English
This framework presents a systematic, asset-preserving transition pathway for existing hydrocarbon infrastructure, covering four parallel tracks: closed-loop geothermal conversion of aging wells, pipeline upgrade for hydrogen and biogas, storage repurposing for renewable energy, and deployment of a distributed monitoring array. It provides five falsifiable predictions and emphasizes that the companies that built the hydrocarbon network should lead its transformation.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも老朽化したガス田やパイプラインの転用が課題となっており、本フレームワークは石油・ガス企業の既存資産を活用したクリーンエネルギー転換の具体的な道筋を示す点で、日本のエネルギー転換政策やインフラ更新計画に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This framework is globally relevant as it offers a practical, asset-based approach to energy transition that avoids stranded assets and workforce displacement, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement and net-zero commitments. It provides a replicable model for regions with extensive hydrocarbon infrastructure, such as North America, the Middle East, and parts of Europe.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers can study the technical feasibility and economic viability of the four transition tracks and test the falsifiable predictions.
🏢実務担当者:Energy companies can adopt the framework to plan asset repurposing projects and engage stakeholders with a clear transition roadmap.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can use the framework to design regulatory incentives and infrastructure policies that support the conversion of existing hydrocarbon assets.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The global hydrocarbon industry has spent more than a century building the most extensive energy infrastructure in human history: millions of kilometres of pipeline, hundreds of thousands of drilled wells, vast storage networks, and processing facilities on every inhabited continent. The environmental cost of that construction has been severe and well-documented. This framework does not relitigate that cost — it addresses what happens next. The Presignal Hydrocarbon Infrastructure Transition Framework presents a systematic, company-led, asset-preserving transition pathway that converts existing hydrocarbon infrastructure into a clean energy network without shutting down companies, displacing workforces, or abandoning the physical assets that took a century to build. The transition operates across four parallel tracks: (1) closed-loop geothermal conversion of aging and abandoned wells using existing borehole infrastructure; (2) pipeline network upgrade for hydrogen and biological synthetic gas transmission, addressing hydrogen embrittlement at the materials level with progressive blending; (3) storage facility repurposing for renewable energy storage including compressed air, thermal, and synthetic fuel; and (4) deployment of the Presignal distributed electromagnetic monitoring array across the transitioning network to maintain safety and operational intelligence throughout the conversion period. Five falsifiable predictions are provided. This is a worldwide initiative. The companies that built the hydrocarbon network are the right entities to lead its transformation — they have the infrastructure, the workforce, the regulatory relationships, and the site access that no new entrant can replicate. The path forward does not require starting over. It requires upgrading what exists.
