This review explores how green hydrogen can decarbonize refining and petrochemical industries by replacing conventionally produced hydrogen. It highlights that emission intensity of hydrogen production is the key lever, and stresses that achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 requires global cooperation and financial support for the sector.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策でも水素の活用は重点分野であり、本稿は産業界の脱炭素ロードマップ策定の参考になる。ただし事例や政策提言は欧州中心で、日本独自の事情には触れていない。
In the global GX context
While drawing on IEA and EC policy frameworks, the paper provides a global overview of hydrogen's role in hard-to-abate sectors. It reinforces the ISSB and CSRD emphasis on transition planning and could support corporate disclosure on hydrogen adoption strategies.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The refining and petrochemical industries play an extremely important role in meeting society’s needs by providing products essential for various economic activities. Due to their dependence on fossil fuels (coal, crude oil, and natural gas), used both as an energy source and as raw materials, they are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this review article is to present the potential for decarbonization in the refining and petrochemical industries. Hydrogen is used in large quantities in the refining processes and in the production of key products and intermediates in the petrochemical industry. This article examines the dependence of the refining and petrochemical sectors on hydrogen. To achieve this, key platforms/databases collecting information on publications, such as Web of Science and Scopus, were used. Studies by the International Energy Agency and the European Commission on developing policies for the hydrogen, emission reduction and industrial sectors guided the selection of papers. This article focuses on technologies related to the production of petrochemical products. A strong emphasis is placed on the fact that the primary cause of emissions in this industry is the use of large quantities of hydrogen, meaning that one of the main ways to reduce CO2 emissions is to replace traditionally produced hydrogen with green hydrogen, which is obtained using technologies that do not produce carbon dioxide emissions throughout the entire process. The emission intensity of hydrogen production is therefore a key issue that determines the decarbonization of these industries. Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 will not be possible without global cooperation from all stakeholders, including financial support for this sector. Decarbonization goals set at the national and global levels should reflect this fact.
