Fukushima town launches rice-based carbon credit project under Japan’s J-Credit scheme
Local farmers will extend paddy drainage and adopt low-emission methods to generate government-certified J-Credits, creating a new revenue stream from climate-friendly rice cultivation.
Scheme will cover up to 400 major emitters and set a floor and ceiling on CO2 prices ahead of 2027 market launch.
The government proposed allowing steel, cement and other export-exposed sectors to cut chargeable emissions by up to 80 per cent as carbon pricing begins in 2026. Experts warned this could undermine decarbonisation investments.
