本論文は、ノルウェーのバッテリー産業専門家へのインタビューを通じて、バッテリーの持続可能性に関する専門家の言説を分析。社会的表象理論と批判的言説心理学を用い、専門家が弱い持続可能性を強化しつつ、変革的な代替案への個人的願望も示すことを明らかにした。エネルギー転換における持続可能性の意味形成に示唆を与える。
English
This article analyzes expert discourses on battery sustainability through interviews with Norwegian battery industry experts. Using social representations theory and critical discursive psychology, it reveals that hegemonic representations align with weak sustainability, legitimizing social and environmental consequences, while critical representations question electrification and advocate for systemic transformation. The study highlights how expert talk shapes sustainability's meaning in the energy transition.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Despite the necessity of batteries for a successful energy transition, the battery value chain poses numerous environmental, social, and governance challenges that are further exacerbated by rapidly growing demand. Although the sustainability of batteries is gaining increasing attention in policy and industry, no research to date has addressed how experts construct, negotiate, and evaluate their inherent characteristics. This article seeks to address this gap by reporting on interviews with battery industry experts in Norway. Drawing on social representations theory and critical discursive psychology, we attend to both the construction (what is said) and the function (why it is said) of expert talk. The analysis illustrates that the hegemonic representations of battery sustainability align with weak sustainability, framing batteries as a necessary solution compatible with continued growth and prosperity. Respondents use the flexibility of the sustainability concept to legitimize social and environmental consequences, thereby justifying the status quo and maintaining the existing system of inequality. Yet, critical (polemic) representations also appear in the interviews, where the experts question electrification and batteries as the path to a sustainable future. These alternative representations emphasize systemic transformation and sufficiency, opening space for stronger forms of sustainability. Overall, the results highlight how expert discourse shapes the meaning and practical use of sustainability in the energy transition, primarily reinforcing dominant understandings of sustainability, while expressing personal aspirations for more transformative alternatives.
