Green Carbon Partners with Hokkaido Kyoso Partners to Launch 'Decarbonization Support Program for Dairy Manure Management'

Green Carbon Inc. (CEO: Jun Okita, hereinafter 'Green Carbon'), which develops and sells nature-based carbon credits, announced that it has partnered with Hokkaido Kyoso Partners Co., Ltd. (President: Shunichiro Iwasaki, hereinafter 'Hokkaido Kyoso Partners') to launch a support program promoting the decarbonization of manure management for dairy farmers.

This program aims to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the realization of sustainable dairy management by advancing manure management practices. By providing integrated support for the introduction of forced fermentation equipment, assistance in utilizing subsidies, and the generation of carbon credits, the program creates a mechanism for farmers to advance environmental initiatives while minimizing their financial burden.

In the dairy sector, methane and nitrous oxide emissions during the composting process of manure are significant challenges. Proper composting management using forced fermentation equipment can simultaneously achieve emission reductions and improve compost quality. However, equipment installation often involves high initial costs and complex subsidy application processes, which act as barriers.

Given this background, Green Carbon and Hokkaido Kyoso Partners will provide a program that supports everything from equipment installation to the creation of decarbonization value.

[Main Support Content] - Provision of information on subsidies for forced fermentation equipment and application support. - Support for formulating business and financial plans for equipment installation. - Visualization of greenhouse gas reductions through improved manure management. - Carbon credit generation under the J-Credit scheme applying 'Change in Livestock Waste Management Method (AG-002)'.

[Future Outlook] Green Carbon plans to promote the implementation of reduction methods such as advanced feed design and the introduction of methane-suppressing feed, looking ahead to the new J-Credit methodology 'AG-007' for reducing methane from the digestive process of cattle. Furthermore, by integrating with corporate supply chain emission reductions (insetting), the company is building a comprehensive and implementable methane reduction model in the livestock sector.
