This initiative aims to build a mechanism that connects natural capital data to financial and business infrastructure by enhancing the transparency, traceability, and quantifiability of primary environmental data.
■ Environmental Changes Surrounding Natural Capital
In recent years, the importance of disclosing information related to "natural capital," including water resources, biodiversity, and circular resources, has increased due to the advancement of international disclosure frameworks such as ISSB, TNFD, and CSRD.
However, natural capital data generated from corporate activities remains fragmented, and mechanisms for connecting it to environmental finance and financial/business infrastructure in a scientifically verified, transparent, traceable, and third-party certified form are not yet sufficiently established.
Carbontribe Labs provides a data infrastructure for companies that allows natural capital data to be treated as "Institutional investor-grade data" by combining AI, methodologies, and primary environmental data.
■ Initiative with J-POWER
As part of the natural capital data utilization project with J-POWER, this initiative involves developing methodologies and conducting data demonstrations related to the Oil Palm Trunk (OPT) derived biomass fuel business, focusing on:
- Acquisition of primary environmental data
- Generation of third-party certified data using AI-integrated methodologies
- Enhancement of data transparency and traceability using blockchain technology
- Connection of environmental value data to financial and accounting systems
- Creation of third-party certified digital assets (ERC1155)
Specifically, they are exploring ways to improve the reliability of natural capital-derived data and its potential future use in business and financial domains, utilizing satellite data and computer vision.
Through this initiative, both companies aim to go beyond traditional environmental value assessment and develop natural capital-derived data into information usable for investment decisions and business value evaluation.
■ About Carbontribe Engine
Carbontribe Labs is currently developing and marketing "Carbontribe Engine," an API platform for generating and integrating environmental value data.
This service is a platform that enables the implementation of natural capital data infrastructure through AI-driven calculation and the generation of third-party certified data assets from environmental data generated by corporate activities.
Currently, Carbontribe Engine is being introduced for data related to water resources, biodiversity, and industrial waste, and joint business development is underway with major domestic and international companies, including J-POWER and NTT DOCOMO Business (formerly NTT Communications).

■ About Carbontribe Labs
Carbontribe Labs provides a data and API platform that uses AI, data science, and Web3 technologies to structure the environmental investments made by companies into third-party verifiable primary data. This allows environmental-related data to be connected to corporate internal systems as data usable for investment decisions and business value evaluation.
Furthermore, their proprietary methodology standard, "Carbontribe Standard," designed with AI-based environmental value calculation and blockchain-based data management, has been certified by Earthood, an international third-party certification body in the UK.
Data related to corporate environmental investments is automatically ingested from various infrastructures via API connection, and environmental value is automatically calculated through AI and third-party certification. Environmental data is converted into "digital assets usable for investment decisions." Environmental value data is stored on the blockchain.
Data managed within corporate infrastructure is connected via API and converted into third-party certified environmental value data, compatible with frameworks adopted by international financial institutions.
Carbontribe's AI and Web3-based methodology has obtained certification from the international third-party certification body, Earthood.
