日本語
本稿はEUのグリーンディールとバイオエコノミー戦略を背景に、バイオベース建設材料の普及障壁を構造的・経済的・技術的・促進的の4層に分類し、それらの因果関係を分析する。技術面より制度・経済面の障壁が大きく、政策介入の順序が重要と結論づける。さらに地政学リスク（2026年ホルムズ海峡混乱）を例に、EU建設が化石由来材料に依存する脆弱性を指摘する。
English
This paper analyzes barriers to mainstream adoption of bio-based construction materials in the EU, categorizing them into structural, economic, technical, and enabling levels. It finds institutional and economic barriers dominate over technical ones, highlighting the need for coordinated policy, market design, and industrial strategy. A scenario on the 2026 Strait of Hormuz disruption underscores the geopolitical vulnerability of fossil-dependent construction.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の建設業界でもバイオベース材料への関心が高まっているが、本論文はEUの事例から政策・制度的障壁の克服戦略を提示しており、日本のグリーン建築政策への示唆を与える。特に規格の標準化やサプライチェーン強化は日本でも課題である。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a systemic analysis of barriers to bio-based construction materials, linking them to EU policy targets and geopolitical supply risks. It offers insights for global construction decarbonization and circular economy transitions, emphasizing that institutional and economic barriers must be addressed alongside technical improvements.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:The paper categorizes barriers into structural, economic, technical, and enabling levels, providing a framework for future research on bio-based material adoption.
🏢実務担当者:Construction firms and material suppliers can use the barrier mapping to prioritize interventions and advocate for harmonized standards.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers should focus on institutional and economic barriers, not just technical improvements, and coordinate governance and market design.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The construction sector must simultaneously meet rising global demand and cut embodied carbon deeply enough to satisfy European Green Deal and Bioeconomy Strategy targets—two pressures that conventional petrochemical-derived materials are poorly placed to resolve. Bio-based alternatives offer a credible path: they sequester carbon, carry lower embodied emissions, improve indoor air quality, and fit naturally within circular economy models. Yet they remain marginal in specification practice. This paper reviews the evidence on bio-based construction materials and maps the barriers that keep them there. The analysis organises these barriers into four levels—structural, economic, technical, and enabling—and traces the conditional relationships between them, with direct consequences for how policy interventions should be sequenced. The strategic case for this transition extends beyond environmental policy: the 2026 Strait of Hormuz disruption is used here as a scenario to show how dependent European construction is on fossil-derived material inputs, and how exposed that dependence leaves the sector to geopolitical supply shocks. The principal obstacles to adoption prove to be institutional and economic rather than technical—regulatory fragmentation, absent harmonised standards, fragile supply chains, and market structures that systematically undervalue bio-based solutions. The paper concludes that meaningful scaling requires coordinated action across governance, market design, and industrial policy, and that material and performance advances alone will not deliver it.
