Green Carbon is actively engaged in creating nature-based carbon credits across Southeast Asia, with projects including forest conservation, rice paddy management, mangrove reforestation, methane reduction from livestock, and biochar initiatives.
The company’s participation in the conference stems from its recognition and evaluation by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry for its work in carbon credit generation and Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) initiatives. This led to an invitation to join the conference.
At the Conference, Green Carbon was a panellist in the fourth session focused on the Green Economy/ESG and addressing future technological and geopolitical challenges such as food security, alternative fuel sources, renewable energy, and supply chain shortages. Green Carbon presented the decarbonization potential of Malaysia’s natural areas and the utilization of carbon credits.

◆Introduction of Green Carbon
Green Carbon operates with the vision of “Saving the Earth with the Power of Life,” providing comprehensive support from carbon credit creation, and registration, to sales. Additionally, we are involved in agriculture-related businesses, research and development, and ESG consulting, among others. Our main focus is on the creation of carbon credits through methane gas reduction in rice paddies, where we have obtained certification for J-Credits, the first and largest in Japan (approximately 6,220 tons), and plan to expand to around 50,000 hectares in the fiscal year 2024. We also offer a service called “Agreen” that integrates credit registration, application, and sales into one platform, simplifying procedures such as application registration and document preparation, thus reducing the workload for credit creators.
