廃油由来の持続可能航空燃料(SAF)製造におけるHEFAプロセスにコージェネレーションを統合したHEFA-PGを提案し、LCAで環境性能を比較。電力脱炭素化やグリーン水素導入シナリオ下で、HEFA-PGは排出削減効果が高いが、系統脱炭素化が進むとその優位性は低下。風力由来の電解水素は炭素削減に有効だが、風力設備製造に伴う毒性影響が増大。現状では天然ガス改質水素が総合環境性能に優れ、原料収集・輸送と水素製造が主要な環境ホットスポット。

This study proposes a HEFA-PG process integrating combined heat and power into the conventional HEFA route for waste oil-to-SAF production, and compares environmental performance via LCA. Under grid decarbonization and green hydrogen scenarios, HEFA-PG offers significant emission reductions, but its advantage diminishes with deep grid decarbonization. Wind-powered electrolytic hydrogen cuts carbon but increases human toxicity due to wind equipment manufacturing. Natural gas reforming hydrogen currently shows superior overall environmental performance, with feedstock logistics and hydrogen production as key hotspots.

日本のGX文脈において
日本ではSAFの国産化目標(2030年までに国内需要の10%供給)があり、廃油原料の活用は廃食用油の需給逼迫や調達競争が課題。本研究成果は、HEFAプロセスの電化・水素調達の選択肢を定量的に示し、国内SAFサプライチェーン構築や補助金・規制設計に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, SAF is a key lever for aviation decarbonization, and this LCA provides nuanced insights into the trade-offs of process integration and hydrogen sourcing. It highlights that the benefits of co-generation and green hydrogen depend on grid decarbonization and supply chain burdens, informing ISSB-aligned disclosure and transition planning for aviation fuel producers.

📄 Abstract(原文)
<title>Abstract</title> <p>To reduce the reliance on external electricity and hydrogen in the hydroprocessing of waste oils for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), this study adopts life cycle assessment (LCA) to compare the conventional HEFA process and the HEFA-PG process integrated with combined heat and power, and analyzes their environmental performance under power grid decarbonization and green hydrogen substitution scenarios. Taking 100 tonnes of bio-jet fuel as the functional unit, Aspen Plus simulation and the ReCiPe 2016 model are used to calculate environmental burdens. The results show that both bio-jet fuel pathways have far lower carbon footprints than fossil aviation kerosene. The HEFA-PG process delivers prominent emission reduction benefits through co-generated electricity, yet its carbon mitigation gains gradually decline with deep power grid decarbonization. Although wind-powered electrolytic hydrogen reduces carbon emissions, it leads to remarkably higher human toxicity potential (HTP), which mainly originates from the environmental loads of off-site sulfide tailings generated during wind power equipment manufacturing. Under current technical conditions, hydrogen produced via natural gas reforming presents superior comprehensive environmental performance. The toxicity drawbacks of electrolytic hydrogen can only be alleviated by cleaner production of wind power equipment or reasonable allocation of environmental burdens among co-products. Feedstock collection and transportation as well as hydrogen production are core environmental hotspots, and the HEFA-PG process is more applicable to low-carbon applications in the near and medium term of energy transition.</p>
