Joint Crediting Mechanism

Joint Crediting Mechanism
We support clients applying for Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM).
The objective of the JCM is to reduce GHG emissions through diffusion of Japanese low carbon technologies and products. Involvement in this mechanism will contribute to: (1) Facilitate diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products, systems, services and infrastructure as well as implementation of mitigation actions, and contributing to sustainable development of developing countries; (2) Appropriately evaluate contributions from Japan to GHG emission reductions or removals in a quantitative manner, and achieve Japan’s emission reduction target; (3) Facilitate global actions for GHG emission reductions or removals for the ultimate objective of UNFCCC If you are considering expanding your business into the following countries, you may be able to use the “Joint Crediting Mechanism” and can obtain funding provided by public institutions such as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of the Environment. Please consult us whether your overseas expansion plans are qualified for the application for “Joint Crediting Mechanism”.
If you are considering expanding your business into the following countries, you may be able to use the “Joint Crediting Mechanism” and can obtain funding for installations and of survey the public institutions such as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of the Environment. Please consult with us whether your overseas expansion plans are applicable to the “Joint Crediting Mechanism”.

Overview of the Joint Crediting Mechanism
The use of the Joint Crediting Mechanism may provide the following benefits:
- Contribute to the overseas expansion of your excellent low-carbon technologies and products
-
- Export of your company’s excellent low-carbon technologies and products to partner countries (developing countries) will benefit them with quality technologies and products.
- Promote overseas deployment of your technology and products by spreading excellent low-carbon technologies and products to neighboring countries
- CO2 reduction can be counted as in-house CO2 reduction
-
- The CO2 amount reduced by low-carbon technologies and products introduced in partner countries can be counted as in-house CO2 reduction
- If there is a surplus, you can buy and sell as credit
-
- The surplus in emission reduction can be sold as “credit”
JCM partner countries
As of October 2017, JCM has 17 partner countries. In addition, as of January 2018, JCM has 123 projects. For more information, please visit THE JOINT CREDITING MECHANISM and the Carbon Market Express website.

Our offer on the JCM
Projects related to the JCM are outsourced as a survey work by the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. We support the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s “Infrastructure development research project for joint credit acquisition (international contribution quantification and JCM feasibility study) “, and the Ministry of the Environment’s joint crediting mechanism (JCM) fund support project and support for infrastructure development (project assistance) (commonly known as JCM equipment assistance).
If you would like to be supported in other projects, please contact us.
