脱炭素化するエネルギーシステムは温室効果ガス排出を削減するが、再生可能エネルギーの拡大は重要原材料の需要を増大させる。本論文は59の欧州エネルギーシステムモデリング研究を系統的にレビューし、5つの主要技術と19の材料について定量的に材料需要を評価。7つの材料（Ga, In, Ir, Te; ややAg, Se, V）で欧州の人口シェアに基づく世界埋蔵量を超過することを発見。競合する非エネルギー需要が希少性を増幅する一方、技術革新は緩和または強化する可能性がある。結論として、エネルギー効率、リサイクル、埋蔵量拡大、技術革新だけでは不足に対応できず、エネルギー消費の抑制策が必要と提言。
English
Decarbonizing energy systems reduces emissions but increases demand for critical raw materials. This paper reviews 59 European energy system modeling studies and quantitatively assesses material demands for 5 key technologies and 19 materials. It finds that for 7 materials (Ga, In, Ir, Te; less for Ag, Se, V), demand exceeds Europe's population-based share of global reserves. Competing non-energy demand amplifies scarcity, while technological innovation can either alleviate or intensify it. The paper concludes that efficiency, recycling, and innovation only partly address shortages, calling for energy sufficiency measures.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本でも再生可能エネルギー拡大に伴う重要資源（レアアース等）の確保が課題。本論文の欧州事例は、日本の資源戦略やサーキュラーエコノミー政策（例えば、2050年カーボンニュートラルに向けた資源制約の評価）に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides quantitative evidence that European energy scenarios may underestimate raw material constraints. Globally, it highlights the need to integrate material feasibility into energy transition models, relevant for ISSB's resource use disclosure and transition finance frameworks.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Highlights a critical gap in energy system modeling: the neglect of material constraints, urging integration of resource loops.
🏛政策担当者:Demonstrates that energy strategies relying solely on renewables may face material bottlenecks, supporting policies for sufficiency and recycling.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Decarbonising energy systems reduces emissions and fossil fuel dependency, but expanding renewables increases demands for critical raw materials. Most energy system models, however, neglect material demands, putting the material feasibility of energy scenarios at question. We combine a systematic review of 59 highly decarbonised European energy system modelling studies with a quantitative ex-post assessment of material demands for 5 key technologies and 19 materials. We find that material demands exceed Europe's population-based shares of current global reserves for seven materials (Ga, In, Ir, Te; less pronounced for Ag, Se, V), in particular if multiple sectors of the energy system are considered. Competing non-energy demand further amplifies the scarcity, while technological innovation can either alleviate or intensify it. We conclude that energy efficiency, recycling, expanding reserves and technological innovation may only partly address the identified shortages and call for energy sufficiency measures to achieve sustainability in the energy-material nexus.
