Accelerating Industrial Decarbonisation Through Clean Energy, Carbon Management & Emerging Technologies
How can protecting forests and other critical ecosystems complement industrial emissions reductions by safeguarding existing carbon stocks while delivering wider climate, biodiversity and community value?
What financing structures, risk-sharing mechanisms and market signals are needed to move capital-intensive industrial decarbonisation projects from corporate ambition towards bankable investment?
How does CCS fit within Japan's wider industrial decarbonisation strategy, and what policy, infrastructure and investment conditions will be required to move towards commercial deployment?
Drawing on Japan's emerging CCS projects, this session examines the practical journey from demonstration towards commercial-scale capture, transport and permanent storage.
Mr. Takeo Kissei, Manager, Strategy & Business Planning Group, Low Carbon Solutions Division
Inpex Corporation
Asia's CCS opportunity increasingly depends on connecting emissions sources with storage resources across borders. What infrastructure, regulation and partnerships are needed to make these regional value chains commercially viable?
Where can captured CO2 become a commercially useful feedstock, and which utilisation pathways offer credible opportunities alongside permanent geological storage?
What must change across cost, infrastructure, regulation, risk allocation and demand for CCS to progress from individual projects into a scalable decarbonisation solution for Japanese industry?
Co-Organised by
As AI accelerates electricity demand, how can Japan expand digital infrastructure while managing grid constraints, energy security, cost and increasingly ambitious decarbonisation requirements?
What clean-energy procurement options are realistically available to data-centre operators in Japan today, and how could the market progress towards more continuous, location-matched carbon-free electricity?
What coordination is needed between data-centre operators, utilities, grid stakeholders and clean-energy providers to support rapid digital growth without compromising reliability or decarbonisation?
How are more established data-centre markets addressing grid connections, clean-energy availability and the accelerating electricity requirements of AI infrastructure—and which lessons are relevant to Japan and Asia?
Clean electricity is central to data-centre decarbonisation, but it is not the whole solution. How should AI companies, hyperscalers and data-centre operators combine energy efficiency, clean-power procurement, infrastructure investment and high-integrity carbon removal into a credible net-zero strategy?
Navigating Carbon Compliance, Market Mechanisms & Corporate Climate Claims in a Multi-Market World
REGULATE: From Carbon Policy to Corporate Action
With Japan's carbon-pricing architecture entering a new phase, this session provides the strategic policy foundation for the day and examines how GX-ETS fits within Japan's wider GX and net-zero agenda.
Asia is developing a diverse patchwork of emissions trading systems, carbon taxes and emerging market mechanisms. What can governments and companies learn from the different approaches?
Moving beyond policy design, what will it take for Japan to develop an effective, credible and liquid carbon market?
As Japan's carbon-market architecture develops, Japanese companies face a growing range of carbon-credit mechanisms and procurement options. How should they understand their respective roles?
Article 6 is creating new pathways for international carbon cooperation, but translating frameworks into scalable projects and investment remains challenging. What is needed to turn policy architecture into functioning markets?
Mr. Masaaki Nagamura, General Manager International Initiatives
Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd.
Key takeaways from the morning and a short transition from regulatory architecture towards corporate participation, procurement and the evolving relationship between voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
Main Conference + Corporate Buyers Primer Forum
Bringing corporate buyers together with policymakers, carbon-market participants, project developers, investors, standards bodies and solution providers.
Complimentary Workshop for Japanese Corporate Buyers, Forum Speakers & Partners
A practical, buyer-focused forum designed to help Japanese companies understand where carbon credits and carbon removals fit within credible corporate net-zero strategies and how to build the internal capabilities required for future procurement.
Establish the foundations for corporate participation in carbon markets.
A corporate buyer shares the practical journey of developing and implementing its carbon-credit strategy.
Introduce corporate buyers to the changing role of carbon removals and explain how different forms of climate mitigation can complement one another.
Before purchasing carbon removals, companies need the internal structures to evaluate opportunities and make credible long-term commitments.
Move from organisational readiness into the mechanics of actual carbon-removal procurement.
Early corporate buyers share practical experience and candid lessons from entering the carbon-removal market.
Main Conference + Corporate Buyers Primer Forum
Bringing corporate buyers together with policymakers, carbon-market participants, project developers, investors, standards bodies and solution providers.
After several years of intense scrutiny and market reform, where does the voluntary carbon market stand, and what will drive its next phase?
As climate standards, disclosure requirements and market frameworks such as SBTi, CORSIA, VCMI and evolving carbon-credit guidance continue to reshape corporate climate strategies, how should organisations navigate this increasingly complex landscape? This session explores how companies can align climate commitments with credible carbon market participation, build robust procurement strategies, manage risk and communicate climate claims with confidence.
As companies invest in lower-carbon fuels, transport and materials, how can the additional cost of physical decarbonisation be shared across the value chain? This session examines how environmental attributes can capture, transfer and monetise decarbonisation value, connecting investments made in Japan with emerging corporate demand.
Mr. Mitch Kobayashi, Head of Corporate Sustainability Group
Yusen Logistics Global Management Co., Ltd.
Europe is establishing a regulatory framework specifically addressing certified carbon removals and carbon farming. Could this provide an early blueprint for how removals eventually interact with regulated carbon markets?
Where does Japan currently stand in carbon removal, and how can policy, corporate demand, technology, finance and international collaboration position the country within the emerging global CDR economy?
From Climate Commitments to Permanent Carbon Removal: Building the Next Generation of Carbon Markets
Setting the context for Day 3 and the emerging role of carbon removals within corporate net-zero strategies and global carbon markets.
Carbon removal is moving beyond pioneering purchases towards a broader market. What must happen across supply, demand, finance and policy for the sector to reach meaningful scale?
Why are companies beginning to buy carbon removals, how are procurement decisions being made, and what determines which pathways, suppliers and contract structures buyers are willing to support?
Where can Asia-Pacific deliver credible nature-based climate solutions at scale, and which ecosystems, markets and enabling conditions offer the strongest opportunities?
As corporate climate strategies evolve, how should avoided emissions, conservation, restoration and nature-based removals coexist within the future carbon market?
How can nature-based projects deliver value beyond carbon through biodiversity protection, community benefits, ecosystem resilience and wider nature-positive outcomes?
What constitutes a credible nature-based tonne, and how should buyers assess additionality, leakage, baselines, permanence and other integrity risks?
How can nature-based solutions be structured as an institutional asset class, using project finance mechanics that separate offtake from financing, build bankable capital stacks against long-term contracted revenue, and unlock the deeper pools of infrastructure and credit capital that today sit on the sidelines of carbon markets?
What role could mangroves, seagrass and other coastal ecosystems play within Asia's carbon and nature strategies, and what is required to develop credible blue-carbon markets?
How are companies evaluating nature-based solutions across geographies and project types while balancing integrity, climate impact, biodiversity and corporate objectives?
Where does durable CDR supply stand today, which pathways are progressing towards commercial deployment, and how could the global technology portfolio evolve towards 2030?
Mr. Tank Chen, Co-Founder - Head of Content and Community
CDR.fyi
How can biochar, BECCS and other biomass-based pathways move towards commercial scale while addressing feedstock economics, sustainability, infrastructure, MRV, bankability and Asia's potential role in supply?
What will bring down the cost of DAC, enhanced rock weathering and emerging CDR pathways, and where can technology innovation, deployment, MRV and early buyer demand accelerate the journey from first-of-a-kind to commercial scale?
Early corporate offtakes have helped launch the CDR market, but what financing structures, risk allocation and long-term demand signals are needed to turn promising technologies into bankable commercial projects?
Can a tonne of DAC, biochar, BECCS, ERW or other CDR genuinely be compared with another, and how should buyers evaluate differences in measurement, durability, permanence and delivery risk?
What physical infrastructure, financing, policy support and predictable buyer demand will be required to move durable carbon removal from today's emerging market towards gigatonne-scale deployment?
Nature-based and durable removals carry different risks, but buyers face the same fundamental challenge: how can insurance, contracts and risk allocation provide confidence that purchased removals will actually be delivered?
Bringing the three-day conference together, what must change across integrity, corporate demand, finance, policy and market infrastructure for nature-based and durable removals to scale, and where should Japan position itself within this emerging global market?
