【簽署日期】
2026年2月19日（星期四）
【協定內容】
雙方為促進地區實現碳中和與循環經濟，將在以下事項上進行合作：
（１）提供與環境價值相關的資訊、服務、技術訣竅等
（２）創設利用環境價值的新商業模式
（３）其他經雙方認為有助於本協定目的的事項
【簽署背景】
蟹江町於 2025 年 3 月制定了「第三次蟹江町地球暖化對策執行計畫（行政業務篇）」，該計畫明確了截至 2030 年度蟹江町行政業務的暖化對策。為實現此目標，町內正推動公共設施用電量減少及公務車輛電動化等措施。
此次為推動 J-Credit 的創設與利用，這對蟹江町而言是一項新嘗試，因此達成了本次合作協定。

【未來展望】
為實現蟹江町的脫碳化，雙方將合作推動 J-Credit 的創設與流通。關於 J-Credit 的創設方法（方法論），初步考慮從導入 LED 設備開始，之後再擴展至其他方法論的創設。
ByWill 將為蟹江町的 J-Credit 創設專案提供從註冊申請、監測到已創設額度的銷售等無縫支援。此外，在銷售方面，將透過「在地生產在地消費」來促進蟹江町及周邊地區的脫碳化。

What are J-Credits?
J-Credits are a system certified by the government where reductions or absorptions of greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, achieved through decarbonization activities by businesses (e.g., introducing energy-saving equipment, using renewable energy) are recognized as 'credits.' These credits can be sold to other companies for carbon offsets.
What specific initiatives will Kanie Town and ByWill undertake?
They will cooperate on providing information, services, and know-how related to environmental value, creating new business models utilizing environmental value, and other related matters. Initially, they plan to focus on creating J-Credits through the introduction of LED equipment.
What is the background for this agreement?
Kanie Town has established an environmental plan aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030. To achieve this, they are implementing measures like reducing energy consumption in public facilities and transitioning to electric vehicles. This agreement is a new initiative to promote the creation and utilization of J-Credits.
How will ByWill support Kanie Town?
ByWill will provide seamless support for Kanie Town's J-Credit creation projects, from registration and application to monitoring and selling the credits. They also aim to promote local decarbonization through 'local production for local consumption' of these credits.
