The Natural Capital Credit Consortium (NCCC) of Japan has signed a MoU with AirCarbon Exchange (ACX) to further develop the country’s carbon ecosystem.
Professor Shunsuke Managi, Chair of the NCCC, said: “This MOU outlines our plans to establish a new trading scheme for carbon farming, blue ocean industries, and infrastructure within Japan and internationally. By developing a better understanding of how to mitigate emissions, we can establish a new mechanism for registering carbon credits. Furthermore, we plan to collaborate on carbon trading through the exchange in Singapore.”

NCCC is an organization that bring together all relevant stakeholders when it comes to carbon markets and credits – private companies, municipalities, and academic researchers. By aligning all of these parties, the alliance aims to create an efficient market that generates carbon credits of the highest quality and reliability.
Partnering with AirCarbon Exchange will allow companies from Japan to engage with the exchange’s international client orderbook. This will provide new avenues for buyers and sellers from within and outside of the country to trade carbon credits on a ready-made platform that has built-in transparency.
