EUのミッション都市100のうち6都市を比較し、気候中立目標と化石ガス段階的廃止の計画の乖離を明らかにした。コペンハーゲンやマンハイムは統合的計画と低炭素地域暖房への移行を示すが、他都市はガス網を長期維持し、廃止の法的枠組みや期限が欠如。構造的障壁が移行の信頼性を損なうと結論。
English
Comparing six EU mission cities, this study reveals a gap between climate neutrality commitments and concrete plans to phase out fossil gas. While Copenhagen and Mannheim show integrated planning and shifts to low-carbon district heating, others maintain gas grids without binding timelines or regulatory instruments. Structural barriers in planning and multilevel governance limit credible transition pathways.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の自治体の脱炭素計画にも示唆。SSBJや地域脱炭素ロードマップ策定に当たり、ガス網の将来計画やインフラ廃止の視点が不足している点が共通。都市のエネルギー転換の実効性を高めるための政策立案に参考となる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global discourse on urban climate governance and just transition, highlighting the often-overlooked issue of gas network decommissioning. It offers comparative evidence for cities worldwide facing similar challenges in aligning infrastructure planning with climate neutrality targets, relevant to ISSB and transition finance discussions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Peer-reviewed paper 5-090-26 Many cities around the world have adopted a climate neutrality target. In the EU’s mission ‘Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities’, 100 cities are pursuing the target of achieving climate neutrality by 2030. To achieve this, there needs to be a phase-out of fossil gas. However, municipal strategies for coping with declining gas demand and for the future of gas distribution networks are often lacking. This paper compares six European mission-cities – Barcelona, Budapest, Copenhagen, Ljubljana, Mannheim, and Warsaw – to investigate how local governments address fossil gas dependency, govern heat system transformation and address the infrastructural and economic challenges associated with decommissioning gas networks. The study reveals a discrepancy between climate-neutrality commitments and tangible measures to phase out gas. While cities such as Copenhagen and Mannheim demonstrate integrated planning and substantial shifts towards low-carbon district heating (DH), others maintain gas grids as a long-term component of their heating supply and lack binding timelines or regulatory instruments for transformation or decommissioning. The comparison reveals that, although gas grid decommissioning is essential for managing declining throughput and ensuring affordability, it is rarely addressed explicitly within the EU. Overall, the findings point to structural barriers in planning, communication, and multilevel governance that limit credible transition pathways. The paper concludes that, without integrated infrastructure planning and coherent financing, many cities risk becoming dependent on fossil gas for much longer than their stated climate neutrality targets would allow.
