この論文は、SEIM-forecastフレームワークを構築し、貿易需要、船隊動態、空間パターンを考慮して将来の国際海運CO2排出を予測。24の貿易・エネルギー・技術シナリオで、2050年の排出量が2021年比で81-96.9%増加する可能性を示した。IMO 2023戦略に整合するには、2035年までに新造船でゼロカーボン燃料採用が必要であり、2040年まで延長する場合は既存船の寿命を25年から20年に短縮する必要がある。南南貿易によってタイ湾などで排出強度が増加する地理的異質性も明らかにした。
English
This paper develops the SEIM-forecast framework to project international shipping CO2 emissions under 24 scenarios linking trade demand, fleet dynamics, and spatial patterns. Future emissions could increase 81-96.9% by 2050 if no measures. Aligning with IMO 2023 requires zero-carbon fuels for new ships by 2035, or by 2040 with shortened vessel lifespan. South-South trade shifts drive emissions intensity increases in the Gulf of Thailand, Andaman Sea, and Gulf of Aden, while traditional fossil fuel routes decrease.

日本のGX文脈において
この研究は、国際海運からのCO2排出削減の具体的な道筋を示しており、日本の海運業界（日本郵船、商船三井など）や政策担当者にとって重要な知見を提供する。IMO戦略への対応として、ゼロカーボン燃料の導入時期や既存船の更新ペースに関する示唆が特に有用である。
In the global GX context
This paper provides critical projections for international shipping decarbonization, directly relevant to IMO's 2023 Strategy and global climate targets. It highlights the trade-off between fuel transition timing and fleet renewal rates, and the spatial heterogeneity of emission intensity driven by evolving trade patterns. Important for policymakers, shipping companies, and climate negotiators.
👥 読者別の含意

📄 Abstract（原文）
Carrying more than 80% of the international trade volume, international shipping has become a critical challenge for achieving climate goals, yet prognostic approaches investigating future international shipping emission pathways and geographical patterns remain limited. Here, by constructing the "SEIM-forecast" (Shipping Emission Inventory Model-forecast) framework, we explicitly linked future international shipping emissions to trade demand, fleet dynamics, and spatial patterns and realized a multidimensional projection of international shipping CO2 emissions under 24 trade-energy-technology scenarios. Overall, future international maritime trade demand growth alone is projected to increase international shipping CO2 emissions in 2050 by 81%-96.9% relative to 2021, with other conditions held constant. Based on the fleet dynamic simulation, aligning international shipping CO2 emissions with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 2023 Strategy under increasing trade demand pressure requires advancing the full adoption of zero-carbon fuels for newly built vessels and accelerating fleet renewal. With the current average vessel lifespan of 25 years, full adoption of zero-carbon fuels for newly built vessels should occur by 2035. Extending full adoption to 2040 would require shortening the assumed lifespan of existing vessels by about five years (e.g., from 25 to 20 years). Evolving trade structures introduce strong spatial heterogeneity in future international shipping CO2 emission intensity, with increases in the Gulf of Thailand (49.3%, 2050 relative to 2021), Andaman Sea (37.7%), and Gulf of Aden (34.4%) driven by South-South trade, and decreases along traditional fossil-fuel transport corridors, including the western Europe-Middle East-East Asia and Gulf of Mexico routes.
