With COP25 being called Blue COP, there is a growing interest in blue carbon worldwide.
The city has decided to certify blue carbon as a credit that can be used for carbon offset by other local governments in order to raise awareness of blue carbon and revitalize activities in Japan, which will lead to further revitalization of the Yokohama Blue Carbon Project.
This time, “Absorption and fixation of greenhouse gases by Alame field at Tosoh Hyuga Co., Ltd. revetment area” (Alame scene product: 0.186 [ha], CO2 absorption / fixed amount: 0.5 [t-CO2])) Has been completed and certified as a credit.
Credit certification by application from Hyuga City is the first credit certification through blue carbon cooperation between local governments.
