本研究はオーストラリアの循環経済におけるグリーン水素開発の社会経済的影響を、雇用創出、地域の公平性、社会的受容に焦点を当てて調査。質的研究デザインを用い、55本の査読付き論文のテーマ分析と5人の関係者への半構造化インタビューを実施。持続可能性移行理論とエネルギー正義フレームワークに基づき、モデレーテッド・メディエーションモデルを構築。グリーン水素が地域雇用と循環型イノベーションの触媒となる一方、先住民や遠隔地コミュニティ間でのインフラ投資と参加の格差が明らかに。
English
This study examines the socio-economic impacts of green hydrogen development within Australia's circular economy, focusing on job creation, regional fairness, and public acceptance. Using a qualitative design with thematic analysis of 55 articles and semi-structured interviews with five stakeholders, it identifies green hydrogen as a catalyst for regional employment and circular innovation, but highlights disparities in infrastructure investment and community participation, especially among Indigenous and remote populations. The findings emphasize the role of stakeholder engagement, procedural fairness, and community legitimacy, mediated by policy and education, for equitable hydrogen transitions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文はオーストラリアの事例だが、日本の水素社会実装においても、社会的受容や地域間格差の課題は共通。SSBJや有報での非財務情報開示が進む中、水素プロジェクトの社会的正当性を評価する枠組みとして参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a framework for operationalizing energy justice in hydrogen development, relevant to global hydrogen strategies. It complements disclosure frameworks like ISSB and CSRD by addressing social equity and stakeholder engagement, which are increasingly recognized as material factors in transition finance.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study aims to investigate the socio-economic impacts of green hydrogen development within Australia’s circular economy, with a focus on workforce transformation, regional fairness and public acceptance. The research explores how inclusive governance, stakeholder engagement and education can enhance the legitimacy and effectiveness of hydrogen transitions. The study uses a qualitative research design incorporating a thematic analysis of 55 peer-reviewed articles and semi-structured interviews with five stakeholders across government, industry, academia and civil society. It is theoretically underpinned by Sustainability Transition Theory and the Energy Justice Framework, enabling a moderated-mediation conceptual model. The analysis identifies green hydrogen as a socio-technical catalyst for regional employment and circular innovation. However, significant disparities persist in infrastructure investment and community participation, particularly among Indigenous and remote populations. Stakeholder engagement emerges as a mediating force enabling procedural fairness and community legitimacy, while government policy and education moderate the equitable distribution of benefits. Public acceptance is strongly linked to trust, transparency and perceived local value. This study contributes to the hydrogen transition discourse by operationalizing energy justice principles within a circular economy framework. It advances theoretical understanding through a moderated-mediation model and offers actionable policy insights for equitable, inclusive hydrogen development. The findings are particularly valuable for policymakers, regional planners and sustainability practitioners aiming to align decarbonization efforts with social and spatial equity.
