Climate Asset Developer, Bywill Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Yuichiro Shimomura, hereinafter 'Bywill'), which aims for a 'world where people want to do GX (Green Transformation)' and promotes economic circulation utilizing environmental value, announces that its cumulative partnerships with local governments nationwide to realize carbon neutrality and other goals have exceeded 100.
Moving forward, we will continue to further strengthen our partnerships with local governments and regional financial institutions across the country, and as a Climate Asset Developer, contribute to the creation of environmental assets.
[Background of Surpassing 100 Partnerships and History to Date]
Bywill has been signing comprehensive partnership agreements with local governments across the country to promote initiatives aimed at realizing a decarbonized society.
We convert the CO2 emission reductions and absorptions generated by the rich natural resources of the region (such as forest resources) and the introduction of energy-saving equipment and renewable energy into environmental value such as 'J-Credits'. By building a 'local production for local consumption' model that returns this to local companies, we are realizing the recirculation of funds to the regional economy (regional revitalization), going beyond mere environmental conservation.
In addition to supporting the creation of J-Credits, we are deploying a variety of decarbonization solutions tailored to regional issues and characteristics, such as support for utilizing corporate hometown tax donations and supporting energy transitions in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, we have been deeply involved not only with individual municipalities but also in the promotion and social implementation of broad decarbonization policies at the prefectural level.
Recently, the circle of partnerships with local governments who sympathize with our vision and execution capabilities as a Climate Asset Developer has expanded further, leading us to surpass the major milestone of '100 cases'.
Bywill provides end-to-end support from the 'creation' of complex environmental value (like J-Credits) to the 'sale' to companies, realizing a 'regional economic circulation' where money circulates locally.
Specifically, there are three major benefits (reasons for partnership) for local governments:
1) Resolving the Lack of Specialized Knowledge and Resources (Thorough Accompaniment Support for Tedious Procedures)
Many local governments declare themselves 'Zero Carbon Cities' and have potential such as rich forests and renewable energy, but in reality, they have not reached the means to monetize and utilize them as 'J-Credits'. Even if they try to tackle it, application and registration require complex procedures, specialized knowledge, and significant manpower. Because Bywill comprehensively supports and assists with these complicated 'creation processes', local governments can generate environmental value while minimizing the burden on their staff.
2) Guaranteed Monetization Instead of 'Create and Forget' (Strong Sales Network)
J-Credits do not end with creation; they only become 'economic value' when matched with purchasing companies. Bywill has a strong network with companies (consumers) nationwide that are advancing decarbonization. By partnering with Bywill, local governments can avoid the 'risk of unsold' credits and reliably convert regional environmental value into funds.
3) Revitalization of the Local Economy through 'Local Production and Consumption of Environmental Value'
What Bywill emphasizes most is the 'local production and consumption of environmental value', having local environmental value purchased by local companies or companies with ties to the area. The revenue obtained from selling credits is returned to the region again, driving further initiatives.
Moving forward, we will continue to further strengthen our partnerships with local governments and regional financial institutions across the country, and as a Climate Asset Developer, contribute to the creation of environmental assets.
