本論文は、EUのグリーン水素・低炭素水素輸入における規制障壁をWTO協定の観点から分析する。EUが非化石燃料由来水素を優遇し、第三国の保証機関を認めないことが貿易障壁となり得るかを検討。結論として、特定の規制がWTO協定に抵触する可能性を示唆。
English
This paper analyzes regulatory barriers to the EU's import of green and low-carbon hydrogen under WTO trade rules. It examines whether the EU's preference for renewable hydrogen and non-recognition of third-country guarantees of origin create illegal trade barriers. The article finds that certain EU regulations may violate WTO non-discrimination principles, potentially affecting global hydrogen trade.

日本のGX文脈において
日本も水素基本戦略を策定し、国際的な水素サプライチェーン構築を目指す中、EUの規制枠組みとWTO整合性の分析は、日本の水素政策や国際ルール形成への示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
As the EU pioneers hydrogen regulation, this paper tests its WTO compatibility—critical for global hydrogen trade governance. The findings inform ISSB-aligned disclosure on cross-border hydrogen accounting and transition finance for clean hydrogen projects.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Hydrogen is a promising fuel because it does not emit GHG emissions during its use, and could replace incumbent fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, oil) in heavy industries and transport sectors. Emphasis must be on hydrogen’s production process, as it is mostly produced from unabated fossil fuel sources. Moreover, there is presently no regulatory alignment as to what constitutes clean hydrogen, or methodology to account for GHG emission during the production process in guarantees of origin schemes. In turn, the regulatory diversity could create barriers to the trade of hydrogen and its derivatives across jurisdictions. This article examines whether the WTO rules on the trade in goods allow Members to create barriers to the trade of hydrogen produced with unabated fossil fuels. The EU is an interesting case study, as it gives a regulatory preference for green and low-carbon hydrogen, and prohibits Member States from recognizing third-country guarantees of origin.
