本論文は、欧州のエネルギー安全保障と気候目標の両立を目指し、電化・水素の大陸横断回廊を評価するシナリオフレームワークを提案。中東・北アフリカからの電化回廊や米国・豪州などからの水素回廊により、欧州の天然ガス消費を最大58.7%削減し、2050年までに106億トンのCO2削減効果を見込む。
English
This paper presents a scenario-based framework to evaluate transcontinental electrification and hydrogen corridors for Europe's energy security and climate goals. It finds that corridors from MENA (electrification) and allies (hydrogen) can reduce Europe's natural gas consumption by up to 58.7% and deliver 10.6 GtCO2 mitigation by 2050, with minimal land use and significant employment benefits.

日本のGX文脈において
日本もエネルギー安全保障と脱炭素の両立が課題であり、水素サプライチェーン構築（豪州等との連携）や国際的な電化回廊構想に示唆を与える。本フレームワークは日本のエネルギー戦略やGX政策の評価にも応用可能。
In the global GX context
This paper addresses Europe's dual challenge of energy security and decarbonization amid geopolitical tensions, offering a quantitative framework for transcontinental corridors. It highlights the role of electrification from MENA and hydrogen from allied nations, providing a template for similar global corridor initiatives (e.g., Asia-Pacific hydrogen trade).
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:The scenario framework provides a replicable methodology for assessing cross-border energy corridors and their climate impacts, applicable to other regions.
🏢実務担当者:Energy firms can use the corridor cost-benefit and land-use data to inform investment strategies in hydrogen and renewable electricity imports.
🏛政策担当者:EU and partner-country policymakers should consider the geopolitical and economic implications of diversifying energy imports via such corridors to meet climate targets.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The energy landscape is at a critical inflection point as geopolitical tensions disrupt conventional systems, particularly in Europe, heightening energy security concerns and testing climate goals. While domestic renewable capacity expansion and green hydrogen production are crucial, their effectiveness is constrained by geographical disparities and infrastructural bottlenecks. These limitations underscore the need for transcontinental energy corridors to diversify import portfolios and enable renewable deployment in supplying regions, advancing shared decarbonization goals. To address these challenges, this work presents a novel scenario-based framework to assess electrification and hydrogen corridors, capturing the temporal progression of domestic renewable infrastructure, alignment with climate mitigation pathways, spatial-sectoral implications, and advancements in clean energy cost-effectiveness. Through strategic scenario analyses, the framework evaluates the transformative potential of these corridors to enhance sector-specific resilience and sustainability outcomes in European recipients and unlock decarbonization potential in partnering regions. The findings suggest that electrification corridors from the Middle East and North Africa, alongside hydrogen corridors from allies such as the US, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, etc. can reduce Europe's gross natural gas consumption by up to 58.7%, while delivering climate benefits of 10.6 GtCO2 through 2050 with a land-use factor of 0.26% and creating 3,340.2 million person-days of workforce engagement.
