機械学習モデルを用いて、気候変動を考慮した水力発電貯水池の温室効果ガス排出を将来予測。ネットゼロシナリオ下では、2050年までに水力発電の排出がエネルギー部門全体の87%を占め、計画中のプロジェクトがその44.6%を寄与すると示した。地域別の排出ピーク時期や気候条件による変動も明らかにした。
English
Using machine learning models trained on published datasets, this study projects greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower reservoirs under climate change. Under a net-zero scenario, total emissions from installed and planned projects could reach 87% of energy-sector emissions by 2050, with planned projects contributing 44.6%. Regional peaks vary, with some areas peaking in the 2060s and others stabilizing by the 2090s.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は再生可能エネルギー拡大を進めるが、水力発電の新規開発は限定的。本研究成果は、既存・計画中の水力発電の気候影響を評価する際の参考となり、日本のエネルギー政策における水力の位置づけや、カーボンニュートラル達成に向けた排出削減策の検討に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, this study challenges the assumption that hydropower is entirely carbon-neutral, providing critical insights for climate disclosure and transition planning. It underscores the need for accurate emissions accounting in renewable energy projects, relevant to TCFD/ISSB reporting and net-zero strategies. The findings could influence investment decisions and policy frameworks for sustainable hydropower development.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Hydropower reservoirs are recognised as significant sources of greenhouse gases. In this study, we employed machine learning models trained on published datasets to assess reservoir emissions over time, explicitly accounting for changing climatic conditions. Here we show that, under a net-zero emissions scenario, total greenhouse gas emissions from both installed and planned hydropower projects are projected to exceed those from conventional energy sources, representing 87% of total energy-sector emissions by 2050, with 44.6% from planned projects. Within this scenario, planned reservoirs and constructed reservoirs are expected to emit approximately 2509 and 2360 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, respectively. Globally, hydropower GHG emissions are projected to surge during the 2060s, primarily driven by methane ebullition. In North America, Africa, and Europe, emissions are expected to reach a peak in the 2060s, after which they decline due to drier climatic conditions, whereas emissions in South America and Central and South Asia are projected to stabilise by the 2090s. Hydropower reservoirs representing 87% of total energy-sector emissions by 2050 under a net-zero scenario; according to machine learning models trained on published datasets accounting for evolving climatic conditions.
