再生可能水素の普及に向け、標準・認証・ラベリング制度（SCL）の持続可能性基準を国際調査（n=179）で検討。多様な基準の組み込みは可能だが、必須度に差があり、地域やサプライチェーン位置で見解が分かれた。調和の魅力と重複・複雑化・規制矛盾のリスクが示され、マルチステークホルダーガバナンスに基づく枠組みの必要性を提言。
English
This international survey of 179 energy professionals examines desirable sustainability features for renewable hydrogen certification schemes. While diverse criteria are feasible, perceived essentiality varies, and views differ by geography and supply chain position. Harmonization is attractive but risks duplication and regulatory conflict, highlighting the need for a multistakeholder governance framework.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Hydrogen produced from renewable energy is being promoted to decarbonise global energy systems. To support this energy transition, standards, certification, and labelling schemes (SCLs) aim to differentiate hydrogen products based on their system-wide carbon emissions and method of production characteristics. However, being certified as low-carbon, clean, or green hydrogen does not guarantee broader sustainability across economic, environmental, social, or governance dimensions. Through an international survey of energy-sector and sustainability professionals (n = 179), we investigated the desirable sustainability features for renewable hydrogen SCLs and the perceived advantages and disadvantages of sustainability certification. Our mixed-method study revealed general accordance on the feasible inclusion of diverse sustainability criteria in SCLs, albeit with varying degrees of perceived essentiality. Within the confines of the data, some differences in viewpoints emerged based on respondents’ geographical and supply chain locations, which were associated with the sharing of costs and benefits. Qualitatively, respondents found the idea of SCL harmonisation attractive but weighed this against the risks of duplication, complicated administrative procedures, and contradictory regulation. The implications of this research centre on the need for further studies to inform policy recommendations for an overarching SCL sustainability framework that embodies the principles of harmonisation in the context of multistakeholder governance.
