日本語
本論文は、インドネシア・モロワリ工業団地（IMIP）におけるニッケル下流加工政策をグリーン・エクストラクティビズムの観点から分析する。気候危機やエネルギー転換の言説が、持続可能性の主張（ESG、脱炭素化）とともに、急速な産業拡大を正当化するために利用されていることを示す。下流加工は依然として従来型の採掘や石炭火力に依存し、環境劣化や住民の生計破壊などの社会生態学的影響を伴う。この研究は、グリーン・エクストラクティビズムの枠組みをラテンアメリカ以外に拡張し、国家主導の下流加工モデルにおける持続可能性ナラティブの機能を批判的に考察する。
English
This paper analyzes the nickel downstreaming policy in Indonesia's Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) through the lens of green extractivism. It shows how climate crisis and energy transition narratives, along with sustainability claims (ESG, decarbonization), are used to justify rapid industrial expansion. Downstreaming remains dependent on conventional mining and coal power, causing environmental degradation and livelihood disruption. The study extends green extractivism critique beyond Latin America, highlighting how sustainability narratives can legitimize extractive expansion in state-led industrial parks.

本論文は、インドネシアのニッケル下流加工における持続可能性ナラティブの機能を批判的に検証する。日本の企業は同国のニッケルサプライチェーンに深く関与しており、本稿の知見は、GX戦略におけるサプライチェーン管理やグリーンウォッシングリスクの評価に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides a critical perspective on how sustainability and decarbonization narratives are deployed in the nickel supply chain, a key component of the global energy transition. It challenges assumptions about green industrialization and is relevant for global discussions on ESG, greenwashing, and the socioecological impacts of critical mineral extraction.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers a valuable extension of green extractivism theory to Asian industrial park models, critiquing the use of energy transition narratives to justify environmental harm.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams should note the risks of relying on green narratives in critical mineral supply chains without addressing actual socioecological impacts.
🏛政策担当者:Regulators scrutinizing green claims in critical mineral supply chains can use this case to understand how transparency and accountability mechanisms are needed.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The global energy transition has increased demand for critical minerals used in electric vehicle batteries, positioning nickel as a strategic resource. In Indonesia, this demand is linked to a state-led downstreaming agenda centered on the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP), a major hub for nickel processing. This article examines how sustainability narratives are used to drive extractive expansion in IMIP. It adopts a qualitative single-case study design and uses a desk review of policy documents, corporate reports, gray literature, media sources, and academic studies from 2013 to 2025. The analysis is guided by Dunlap’s framework of green extractivism. The findings show that IMIP reflects four interrelated features of green extractivism. Climate crisis and energy transition narratives are used to justify rapid industrial expansion. Extractive activities are legitimized through sustainability claims such as green development, ESG, and decarbonization. Downstreaming remains dependent on conventional extractivism, including upstream mining, land conversion, and coal-based energy systems. Sustainability is framed as a manageable technical issue, while socioecological impacts continue to accumulate, including environmental degradation, health risks, and livelihood disruption. This article contributes by extending the analysis of green extractivism beyond Latin America and by showing how it operates through a state-led downstreaming and industrial park model. It demonstrates that sustainability narratives can function as a justification for extractive expansion, raising concern about the conditions under which green industrialization can be aligned with meaningful environmental and social outcomes.
