Carbon EX Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors: Kohei Nishiwada, Shunsuke Takeda; hereinafter "the Company") has published the April 2026 issue of "Carbon EX Insights," a monthly information service regarding carbon credits and certificates.
This month's issue explains in detail the points to note regarding the non-fossil certificate auction to be held in May 2026, and the special measures for achieving the obligations under the Act on the Rational Use of Energy. In addition, given the current state of the domestic J-Credit market, where demand greatly exceeds supply, we report on the specific processes and future prospects for creating credits from the perspective of both the environment and business.
Summary of April 2026 Monthly Report (Excerpt)
- Latest domestic market trends
We explain that the Japanese government has indicated its policy to substantiate public and private investment in GX and key technologies, enhancing investment predictability, to strengthen energy security and rebuild industrial competitiveness. It also introduces new standards such as the prior submission of projects and clarification of the Japanese side's contribution in the JCM, promoting internationally reliable decarbonization projects.
- Voluntary credit market and price trends
We show that initiatives to guarantee credit quality are progressing within the framework of voluntary markets and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and the shift from quantity to quality is accelerating.
- Overseas certificate market and price trends
We explain that regional price fluctuations (volatility) tend to be high, and the changes in technologies preferred by consumers that lie behind this.
Summary of April 2026 Webinar Materials (Excerpt)
- Impact of Middle East conflicts on the carbon market
It mentions the possibility that if LNG supply falls short, companies and power companies will switch to highly emitting fuels such as coal, resulting in increased emissions and higher demand for carbon credits in the compliance market in the future.
- Latest market trends of non-fossil certificates and points to note for the May 2026 auction
We explain the special measures for "alternative procurement" in response to the tight supply and demand in the non-FIT market, and the procurement flow of the auction, which has a deadline of May 15.
- Potential for creating J-Credits and monetization process
In a market environment where overwhelming supply shortages continue, we provide specific examples of how the creation of renewable energy-derived credits can achieve both "internal reduction" and "external sales."
