While there is a concentration of raw material extraction (necessary for ALK\ngreen hydrogen production) in the Global South, the ALK green hydrogen sector is\nconcentrated in the Global North. The inequitable access is plain and essential to enabling\nthe just energy transition.\nUsing a GVC perspective, the study complements existing life cycle assessments\n(LCA) by identifying broader environmental risks such as increased water footprint and\nreputational concerns. It presents risks across the GVC stages—ranging from nickel and\nzircon mining to ALK projects and nickel recycling—including water quality, pollution,\nand historical conflicts over water resources. Specific environmental impacts like water\nscarcity, biodiversity loss and deforestation, vary by stage and could be tackled as such.\nActors in the Global South, mostly nickel producers, who are the first tier of the GVC, are\nthe most exposed to acute climate risks such as tropical cyclones, landslides, flooding, and\ndrought, which urgently drive the need for climate adaptation measures.\nRecommendations include improved transparency (especially in the first GVC\nstages), community engagement, and enhanced water management which is tailored to\nregional needs. These strategies can support businesses in meeting new sustainability\nreporting standards and adapting to evolving value chains. Despite data gaps and\ninconsistencies in risk assessment tools (particularly indigenous and local community lands\nand water scarcity indicators), this study calls for a broader and inclusive approach to the\ngreen hydrogen economy."}]}],"dce:subject":[{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Green hydrogen"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Alkaline electrolyser"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Global value chain"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Nature-related risks"}]}],"dce:title":[{"@type":"bf:Title","bf:mainTitle":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Environmental risk assessment of alkaline electrolyser’s global value chain actors"}]}],"dcterms:created":["2024"],"dcterms:language":["eng"],"dcterms:type":[{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/pid.phaidra.org\/vocabulary\/69ZZ-2KGX"],"skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Text"},{"@language":"deu","@value":"Text"}]}],"ebucore:filename":["TISE_MT_Aymen Abbas.pdf"],"ebucore:hasMimeType":["application\/pdf","application\/pdf"],"edm:hasType":[{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/pid.phaidra.org\/vocabulary\/P2YP-BMND"],"skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Master theses"},{"@language":"deu","@value":"Masterarbeit"}]}],"edm:rights":["http:\/\/rightsstatements.org\/vocab\/InC\/1.0\/"],"role:advisor":[{"@type":"schema:Person","schema:affiliation":[{"@type":"schema:Organization","schema:name":[{"@value":"Poznań University of Economics and Business"}],"skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/ror.org\/0532c1x92"]}],"schema:familyName":[{"@value":"Ratajczak-Mrozek"}],"schema:givenName":[{"@value":"Milena"}],"skos:exactMatch":[{"@type":"ids:orcid","@value":"0000-0003-4432-5459"}]},{"@type":"schema:Person","schema:affiliation":[{"@type":"schema:Organization","schema:name":[{"@value":"Universität für Weiterbildung Krems"}],"skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/ror.org\/03ef4a036"]}],"schema:familyName":[{"@value":"Raddant"}],"schema:givenName":[{"@value":"Matthias"}],"skos:exactMatch":[{"@type":"ids:orcid","@value":"0000-0001-6157-7733"}]}],"role:aut":[{"@type":"schema:Person","schema:familyName":[{"@value":"Tokusato"}],"schema:givenName":[{"@value":"Elissa Mitsuko"}]}]}
