本論文は、アフリカ、ラテンアメリカ、アジアのグリーン・シッピング・コリドーにおける合成燃料（水素、アンモニア、メタノール、メタン）の生産コストを推計する手法を提案する。PyPSAを用いて250地点を評価し、水素で212～404.6 EUR/MWhのコスト範囲を示した。太陽光の過剰導入が電解槽の稼働率向上に寄与し、コスト低減に有効である。
English
This study estimates the production costs of synthetic maritime fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, methane) along the Global Gateway Green Shipping Corridors in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Using PyPSA, it benchmarks 250 locations, finding hydrogen costs ranging from 212 to 404.6 EUR/MWh. Overbuilding solar photovoltaic capacity improves electrolyzer utilization and reduces costs despite curtailment.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は水素・アンモニアを海運燃料として推進しており、本論文のコスト推計手法は日本の政策立案や企業の投資判断に参考となる。ただし、分析はグローバルな拠点を対象としており、日本国内の地域への直接適用には調整が必要。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a global benchmark for synthetic fuel costs, supporting the EU's Global Gateway initiative and informing international shipping decarbonization. The methodology can be adapted for national assessments, including under ISSB or CSRD disclosure frameworks for transition planning.

🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can leverage the location-specific cost rankings to prioritize infrastructure support and subsidies for synthetic fuel production.
📄 Abstract（原文）
In the context of the Global Gateway Green Shipping Corridors, an ambitious initiative to facilitate the transition to renewable and low carbon fuels for maritime transport in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, we explore potential areas where production costs can be competitive. We propose a methodology to rank 250 locations worldwide in terms of production costs of hydrogen and derived synthetic fuels as an initial screening indicator for potential production costs. The methodology uses the PyPSA software package, explicitly accounting for renewable energy capacity and technology costs, setting a common ground to benchmark locations in terms of their estimated levelized cost of fuel (LCOX). Results across the 250 locations determined ranges of 212–404.6 EUR/MWh for hydrogen, 258.3–414.3 EUR/MWh for ammonia, 308 to 478.4 EUR/MWh for methanol, and 298–466 EUR/MWh for methane. The optimal system designs tend to overbuild solar photovoltaic capacity, allowing for a higher utilization rate of the electrolyzer, the most expensive component of the system. This leads to lower production costs even though electricity production may need to be curtailed.
