Technology / Service Summary

Through JCM projects involving financial institutions, agricultural facilities will be installed at a low cost to local farmers to improve agricultural productivity and reduce GHG emissions.

Purpose

For farmers who need to invest in facilities to improve productivity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we will enable them to install facilities at low cost by transferring the amount of reduction as a carbon credit project.
Specifically, as a carbon credit project, we will install low-cost irrigation equipment in rice paddies to reduce methane and increase yields through two-phase cropping.

Feature

・The largest achievement of J-crejits in rice paddies in Japan
・Tools that enable farmer-friendly operations through the use of systems and IoT
→Enables the elimination of as much non-farm labor as possible, and can be adopted by many farmers.
・Quality management to maximize farmers' profits and credit reliability.
→Our system and governance enable the creation of high quality credits and maximize the return of profits to farmers.

Effect

By implementing this initiative, methane emissions can be reduced by 30 - 50% through methane reduction efforts using water management technology in rice paddies.
In addition to this, farmers can install irrigation facilities in their rice paddies at a low burden, and expect to increase yield and income through two/three cropping seasons.
