Green Carbon launches methane reduction project in Philippines rice paddies

Japan-based Green Carbon Inc. has launched a pilot project in Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines, aiming to generate approximately 1 million tons of carbon credits over the next decade by utilizing 30,000 hectares of rice paddies. The project employs the JCM methodology for methane emission reduction through Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), reducing methane emissions from rice paddies. This pilot started in January 2025, with expectations of scaling up carbon credit generation in the future.
