本研究は、企業による低炭素エネルギー移行（原子力含む）が排出削減に寄与するかは、強力な気候政策と法の支配といった制度的枠組みに依存することを、国際的なエネルギー企業サンプルを用いて実証する。特に、原子力推進国と反原子力国での結果の差異を明らかにし、制度設計の重要性を示す。企業戦略と政策設計に示唆を与える。
English
This study examines whether corporate low-carbon energy transition (including nuclear) reduces emissions, using an international sample of energy firms. It finds that emission reductions are significant only when embedded in strong climate policies and rule of law, highlighting divergence between pro-nuclear and anti-nuclear regulatory environments. The paper underscores that institutional context is critical for successful decarbonization via contested technologies.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、日本のGX計画において原子力が重要な位置づけを与えられている現状に照らし、政策の厳格性や法の支配が低炭素エネルギー移行の効果を左右するという知見を提供する。日本のエネルギー転換戦略や企業対応に示唆を与える研究。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper contributes to the debate on nuclear energy's role in the energy transition and its treatment under sustainable finance taxonomies like the EU's. It challenges technological optimism by showing that institutional design—particularly climate policy stringency and rule of law—is decisive for corporate decarbonization through low-carbon transitions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers empirical evidence on the conditional effect of institutional context on the carbon reduction outcomes of corporate low-carbon energy transitions.
🏢実務担当者:Informs corporate sustainability teams that pursuing nuclear or other contested low-carbon technologies requires a supportive policy environment to achieve actual emission reductions.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for strong climate policies and rule of law to unlock the decarbonization potential of nuclear and other low-carbon energy sources.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines the strategic efficacy of corporate low‐carbon energy transition, such as through nuclear energy adoption, as a response to decarbonization pressures. Analyzing an international sample of energy firms, we demonstrate that the relationship between this form of transition and emission reductions is not technologically determined but institutionally channeled. Our analysis reveals that the contribution of a low‐carbon transition strategy to corporate decarbonization is significant only when embedded within a robust institutional framework characterized by stringent climate policies and a strong rule of law. The empirical evidence further highlights a fundamental divergence in outcomes between pronuclear and antinuclear regulatory environments, particularly within the context of the EU's sustainable finance taxonomy. These findings compel a strategic reappraisal. For corporate leaders, pursuing a low‐carbon transition via contested technologies represents not merely an engineering choice but a sophisticated legitimacy‐management instrument whose success is contingent on institutional context. For policymakers, our results underscore that realizing the decarbonization potential of such transitions requires deliberate institutional architecture rather than mere technological adoption.
