Green carbon Press release: September 27, 2024 Green Carbon Co., Ltd. will take the stage at a workshop hosted by the Royal Irrigation Department of Thailand. Introducing the potential of 10 million ha of rice fields in Thailand Green Carbon Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Jun Ohkita, hereinafter referred to as “Green Carbon”) announced the launch of the Royal Irrigation Department of Thailand (Royal Irrigation Department) held in Bangkok, Thailand on Monday, September 16, 2024. We would like to inform you that we will be speaking at the Workshop on Climate Smart Agriculture for Alternative Wetting and Drying of Rice Cultivation in Thailand (hereinafter referred to as this event) hosted by RID. At this event, we introduced the creation of carbon credits using intermittent irrigation (AWD*1) in rice cultivation and the decarbonization potential of rice fields in Thailand.

conservation, rice paddies, mangrove planting, cow burp reduction, and biochar projects. Among these, we are mainly working on projects to reduce methane gas in rice fields using AWD, mainly in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Thailand. This time, we were invited to participate in this event in recognition of our knowledge and track record of creating carbon credits through AWD overseas. Since Thailand has the potential to create large-scale carbon credits, including 10 million hectares of rice field area, this event introduced the carbon credit market trends and rice field potential in Thailand, and deepened our collaboration with RID. . Going forward, we will further promote business development in Thailand and contribute to Thailand’s decarbonization efforts by creating carbon credits.

https://green-carbon.co.jp/tag/thailand/ *1: AWD (intermittent irrigation) Intermittent irrigation (AWD) is a method of repeating watering and natural drying every few days, using the water level in the rice field as a guide. In the case of intermittent irrigation (AWD), compared to continuous irrigation, water usage can be reduced and it also contributes to the conservation of water resources. ◆Green Carbon Co., Ltd. Representative: Representative Director Jun Ohkita Address: 5-2-33 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo IsaI AKASAKA607 Established: December 2019 Business details: Carbon credit creation and sales business, agriculture-related business, environment-related business, other related businesses and ESG consulting business URL:
https://green-carbon.co.jp/ ◆Green Carbon business introduction Green Carbon’s vision is to “save the earth with the power of life,” and we are developing a business that provides comprehensive support for carbon credit creation, registration, and sales. In addition, we are also engaged in agriculture-related businesses, research and development businesses, and ESG consulting businesses. Among these, our main project, the Carbon Credit Creation Project by reducing methane gas from rice fields, has acquired Japan’s first and largest J-Credit certification for rice fields (approximately 6,220 tons), and is expected to expand to approximately 50,000 ha in 2024. I’m planning on going. In addition, we provide “Agreen,” a service that completes credit registration, application, and sales on one platform, simplifying the procedures and document creation required for credit application registration, and reducing the man-hours of credit creators. We are reducing. 〇Introduction to the Royal Irrigation Department of Thailand The Royal Irrigation Department of Thailand was established in 1902 as a government agency responsible for managing Thailand’s water resources and designing and operating irrigation systems. We efficiently manage water resources across the country, primarily to improve agricultural productivity and prevent flooding. We are contributing to Thailand’s agricultural development by working with local farmers to improve irrigation technology and efficiently allocate water resources.
