短期的にはエネルギー強度が産業CO2排出の唯一の有意な要因であり、長期的にはエネルギー強度が排出を増加させる一方、貿易開放度が排出を有意に削減する。GCC諸国における産業活動と炭素排出のデカップリングが進んでいることを示唆する。
English
This study examines determinants of industrial CO2 emissions in GCC countries (2004–2022). Short-run: energy intensity is the only significant driver. Long-run: energy intensity increases emissions while trade openness reduces them. Oil consumption and electricity use do not have significant positive effects, suggesting gradual decoupling from industrial activity.

日本のGX文脈において
GCC諸国は石油依存が高いが、エネルギー効率改善による排出削減の知見は日本の産業部門の省エネ政策にも示唆を与える。特に貿易開放度の排出削減効果は、日本がサプライチェーン排出削減を進める上で参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence of decoupling between industrial growth and CO2 emissions in the GCC, driven by energy efficiency improvements. It contributes to global understanding of how energy intensity and trade openness affect industrial emissions, relevant for emerging economies pursuing net-zero targets.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers panel econometric evidence on drivers of industrial CO2 emissions, useful for calibrating models of industrial decarbonization in resource-rich economies.
🏛政策担当者:GCC policymakers can leverage the finding that trade openness reduces emissions to design strategies that promote low-carbon trade and industrial efficiency.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Devoting attention to the mechanisms of enhancing energy efficiency through the transition to clean energy sources plays a vital and active role in moving forward towards environmental sustainability in the industrial economy. Industrial CO2 emissions across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) remain persistently high despite growing regional commitments to clean energy transition and sustainability. This study examines the key determinants of industrial CO2 emissions in all six GCC member states over the period 2004–2022, focusing on energy efficiency, electricity consumption, oil use, trade openness, and economic growth. The analysis employs advanced panel econometric techniques, including cross-sectional dependence tests, second-generation unit root tests, and panel autoregressive distributed lag estimators, to identify both short-run and long-run relationships among the variables. The results reveal that in the short run, energy intensity is the sole statistically significant driver of industrial emissions. In the long run, energy intensity continues to increase emissions, while trade openness significantly reduces them. Neither oil consumption nor industrial electricity use exerts a significant positive long-run effect on emissions, pointing to a gradual decoupling driven by improving industrial energy efficiency and cleaner electricity generation. These findings suggest an emerging decoupling between industrial activity and carbon emissions in the GCC, driven by improvements in energy efficiency. For GCC economies pursuing economic diversification and net-zero targets, reducing industrial energy intensity and expanding low-carbon energy sources remain critical pathways toward sustainable industrial development.
