Japan's Innovative New Service for J-Credits

Kaguoku Co., Ltd., based in Bunkyo, Tokyo, has officially announced the launch of its J-Credit Purchase Center, starting from August 29, 2025. This groundbreaking service marks Japan's very first direct purchase model for J-Credits, aiming to simplify the process for businesses involved in carbon offsetting and environmental responsibility.

What are J-Credits?

J-Credits are a certification system recognized by the Japanese government that quantifies the amount of greenhouse gases reduced or absorbed through various decarbonization activities, including the implementation of energy-saving equipment and the utilization of renewable energy sources. These credits can be sold to other companies, allowing purchasers to apply these credits toward carbon offset initiatives.

Understanding the J-Credit Purchase Center

Aiming to enhance price transparency and liquidity in the J-Credit market, Kaguoku Co., Ltd. began its dealership process based on previous inquiries from a corporate client. As they delved deeper into the market dynamics, they discovered several challenges that many J-Credit creators faced. Feedback indicated a widespread lack of understanding regarding selling options and pricing, particularly from smaller credit holders who often left their credits untapped.

Traditionally, J-Credit providers operated on an intermediation basis, where credits were difficult to sell until a buyer was secured—often leaving these providers with little incentive to take on inventory risks. In response, Kaguoku has developed a pioneering direct purchase model that meets the compliance standards required by corporations and allows them to purchase credits directly. This model has facilitated a seamless process from price presentation to contract signing and final payment, proving its efficiency by achieving a total purchase volume of 30,000 tons of CO₂ (approximately 2 billion yen) within six months.

Key Features of the J-Credit Purchase Center

1. Real-Time Pricing Display and Instant Assessment: The purchasing platform continuously displays reference prices for different categories of credits per ton of CO₂, providing both transparency and rapid results. Within an average of three business days of submission, potential sellers receive formal assessment amounts.

2. Fully Online Process with Electronic Contracts: The entire transaction—from the sales contract to wallet transfer and payment confirmation—is conducted without in-person interaction. If electronic signatures pose a challenge, traditional postal methods are also accommodated.

3. Zero Fees and Timely Payments: After receiving the credits, Kaguoku commits to transferring the purchase amount in full within one month. There are no intermediary fees or hidden costs involved.

Purchase Achievements

Kaguoku has successfully accumulated 2 billion yen and purchased 30,000 tons of CO₂ from various clients, including:

• - General Trading Companies: Bulk purchases of multiple categories of credits.
• - Workplace Solution Companies: Sourcing a total of 10,000 tons of CO₂ over six months.
• - Major E-commerce Platforms: Purchasing 30 tons of previously unused credits.
• - Local Governments: Acquiring 400 tons of credits derived from local initiatives.

Future Developments

Looking ahead, Kaguoku plans to begin offering J-Credit procurement services at competitive rates in the second half of 2025.
