Environmental and Socio-Economic Analysis of Naphtha Reforming Hydrogen Energy Using Input-Output Tables : A Case Study from Japan

Comprehensive risk assessment across multiple fields is required to assess the potential utility of hydrogen energy technology. In this research, we analyzed environmental and socio-economic effects during the entire life cycle of a hydrogen energy system using input-output tables. The target system included hydrogen production by naphtha reforming, transportation to hydrogen stations, and FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) refilling. The results indicated that 31%, 44%, and 9% of the production, employment, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission effects, respectively, during the manufacturing and construction stages were temporary. During the continuous operation and maintenance stages, these values were found to be 69%, 56%, and 91%, respectively. The effect of naphtha reforming was dominant in GHG emissions and the effect of electrical power input on the entire system was significant. Production and employment had notable effects in both the direct and indirect sectors, including manufacturing (pumps, compressors, and chemical machinery) and services (equipment maintenance and trade). This study used data to introduce a life cycle perspective to environmental and socio-economic analysis of hydrogen energy systems and the results will contribute to their comprehensive risk assessment in the future.


Introduction
We currently face significant environmental and energy problems.In particular, economic activity and greenhouse gas (GHG) production are strongly correlated [1].Current GHG emissions are expected to increase by one-third before 2040, based on current projections of economic development and population growth in the Middle East, India, China, Africa, and Southeast Asia [2].Hydrogen energy technology is expected to address this problem.In the latest Basic Energy Plan, the Japanese government expressed the need for comprehensive analysis of hydrogen energy technology from the perspectives of environmental safety, convenience, and economy throughout the entire supply chain, including production, transportation, and utilization of hydrogen [3].In addition, the Japanese government intends to employ hydrogen energy in transport, athletes' villages, and venues during the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020 [4].Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) have been available on the Japanese market since 2015.The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is aiming to build 35 hydrogen fueling stations by 2020 [5].
The triple bottom line viewpoint says that energy technology is an important element of a functioning society [6].International Organization for Standardization/ International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/ICE) Guide 73 [7] defines risk as the "effect of uncertainty on objectives", and effect as "deviation from the expected-positive and/or negative".In his social risk analysis for energy systems and social infrastructure, Branscomb [8] indicated 13 features-including agriculture,

Input-Output Analysis
Input-output analysis can comprehensively estimate direct and indirect effects caused by final demand.Balance of the input-output table is shown in Equation (1).Direct and indirect production X was estimated using Equation (2).Using the diagonal matrix of employment l, and GHG emissions ĝ, direct and indirect employment L and GHG emissions G were estimated using Equations ( 3) and (4), respectively: where A is the input coefficient matrix, I is the unit matrix, and f is the final demand column vector calculated using the detailed cost.The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications 2011 edition includes the latest version of the input-output table [39].However, the Japanese economics and energy systems were strongly affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and no information is available to estimate GHG emissions.Therefore, we used the input-output table of 2005 (520 × 407 sectors) [40], employment table [40], and 3EID (Embodied Energy and Emission Intensity Data for Japan) [41] for our calculations.We assumed that all production activities occurred in Japan because we focused on highlighting the direct and indirect effects of each sector in the hydrogen energy system.

Assumptions of the Hydrogen Energy System
Hydrogen production and transportation were included within the system boundary to comprehensively analyze environmental and socio-economic effects associated with the introduction of hydrogen fueling stations.For practical and economic purposes, hydrogen was produced by steam reforming of naphtha [42], and transported to eight hydrogen stations [23] as high-pressure gas, and used to fill FCVs (Figure 1 and Table 1).The lifetime of all hydrogen equipment was assumed to be ten years, with an equipment utilization rate of 0.8 [43].The hydrogen filling capacity of the hydrogen station during its life cycle was 9 450 t-H 2 .The sales price in Japan was estimated (USD equivalent was calculated using the exchange rate of 110.22 JPY per USD in 2005 [44]) at 1080 JPY/kg according to the author's field survey, and production cost was calculated as JPY 10 206 million, according to the Japan Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Demonstration Project (JHFC) [23] and Fuji [45] (Table 2).The overall cost balance was adjusted based on the added value of the original input-output table's closing sectors in 2005 (hydrogen production was from "petroleum refinery products, Inc. greases"; hydrogen transportation was from "road freight transport"; hydrogen fueling station was represented by "retail trade").These costs are projected for the period 2015 to 2020.where is the input coefficient matrix, is the unit matrix, and is the final demand column vector calculated using the detailed cost.The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications 2011 edition includes the latest version of the input-output table [39].However, the Japanese economics and energy systems were strongly affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and no information is available to estimate GHG emissions.Therefore, we used the input-output table of 2005 (520 × 407 sectors) [40], employment table [40], and 3EID (Embodied Energy and Emission Intensity Data for Japan) [41] for our calculations.We assumed that all production activities occurred in Japan because we focused on highlighting the direct and indirect effects of each sector in the hydrogen energy system.

Transportation routes included path from the production location to the eight hydrogen fueling stations.Transport distance was assumed to be 100 km per round trip, and eight round trips per day  This study considered the manufacturing, construction, operation, and maintenance stages.The manufacturing and construction costs of a hydrogen production facility established near the refinery, with a running time of 24 h per day, a production capacity of 1500 Nm 3 /h, and employing one person per year were estimated.The manufacturing and construction costs included: PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) equipment, hydrogen compressor, suction drum, off-gas compressor, other piping, installation, electrical equipment, civil engineering, construction, engineering, raw material and fuel naphtha, power, clean water, labor, repairs, insurance premiums, property tax, and overheads.In addition, the costs for raw material and fuel naphtha were assumed to be 45,900 JPY/kL, cost for power was 12 JPY/kWh, and cost for clean water was 300 JPY/t.Transportation routes included path from the production location to the eight hydrogen fueling stations.Transport distance was assumed to be 100 km per round trip, and eight round trips per day were undertaken for each station.Eight trailers and two tractors were used for transport.Each trailer consisted of 68 pieces of the CFRP (Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastics) container (45 MPa).Trailers were allocated as follows: eight trailers in detention, two trailers in transportation, and two trailers in filling.However, we assumed that only four tractors were produced within the life cycle, as the lifetime of each tractor is five years.In addition, we assumed that 2 km/L of light oil was required for transport, at a unit price of 120 JPY/L, and four laborers are used per year.
Hydrogen stations were assumed to be built at eight off-site locations, producing 300 Nm 3 /h, and operating 15 h every day.Manufacturing and construction costs included costs for the pressure accumulator (high pressure), compressor (filling), hydrogen dispenser, pre-cooler equipment, hydrogen valve, hydrogen sensors, civil engineering, construction, and engineering.In the operation and maintenance stages, costs of 2.98 kWh/kg-H 2 power requirement for equipment control, lighting power, and pre-cooler starting power/maintaining power/H 2 distribution were considered, in addition to regular maintenance costs.
The details of final demand (f) created from the above-mentioned prerequisite and the cost information are described in Appendix A.

Established New Sectors
Table 3 showed six new sectors in this study.Three new sectors related to hydrogen energy were established in the original input coefficient matrix to reflect the technical characteristics of hydrogen.These included hydrogen production, hydrogen transport, and the hydrogen fueling station.Input coefficients (A), employment coefficient ( l), and GHG emissions coefficient (ĝ) of the three sectors were estimated.GHG emissions caused by naphtha reforming and light oil combustion were quoted as 2.24 (As information on clear GHG emissions caused by naphtha reforming is not available, the value of naphtha combustion was substituted) and 2.58 t/kL of CO 2 , respectively [46].Additionally, production (X) during the manufacturing and construction stages was estimated by setting the final demand vector (f) in as much detail as possible, as the appropriate sectors appeared in the original input-output table.[47] 3EID (Embodied Energy and Emission Intensity Data for Japan) [41] Thermal Power Generation

Hydro and Geothermal
Power Generation The details of three new sectors related to hydrogen energy system (A) created from the above-mentioned prerequisite and the cost information are described in Appendix B.
A relatively large amount of electric power is input to the hydrogen energy system from the above cost information (Table 2).The grid mix of Japan has changed greatly since the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011.In 2015, nuclear power generation was 1%, thermal power was 89%, and others were 10%, while, in 2005, nuclear power was 31%, thermal power was 61%, and others were 9%.The differences in the grid mix between 2005 and 2015 might have a significant effect on the results [47]; therefore, the structures input into the grid mix of a given year are reflected in the input-output table.
Three new sectors related to power generation were established in the original input coefficient matrix to reflect the 2005 grid mix.The power generation sectors in the original basic input output table consisted of one row (total power generation) and three columns ("nuclear power generation", "thermal power generation", and "hydro and geothermal power generation").Therefore, all sectors of the input coefficient (A) were disaggregated to three sectors by the grid mix ratio in 2005 (Table 3).Employment coefficients were estimated using the original employment matrix [40] and number of employees of each type of power generation in 2005 [47].The GHG emissions coefficient was estimated by 3EID [41] and assumed that everything would discharge in thermal power generation.

Life Cycle Effects
The input-output analysis estimated the effect of production, employment, and GHG emissions per ton of the hydrogen energy system at JPY 2.64 million, 0.09 person per year, and 13.9 t-CO 2 eq., respectively (Figure 2).The ratios of the effects of production and employment in the manufacturing and construction stages were calculated as 31% and 44%, respectively, and are relatively higher compared to the operation and maintenance stages.Thus, about 30-40% of the production and employment effects associated with manufacturing and construction stages were temporary.However, 91% of the GHG emission effects were associated with operation and maintenance stages, which included 78% production, 3% transportation, and 10% hydrogen fueling stations.

Sectoral Effects
Sectoral effects of the hydrogen energy system are illustrated in Figure 3.The direct effect of hydrogen refill stations, hydrogen production, and hydrogen transportation ranked the highest.Indirect effect was attributed to various industries including energy production of naphtha (petroleum refinery products, including greases) and its material (coal mining, crude petroleum, and natural gas) in the operation and maintenance stages; engineering services (other business services), electricity, commercial (wholesale trade) during the entire life cycle; and manufacturing of pumps, compressors, and chemical machinery in the manufacturing and construction stages.
The effect of employment was the same as production, with the greatest effect from the hydrogen station.However, the effects of engineering services (other business services), commercial (wholesale trade and retail trade) and civil engineering and construction were greater than the direct effect of hydrogen production and hydrogen transportation.In addition, temporary effects of manufacturing were recorded owing to pumps, compressors, and chemical machinery.For example, this study assumed that there were two employers at a hydrogen station, based on published reports [18,45].However, our field survey revealed that two to five employees were always working.Furthermore, operation and maintenance of the hydrogen fueling station is often carried out by the same enterprise that maintains the gas station, indicating that a direct increase effect of employment owing to the hydrogen system is unlikely.However, different qualifications are required for hydrogen fueling stations and gas stations operation as specific laws concerning dangerous goods and high-pressure gas safety are applied.Therefore, it is desirable to interpret these numerical values in light of social and business conditions.The indirect effect of GHG emissions accounted for about 55% of the total during hydrogen production and 25% during electricity consumption.The former is due to naphtha reforming and could possibly be reduced by CO2 recovery and industrial use.The latter is attributed to the power required for the naphtha reforming refinery, hydrogen station compressor, and precooling equipment, which can be reduced by selection improved power generation technology.However, despite similar fuel combustion for thermal power, the effects for the hydrogen transportation sector are relatively small, and account for about 2% of the entire life cycle.This can be attributed to the large difference in consumption.While the amount of light fuel needed for transport is 0.4 kL/day, the amount of naphtha is 12.5 kL/day during hydrogen production.

Sensitivity Analysis Using Grid Mix Scenarios
When hydrogen is used in society, significant power is needed for compressing and cooling over the life cycle.In the transportation of high pressure hydrogen, the effect of this electric power also applies to hydrogen production as by-product of hydrogen and water electrolysis hydrogen.Japan's power supply composition in 2005 was influenced by thermal power generation, which contributed nearly 60%, while nuclear power contributed 30%.As the ratio of thermal power generation in 2015 rose to 90%, current production, employment, and GHG emissions from this sector may now be even larger [47].Therefore, sensitivity analysis was performed assuming three grid mixes (Table 4).The first (base) scenario was 31%, 60%, and 9% for nuclear, thermal, and hydrogen and geothermal, respectively.For the second scenario, the values were 16%, 74%, 9%, and, for the third scenario, the values were 1%, 89%, 10%, respectively.The first and third grid mix were assumed to be 2005 and 2015.The second was the average of the two.
For grid mixes of scenarios 2 and 3, GHG emissions per ton of the hydrogen energy system were found to be 14.6 and 15.3 t-CO2 eq.(Table 4).The grid mix of 2015 would discharge about 10% more GHG emissions than that of 2005.In scenarios 2 and 3, GHG emissions for the thermal power generation sector increased by +24% and +48%, respectively.In particular, the amounts of electric power used for hydrogen production and for the hydrogen fueling station would be significant,  Environmental and socio-economic effects due to fuel consumption by high-pressure hydrogen transport (tractor and lorries) are small throughout the life cycle, and it is unlikely that this result will change significantly in the near future.However, in the liquefied hydrogen and organic hydride methods, although the amount of hydrogen that can be transported increases, the trade-off between the total energy input and transportation mode needs to be studied.As these two methods have not currently been introduced in Japan, it is necessary to assess the economic effect, employment effect, and GHG emissions, along with safety and acceptability.

Figure 4 shows the results of sensitivity analysis for each scenario.The stages of hydrogen production and hydrogen fueling station account for 90% of the total increase, reflecting the differences in grid mix between 2005 and 2015.It should be noted that the stage of hydrogen production included 8.6 t-CO 2 eq.from naphtha reforming.Therefore, at the hydrogen production stage, the remaining 2.2, 2.5, 2.8 t-CO 2 eq.influenced the increased in thermal power generation.At the hydrogen fueling station stage, there is a possibility of a ~50% increase in GHG emissions due to the change in grid mixes.This is most influenced by stage-by-stage analysis among the four life cycle stages.Finally, the remaining ~10% of the total increase reflect the manufacturing and construction stage, which is affected relatively less than the previous two stages.regardless of the method of hydrogen production.On the other hand, production and employment had no major change in total in spite of the differences in the grid mixes.Figure 4 shows the results of sensitivity analysis for each scenario.The stages of hydrogen production and hydrogen fueling station account for 90% of the total increase, reflecting the differences in grid mix between 2005 and 2015.It should be noted that the stage of hydrogen production included 8.6 t-CO2 eq.from naphtha reforming.Therefore, at the hydrogen production stage, the remaining 2.2, 2.5, 2.8 t-CO2 eq.influenced the increased in thermal power generation.At the hydrogen fueling station stage, there is a possibility of a ~50% increase in GHG emissions due to the change in grid mixes.This is most influenced by stage-by-stage analysis among the four life cycle stages.Finally, the remaining ~10% of the total increase reflect the manufacturing and construction stage, which is affected relatively less than the previous two stages.

Conclusions
In this study, we analyzed the environmental and socio-economic effects of the hydrogen energy system during its life cycle from hydrogen production by naphtha reforming to refilling fuel cell cars.Currently, field-specific assessments highlight valuable information, but do not holistically assess effects of hydrogen energy systems.However, input-output analysis conducted in this study enables assessment of a range of effects in an objective manner using economic indicators, and contributes to the identification of potential risks in related sectors.The following were clarified.


Many of the socio-economic analyses of hydrogen energy systems are limited to direct cost calculations, which focus on manufacturing and construction stages.Our study reveals that the effect of production, employment, and GHG emissions during the operation and maintenance stages was also significant.Thus, this study highlights the contributions of different indicators

Conclusions
In this study, we analyzed the environmental and socio-economic effects of the hydrogen energy system during its life cycle from hydrogen production by naphtha reforming to refilling fuel cell cars.Currently, field-specific assessments highlight valuable information, but do not holistically assess effects of hydrogen energy systems.However, input-output analysis conducted in this study enables assessment of a range of effects in an objective manner using economic indicators, and contributes to the identification of potential risks in related sectors.The following were clarified.

•
Many of the socio-economic analyses of hydrogen energy systems are limited to direct cost calculations, which focus on manufacturing and construction stages.Our study reveals that the effect of production, employment, and GHG emissions during the operation and maintenance stages was also significant.Thus, this study highlights the contributions of different indicators change during the life cycle, confirming that a life cycle perspective using multiple indices is very important for hydrogen energy system analysis.

•
The socio-economic effect due to the introduction of the hydrogen energy system is influenced by direct effects of hydrogen production, hydrogen transportation, and hydrogen station, along with indirect effects of raw materials, electrical power, equipment maintenance, and commerce.Specifically, indirect effects of the service sector such as equipment maintenance and commerce among others are highlighted by the input-output table.

•
Most of the GHG emissions were discharged during hydrogen production indicating that low-carbon hydrogen production options such as renewable energy can significantly reduce emissions.Additionally, the amount of electricity required for compressor and pre-cooling devices is also significant, and similar active use of low-carbon power generation systems including renewable energy can contribute to a more decarbonized society.The results of the sensitivity analysis also indicate that life cycle of GHG emissions are influenced by changes in the grid mix.However, since low-carbon power generation technology generally tends to be expensive, it is necessary to analyze the trade-off between the expected-positive (GHG emission reduction) and the expected-negative (its cost, stable supply and security, etc.).
This research undertakes the first steps in life-cycle based environmental and socio-economic effect analysis using collected information, and contributes to comprehensive risk assessment of hydrogen energy systems in the future.We propose to develop the following in the future:

•
In this study, data regarding hydrogen production using naphtha reforming and high-pressured transportation were employed.However, there are several types of production, including by-product hydrogen and water electrolysis using renewable energy among others.In addition, different types of hydrogen transport are employed for liquefied and organic hydride systems.Future research should address multiple production and transportation methods.

•
The input-output table employed in this study assumed the setup to include three sectors: hydrogen production, hydrogen transportation, and hydrogen station.However, future studies should address other factors while accounting for the demand and supply of hydrogen energy.

•
All hydrogen energy systems discussed in this research are expressed in terms of 2020 prices as hydrogen energy systems are currently in the initial stage of introduction.Therefore, it is necessary to investigate additional changes in the future, such as price changes and subsidies.
