Current energy infrastructure is not sustainable due to highly dependence to fossil fuels. Increasing energy usage obliges people to find new, economic, environmental friendly and safe energy options. Recent studies indicate that there are many alternative ways for fossil fuels such as solar, geothermal, wind and biomass. By using these renewable sources in tri-generation or multigeneration energy systems, the desired energy infrastructure can be set. On the other hand, hydrogen is seen as future energy carrier because of its advantages. There are many options to benefit from hydrogen such as fuel cells, direct combustion, or store as gas or liquid. However, awareness of society of the renewable energy usage and also hydrogen as energy carrier is not sufficient. In order to increase the awareness of the society, teachers have high responsibility. In this study, views of elementary science teacher candidates on hydrogen as future energy carrier are evaluated by using qualitative phenomenological research. Ten students from elementary science teacher department in Afyon Kocatepe University are selected for semi structured interview. The results of these interviews are analyzed by using content analysis method.
