5.2.3 The Design and Contents of the Interview Guides
Three different interview guides are established to fit the three different types of
interviewees. The interview guides are displayed as appendixes 3, 4, and 5 of the
present document.
The first part of the interview guides is common for the three different types
of interviewees. In a first section, it comprises a short introduction of the author and a description of the research topic. In a second section, the author
explains the purpose of the research providing additional background and context for the research topic. It identifies the four main elements of the renewable
hydrogen framework as displayed in the figure 1: the development of renewable
energy projects, the demand for hydrogen which is currently produced mostly
from fossil-fuels, the potential for decarbonisation using hydrogen from renewable source and the underpinning regulatory framework covering those elements.
As the background for the research is presented to the interviewee, a third section
describes the rationale of the semi-structured interview and the intended use of
the qualitative data collected during the interview. The fourth section provides
practical details regarding the interview itself, such as the invitation for the interview, the duration, the various settings proposed for the interviewees (i.e. virtual
meeting, phone call and email) and the contact details of the interviewer. Finally,
the common part of the interview guides ends with a fifth section defining the
confidentiality procedure the interviewer intends to implement.
