本論文は、アイスランドのCodaターミナルCCSプロジェクトへの地域住民の抵抗を、手続き的公正の観点から分析。2024年5月～2025年2月の民族誌的調査（インタビュー13件、参加観察、ソーシャルメディア分析）に基づき、反対の主因が技術自体ではなく、透明性の欠如や意思決定からの排除にあることを示す。CCSの成功には技術的正当性だけでなく、民主的な正当性と参加型プロセスが必要であると論じる。
English
This paper analyzes community resistance to the Coda Terminal CCS project in Iceland from a procedural justice perspective. Based on ethnographic fieldwork (May 2024–February 2025), including 13 interviews, participant observation, and social media analysis, it finds that opposition stemmed from lack of transparency and exclusion from decision-making rather than the technology itself. It argues that successful CCS requires not only technical but also democratic legitimacy and participatory processes.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でもCCSの大規模導入が計画される中（苫小牧等）、本論文は地域住民の手続き的公正を軽視するとプロジェクトの社会的受容性が損なわれるリスクを指摘。SSBJやGX政策において、コミュニティエンゲージメントの重要性を示唆する。
In the global GX context
As CCS scales up globally (e.g., in Europe, North America), this paper highlights that procedural justice is foundational to project viability. It offers a cautionary example for climate tech deployment, relevant to TCFD/ISSB's emphasis on stakeholder engagement and social license to operate.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are increasingly promoted as essential for mitigating global climate change. However, their implementation often lacks transparency and local engagement. This article explores community resistance to a proposed CCS project, Coda Terminal, in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, focusing on issues of procedural justice and community consultation. The study draws on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between May 2024 and February 2025, including 13 in-depth interviews, participant observation at town hall meetings, and monitoring of a Facebook group used for grassroots mobilization. Interviews were thematically analyzed to identify patterns in how residents experienced the planning and consultation process. Findings indicate that local opposition was driven less by CCS technology itself than by widespread dissatisfaction with how the project was introduced and approved. Key concerns included lack of transparency, exclusion from decision-making processes, and perceptions of top-down governance. Grassroots mobilization, especially through social media, enabled residents to assert collective agency and demand democratic accountability. The Coda Terminal case highlights how procedural injustice can emerge even in affluent, democratic contexts when climate technologies are introduced without adequate public consultation. Resistance took the form of “refusal,” challenging the legitimacy of imposed decisions and reframing climate governance as a democratic concern. Technological legitimacy alone is insufficient for successful climate action. Climate interventions must also be democratically legitimate and procedurally just. CCS projects must be developed with transparent, inclusive, and participatory processes. The case underscores that procedural justice is not optional but foundational to the long-term viability of climate solutions.
