本論文は、建設部門の脱炭素化に貢献するエネルギー地中構造物の普及が低い原因を、155名の国際的な関係者への調査を通じて分析した。経済的障壁と専門知識・訓練・ガイドラインの不足が主な障壁であり、技術的限界ではないことを明らかにした。特に初期段階では経済的障壁が顕著であるが、実装段階では他の課題が相対的に重要になる。政策立案者や業界リーダーへの戦略的根拠を提供する。
English
This paper analyzes why energy geostructures, which contribute to decarbonizing the construction sector, have low adoption rates, based on a survey of 155 international stakeholders. It finds that economic barriers and lack of expertise, training, and guidelines are the main obstacles, not technical limitations. Economic barriers dominate early feasibility stages, but other challenges become relatively more important during implementation. It provides a strategic evidence base for policymakers and industry leaders.

日本のGX文脈において
日本では、地中熱利用は再生可能エネルギー熱として注目されるが、初期コストや専門人材不足が課題。本調査結果は、日本の建設業界や政策担当者に対し、経済性評価の情報発信と教育プログラムの必要性を示唆する。SSBJや省エネ基準との関連で、地中熱の導入促進策を検討する際の参考となる。
In the global GX context
Globally, energy geostructures align with net-zero targets and building decarbonization. The survey's identification of economic and knowledge barriers provides evidence for policymakers to develop frameworks and incentives. It complements TCFD/ISSB disclosure efforts by highlighting non-technical barriers to clean energy adoption in the built environment.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The urgent requirement to decarbonise the construction sector and reduce building-related fossil fuel consumption has positioned energy geostructures as a pivotal multipurpose solution for climate change mitigation. However, despite a growing body of scientific literature and knowledge-sharing initiatives, global adoption remains disproportionately low. This paper aims to identify which issues and barriers remain to be overcome in order to enable the widespread implementation and use of energy geostructures. Such aim is obtained through the analysis of the results of a survey sent to actors in the construction industry and academia. The survey, involving 155 international participants, reveals that the primary barriers are perceived to be economic factors and a lack of specialised expertise, training, and guidelines, rather than fundamental technical limitations. Notably, the data indicate that economic barriers appear dominant during the initial feasibility stages, highlighting an urgent need for improved dissemination of economic viability studies; however, during the implementation of energy geostructures, additional challenges are reported, diminishing the relative weight of economic constraints. Indeed, a lack of expertise and guidelines is widely acknowledged by respondents, regardless of whether projects are ultimately implemented, emphasising the need for targeted educational initiatives to foster the adoption of energy geostructures. Legal aspects as well as coordination between the different actors during energy geostructures deployment also appear among the difficulties linked to the implementation of energy geostructures. By identifying and comparatively assessing these multifaceted challenges through survey responses, this paper provides a strategic evidence base for policymakers and industry leaders to develop the frameworks necessary to foster the deployment of energy geostructures in the transition to net-zero.
