本論文は、アンモニア・メタノール・水素・Power-to-Liquid燃料を対象に、Well-to-Wake（WtW）ライフサイクル評価で海運代替燃料の実現可能性を検証した。低炭素電力と厳格な炭素管理に基づく燃料のみが長期脱炭素目標に整合する一方、既存規制がTank-to-Wake会計に依存するため構造的ミスマッチが生じ、非効率な資本配分と技術ロックインを招く恐れがあると指摘する。さらに、eフューエル生産が低コスト再エネ地域に集中し、生産地と規制需要地（欧州・英国）が乖離する新たな地理的課題を提示し、WtW強度閾値に基づく規制と国内生産能力支援の必要性を論じる。
English
This paper assesses maritime alternative fuel pathways—ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and power-to-liquid—using a systematic well-to-wake (WtW) life cycle assessment. Only fuels from low-carbon electricity and controlled carbon inputs consistently meet long-term decarbonisation targets, yet current policy relying on tank-to-wake accounting creates a structural misalignment that risks ineffective capital allocation and technology lock-in. It also introduces a novel analysis of e-fuel production geography, showing clustering in low-cost renewable regions that diverges from regulatory demand in Europe and the UK, and argues for quantitative WtW GHG intensity thresholds over colour taxonomies.

日本のGX文脈において
海運の脱炭素化は、日本にとって国際海運・造船・エネルギー供給の競争力に直結する。WtW会計とeフューエル供給網の地理的偏在は、日本の水素・アンモニア輸入戦略やSSBJ/有報でのScope3開示、国際ルール形成への関与を考える上で示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
This paper directly informs global maritime decarbonisation policy, particularly the IMO's lifecycle GHG intensity guidelines and the EU's FuelEU Maritime regulation. Its critique of tank-to-wake accounting and call for WtW thresholds aligns with ISSB/CSRD lifecycle disclosure trends and transition finance debates on shipping. The geographical concentration analysis adds a novel energy-security dimension to global e-fuel supply chain discussions.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:WtW LCAの不確実性と政策会計の乖離を定量化する手法として、海運脱炭素研究の新たな分析枠組みを提供する。
🏢実務担当者:海運・エネルギー企業は、eフューエル調達戦略やScope3開示において、WtW強度と供給地リスクを考慮した投資判断が求められる。
🏛政策担当者:IMOやEUの規制当局は、TtWからWtWへの移行と定量的閾値導入の必要性を検討すべき。
📄 Abstract（原文）
International shipping faces a critical decarbonisation challenge, with lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions continuing to rise despite efficiency improvements and projected to grow substantially without intervention. This paper evaluates the viability of alternative maritime fuel pathways through a systematic well-to-wake (WtW) life cycle assessment (LCA), examining ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and power-to-liquid fuels across a range of production routes. Results reveal substantial intra-pathway variability, with only fuels derived from low-carbon electricity and rigorously controlled carbon inputs consistently achieving intensities compatible with long-term decarbonisation targets. The analysis identifies a structural misalignment between empirical evidence and existing policy frameworks, which continue to rely in part on tank-to-wake (TtW) accounting. This misalignment risks incentivising fuel pathways that are formally compliant but environmentally ineffective, leading to inefficient capital allocation and potential technological lock-in. The paper argues for the adoption of quantitative WtW GHG intensity thresholds as the foundation of maritime fuel regulation, replacing reliance on categorical "colour" taxonomies. Beyond lifecycle emissions, the paper introduces a novel analysis of the geographical concentration of e-fuel production. Emerging supply chains are increasingly clustered in regions with low-cost renewable resources, creating a divergence between the locations of fuel production and regulatory demand, particularly in Europe and the UK. This raises critical concerns regarding lifecycle emissions from transport, the externalisation of industrial value, and the potential reconfiguration of global energy dependencies. The findings demonstrate that maritime decarbonisation is a systems-level challenge spanning emissions accounting, industrial strategy, and energy security. Effective policy must therefore integrate robust WtW methodologies with interventions that address supply chain geography and support the development of domestic e-fuel production capacity.
