Accelerating sustainable development in hard-to-abate sectors: An economic case for enzymatic carbon capture

日本語

本論文は、酵素的炭素回収技術の経済的実現可能性を分析し、鉄鋼や化学などの難削減セクターでの適用可能性を示す。従来のアミン法に比べ、低エネルギー・低環境負荷でCO2を回収できる可能性を指摘し、持続可能な開発目標達成への寄与を論じる。経済的コスト分析を通じて、政策的支援の重要性も強調している。

English

This paper presents an economic analysis of enzymatic carbon capture technology, demonstrating its viability for hard-to-abate sectors such as steel and chemicals. It argues that enzymatic methods offer lower energy consumption and environmental impact compared to conventional amine scrubbing, contributing to sustainable development goals. The analysis highlights the need for policy support to achieve cost competitiveness.

日本のGX文脈において

日本の鉄鋼・化学産業はCO2排出量が多く、酵素的CCUSは脱炭素の鍵技術として注目される。本稿の経済分析は、国内での導入促進やSSBJ開示における技術投資の根拠として活用可能。

In the global GX context

Enzymatic carbon capture is a promising innovation for global CCUS scale-up, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors. This paper provides an economic rationale that could inform corporate transition plans under TCFD/ISSB frameworks and support policy design for industrial decarbonization.
