Webinar on the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Implementation in Thailand 2021 – Innovation for Carbon Neutrality through JCM –

*Registration closed

Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ) and the Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) in collaboration with Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand and Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) will jointly organize “Webinar on the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM*1) Implementation in Thailand – Innovation for Carbon Neutrality through JCM -” on Monday, September 27th, 2021.

Government of Japan is promoting dissemination of advanced  decarbonizing technologies through the Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects*2. The webinar will be participated by government officials and business leaders from both countries, and it aims at sharing overview and progress of JCM and facilitating project development and scaling up those future projects.

Furthermore, as countries around the world aim to be carbon-neutral, innovation is the key to realizing a decarbonized society, in addition to thorough energy conservation and the introduction of renewable energy.

This webinar will introduce “Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects”, “Financing Programme to Demonstrate Decarbonization Technology for Realizing Co-Innovation”*3 and “Pilot Project for Comprehensive Support throughout the Whole Hydrogen Supply Chain Abroad”*4 started this fiscal year as well as good examples of each project. Through these, the path to a post-corona decarbonized society in Thailand will be explored.

Related to the webinar, individual meetings will be arranged between registrants of the webinar. Reservation is available through a match-making online platform “JCM Global Match”. Also, TGO and GEC will have individual consultation with companies considering applying for JCM Financing Programme.

　*2　In order to support the implementation of candidate JCM projects, Ministry of the Environment, Japan has launched the “JCM Model Projects”.
　　　The purpose of this model project is to financially support the implementation of projects which reduce GHG emissions by utilizing leading
　　　decarbonizing technologies in developing countries, and in return seeks to acquire JCM credits for achievement of Japan’s GHG emission
　　　reduction target.

　*3　“Financing Programme to Demonstrate Decarbonization Technology for Realizing Co-Innovation” aims to create innovation beneficial for both
　　　Japan and developing countries through collaboration (co-innovation). The purpose of this financing program is creating a zero-carbon
　　　society through renovation and dissemination of high quality decarbonizing technologies and products, which are some of Japan’s strength,
　　　by means of systemization and packaging of multiple technologies, and by encouraging uptake of such technologies, in addition to bringing
　　　benefits to the technology developers in Japan as a result.
