Registration of "Olive Zero Carbon Project" Promoted by 114 Bank, Kan-onji Shinkin Bank, and Bywill as a J-Credit Creation Project Completed
Bywill, in collaboration with 114 Bank and Kan-onji Shinkin Bank, announced the successful registration of the "Olive Zero Carbon Project." The initiative aggregates CO2 reduction from solar power installations of SMEs in Kagawa Prefecture to create J-Credits, aiming to establish a regional circular model for decarbonization and economic growth.

Bywill Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuichiro Shimomura; hereinafter "Bywill"), which promotes the "Olive Zero Carbon Project" in collaboration with The 114 Bank, Ltd. (Headquarters: Takamatsu City; President: Masafumi Mori; hereinafter "114 Bank") and Kan-onji Shinkin Bank (Headquarters: Kanonji City; Chairman: Koji Kobayashi), is pleased to announce that the project registration has been officially completed at the 68th Certification Committee of the J-Credit Scheme.
This project aims to aggregate the CO2 emission reduction effects of solar power generation equipment introduced by companies within the region and convert them into J-Credits (monetization of environmental value).
*1: J-Credit is a system in which the Japanese government certifies the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, reduced or removed through the introduction of energy-saving equipment or the use of renewable energy. Certified credits can be sold to other companies and used for carbon offsetting.
[Overview of the Registered Project]
The "Olive Zero Carbon Project" is an initiative to aggregate CO2 reduction amounts from solar power generation of SMEs, for whom the procedural burden of individual application is significant, and to efficiently apply for certification as J-Credits (environmental value).
[Background and Purpose]
To strongly promote zero-carbonization throughout Kagawa Prefecture, the decarbonization of not only large corporations but also the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that support the regional economy is essential. However, in many companies, the environmental value (CO2 reduction effect) from already installed solar power equipment has often remained buried and unused due to the complexity of procedures.
Therefore, regional financial institutions 114 Bank and Kan-onji Shinkin Bank teamed up with Bywill, a "Climate Asset Developer." Using the strong customer networks of these financial institutions as a pivot, they have established a comprehensive support system to unearth previously overlooked renewable energy values and transform them into "assets" that generate revenue as J-Credits.
[Future Developments]
Starting with this project registration, the "actual cases" of pioneering companies and their "introduction effects (such as the return of credit sale profits)" will be widely disseminated through the financial institutions' networks and various media. We aim to establish a "regional circular model" in Kagawa Prefecture through the following two steps:
First, as the first stage, we will visualize the "actual cases" and "introduction effects" of pioneering companies and widely disseminate them through financial institution networks.
Based on those results, in the second stage, we will spread the initiative to companies throughout the prefecture. By establishing a system where the decarbonization activities of each and every SME are properly evaluated and returned as revenue, we will build a model in which the regional economy and decarbonization grow in tandem.
