    Abstract

    Im 21. Jahrhundert wird sich weltweit eine neue industrielle Revolution vollziehen. Kern dieser Revolution ist ein energietechnologischer Paradigmenwechsel, weg von fossilen hin zu regenerativen Energietechnologien. Dieser Paradigmenwechsel stellt die Politik nicht nur vor eine Vielzahl neuer Probleme, sondern bietet ihr auch eine ganze Reihe von Chancen. Eine dieser Chancen besteht darin, festgefahrene energiepolitische Dissense aufzulösen, indem über die Entwicklung und Nutzung neuer Energietechnologien auch neue energiepolitische Konsense gesucht und erarbeitet werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird untersucht, welche Konsenschancen sich aus einer der Schlüsseltechnologien des energietechnologischen Paradigmenwechsels, und zwar der Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellentechnologie, ergeben. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung stehen dabei idealtypische Konsenspfade, vielgestaltige Konsensagenturen und die von diesen Agenturen erarbeiteten unterschiedlichen Konsenstypen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die aus der Wasserstoff- und Brennstoffzellentechnologie erwachsenden Konsenschancen zugleich stabil und fragil sind. -- In the course of the 21st century, a new global Industrial Revolution is expected to take place. An energy-technological paradigm shift away from fossil fuel to regenerative energy technologies will play a decisive role in this Revolution, bringing with it not only new problems for policy makers, but also new opportunities. One area which could profit greatly from this paradigm shift is that of energy policy, where a point of stagnation has been reached. By developing and implementing new energy technologies, a new consensus in energy policy could be achieved. This paper analyses the prospects of such a consensus by examining one of the key technologies in the energy technology paradigm shift: hydrogen and fuel-cell technology. Central to the study are the ideally typical paths of consent, multifaceted consensus agencies and the various consensual types. The study reveals that the chances for consensus emerging from new hydrogen and fuel-cell technology are simultaneously stabile as well as fragile.
