◆Background of COP30 Participation
Green Carbon has been developing nature-based carbon credit projects primarily in Southeast Asia, including forest conservation, rice paddies, mangrove planting, enteric methane reduction from cattle, and biochar initiatives. By leveraging satellite data for site selection and monitoring, the company ensures efficient and transparent project implementation.
At COP29, Green Carbon participated in a Japan Pavilion seminar hosted by JAXA, presenting case studies on the use of satellite data for carbon credit creation.
This year, Green Carbon was invited by MAFF to participate in COP30 as a member of the “MIDORI Decarbonization Overseas Expansion Consortium,” recognizing its strong alignment with the MIDORI∞INFINITY initiative and its extensive track record in large-scale agriculture-based carbon credit generation across Southeast Asia.
During COP30, the company will showcase its latest efforts, including a Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) project in the Philippines, updates on local demand-side developments, and the architecture and implementation status of its one-stop carbon credit platform service, “Agreen.”
