本フレームワークは、石油・ガス会社が既存のインフラ（パイプライン、井戸、貯蔵施設）を放棄せずに、地熱、水素、再生可能エネルギー貯蔵などのクリーンエネルギーシステムに転換するための4つの並行トラックを提案する。世界規模のイニシアチブであり、5つの反証可能な予測を提供する。
English
This framework proposes a systematic, asset-preserving transition for hydrocarbon companies to convert existing pipelines, wells, and storage facilities into clean energy networks via four parallel tracks: geothermal conversion, hydrogen/biogas pipeline upgrades, storage repurposing, and electromagnetic monitoring. It provides five falsifiable predictions and emphasizes that incumbent companies are best positioned to lead the transition.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のエネルギー企業にとって、既存のガスパイプラインや坑井を水素・地熱に転用する本フレームワークは、GX推進の具体策として参考になる。日本のSSBJ開示や統合報告書での移行計画策定にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This framework offers a practical pathway for energy companies globally to avoid stranded assets while aligning with net-zero goals. It directly addresses transition finance criteria and provides a blueprint for company-led decarbonization consistent with TCFD/ISSB disclosure expectations.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The global hydrocarbon industry has spent more than a century building the most extensive energy infrastructure in human history: millions of kilometres of pipeline, hundreds of thousands of drilled wells, vast storage networks, and processing facilities on every inhabited continent. The environmental cost of that construction has been severe and well-documented. This framework does not relitigate that cost — it addresses what happens next. The Presignal Hydrocarbon Infrastructure Transition Framework presents a systematic, company-led, asset-preserving transition pathway that converts existing hydrocarbon infrastructure into a clean energy network without shutting down companies, displacing workforces, or abandoning the physical assets that took a century to build. The transition operates across four parallel tracks: (1) closed-loop geothermal conversion of aging and abandoned wells using existing borehole infrastructure; (2) pipeline network upgrade for hydrogen and biological synthetic gas transmission, addressing hydrogen embrittlement at the materials level with progressive blending; (3) storage facility repurposing for renewable energy storage including compressed air, thermal, and synthetic fuel; and (4) deployment of the Presignal distributed electromagnetic monitoring array across the transitioning network to maintain safety and operational intelligence throughout the conversion period. Five falsifiable predictions are provided. This is a worldwide initiative. The companies that built the hydrocarbon network are the right entities to lead its transformation — they have the infrastructure, the workforce, the regulatory relationships, and the site access that no new entrant can replicate. The path forward does not require starting over. It requires upgrading what exists.
