本論文は、グローバルなLNG貿易の持続可能性をPESTLE分析を用いて質的に検討する。地政学的緊張、市場変動、社会的公平性、環境圧力が持続可能な海運と貿易に影響を与える一方、技術革新が脱炭素化へのコミットメントを示している。LNGは石炭や石油よりクリーンだが、依然として化石燃料であり、将来世代の持続可能性とのバランスが課題である。

This paper qualitatively examines the sustainability of global LNG trade using a PESTLE analysis. Geopolitical tensions, market volatility, social equity, and environmental pressures challenge the industry, while technological innovation signals a commitment to decarbonization. LNG is cleaner than coal or oil but remains fossil fuel, requiring balance with intergenerational sustainability.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Sustainable maritime transport is a growing concern for the International Marine Organization (IMO) as it seeks to align with the Sustainable Development Agenda of 2030. LNG energy is still within the fossil fuel family; however, it is a better energy source than fossil fuel resources like coal or oil. Consequently, since the use of LNG for energy sources is projected to continue substituting other fossil fuels and play a role in the reduction of carbon emissions, sustainable shipping and LNG trade are critical to address. This paper is a qualitative study that adopts a PESTLE analysis of global LNG Trade and the implications on sustainability. To examine how to achieve a sustainable balance, on how LNG shipping and trade activities operate to meet the present demand for LNG without compromising the sustainable state of future generations. The study reveals that global LNG trade operates within a multifaceted web of forces, each carrying significant implications for sustainable shipping and trade across generations. Geopolitical tensions continue to disrupt trade routes, while market volatility, social equity concerns, and mounting environmental pressures collectively challenge the industry's sustainability trajectory. Nevertheless, accelerating technological innovation signals a growing industry commitment to decarbonization.
