abstract = {Social impacts of novel technology can, parallel to
environmental and economic consequences, influence its
sustainability. By analyzing the case of hydrogen production
by advanced alkaline water electrolysis (AEL) from a life
cycle perspective, this paper illustrates the social
implications of the manufacturing of the electrolyzer and
hydrogen production when installed in Germany, Austria, and
Spain. This paper complements previous environmental and
economic assessments, which selected this set of countries
based on their different structures in electricity
production. The paper uses a mixed method design to analyze
the social impact for the workers along the process chain.
Appropriate indicators related to working conditions are
selected on the basis of the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable
Development Goals. The focus on workers is chosen as a first
example to test the relatively new Product Social Impact
LifeCycle Assessment (PSILCA) database version 2.0. The
results of the quantitative assessment are then complemented
and compared through an investigation of the underlying raw
data and a qualitative literature analysis. Overall,
advancedAEL is found to have least social impact along the
German process chain, followed by the Spanish and the
Austrian. All three process chains show impacts on global
upstream processes. In order to reduce social impact and
ultimately contribute to Sustainable Development,
policymakers and industry need to work together to further
improve certain aspects of working conditions in different
locations, particularly within global upstream processes.},
