本理論論文は、産業共生ネットワークが温室効果ガス排出削減に寄与するメカニズムを環境経済学の観点から概念化する。材料代替、エネルギーカスケード、廃棄物価値化の三つの運用メカニズムを特定し、それらを活動・メカニズム・環境成果・経済成果の四要素からなる枠組みに整理。CO2換算を主要指標とし、コスト削減やエコ効率性を通じて排出削減と経済効率の整合性を説明する。
English
This theoretical paper conceptualizes how industrial symbiosis networks contribute to greenhouse gas emission reduction from an environmental economics perspective. It identifies three operational mechanisms—material substitution, energy cascading, and waste valorization—and structures them in a framework of four interrelated components: activities, mechanisms, environmental performance, and economic outcomes. Using CO2-equivalent as the primary indicator, it explains how emission reduction aligns with economic efficiency through cost savings and eco-efficiency.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Type of the article: Theoretical Article AbstractIndustrial symbiosis has gained increasing importance as a systemic approach within the circular economy for improving resource efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study is to develop a theoretical framework explaining how industrial symbiosis networks contribute to greenhouse gas emission reduction within an environmental economics perspective. The study is based on a theoretical analysis and conceptual synthesis of industrial ecology and environmental economics literature.The results identify three core operational mechanisms – material substitution, energy cascading, and waste valorization – through which industrial symbiosis reduces lifecycle emissions, and structure their relationships within a framework consisting of four interrelated components: industrial symbiosis activities, operational mechanisms, environmental performance outcomes, and environmental economic outcomes. Greenhouse gas emissions expressed in CO2-equivalent terms are conceptualized as the primary environmental performance indicator, while economic indicators such as cost savings, eco-efficiency, and emission abatement cost are integrated to explain how emission reduction aligns with economic efficiency. The framework demonstrates that industrial symbiosis functions as a decentralized coordination mechanism that reduces environmental externalities through system-level resource optimization rather than technological change alone.The findings contribute to environmental economics theory by clarifying the relationship between industrial cooperation, environmental performance indicators, and economic efficiency, providing a structured basis for future empirical assessment and policy evaluation.
