Asian Gateway Launches FS Toward JCM Implementation of Rice-Husk Biochar in Cambodia Selected for METI’s Global South Future-Oriented Co-Creation Program; Grant Approval Received — In collaboration with Nippon Koei, Kansai Sangyo and ALCEDO, exploring an integrated AWD, biochar and dMRV model — In Battambang Province, the project will assess rice-husk biochar production and field application, together with JCM MRV. In coordination with a MAFF-selected AWD/dMRV FS, Asian Gateway will explore an integrated “AWD × Biochar × dMRV” model in the same paddy fields, aiming to improve agricultural productivity, reduce GHG emissions, enhance carbon storage, and generate carbon credits under applicable schemes and methodologies. Asian Gateway Corporation (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tomonori Kimura; “Asian Gateway”) announces that its proposed project, “Kingdom of Cambodia / Feasibility Study for the Production and Application of Rice-Husk Pyrolysis Biochar and Implementation of a JCM Biochar MRV Methodology,” was selected under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) FY2025 Supplementary Budget Global South Future-Oriented Co-Creation Project Subsidy (Small-Scale Demonstration / Feasibility Study Program). The project was selected on June 30, 2026 and received grant approval on September 18, 2026. The project is a feasibility study (FS) in Battambang Province, Kingdom of Cambodia, to assess the commercial implementation potential of an integrated value chain that converts rice husks generated by rice milling into biochar through pyrolysis, applies the biochar to farmland, implements MRV (measurement, reporting and verification), and prepares for potential JCM crediting. The FS will examine feedstock supply, pyrolysis technology, biochar quality, agronomic effects, MRV methodology applicability, alignment with international standards, regulatory requirements and business viability, thereby identifying the technical, economic and institutional requirements for the next demonstration and commercialization phase.

AG's La Gloria Biomass Power Plant Construction Project , a selected project under the JCM Equipment Subsidy Program, has been featured on CEnergy's website (URL below). Website: https://cenergyltd.com/proyecto-de-biomasa-la-gloria Youtube: https://youtu.be/AK0o8_JM6SM?si=vISdb6HS4QYRjvZF Project Overview Power generation capacity: 3.4 MW Total project cost (CAPEX): approximately USD 18 million One of the first projects of its kind in South America Primary fuel: agricultural residues such as rice husks Power generation method: ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) technology A project supported by the Japanese government's JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism) Project Objectives This project aims to generate renewable energy by utilizing agricultural waste (particularly rice husks)—which until now has been incinerated or discarded—as fuel. Through this, the project achieves: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions Effective use of agricultural waste Contribution to the local electricity supply Promotion of a circular economy Technical Features The La Gloria plant employs ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) technology. This technology offers the following advantages: Lower water consumption than conventional steam power generation Well-suited to small- and medium-scale biomass power generation Highly efficient thermal energy recovery Easy to operate even in drought-prone regions It is also expected to reduce air pollution caused by the open burning of agricultural residues. Relationship with the JCM The La Gloria project is one of Chile's flagship decarbonization projects supported by the Japanese government's JCM. In recognition of its contribution to CO₂ reduction, the project received subsidy support from the Japanese government.

Glossary

To help you better understand our business and the carbon credit market, this glossary provides clear explanations of a wide range of terms—from fundamental concepts such as climate change mitigation and GX (Green Transformation) strategies, to specialized terminology like the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM).
We invite you to use it as a reference when exploring our website or related materials.

  • JCM

    The Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) is a bilateral cooperation framework through which Japan introduces advanced decarbonization technologies and equipment to partner countries. The resulting greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions or removals achieved in those countries are quantitatively measured and can be used toward Japan’s own national emission reduction targets.

  • GX-League

    The GX League (Green Transformation League) is a framework initiated by the Japanese government to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. It brings together businesses, government agencies, and academic institutions to collaboratively promote decarbonization while simultaneously driving economic growth.

  • ICVCM

    The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) is an independent international organization established to ensure the credibility and integrity of the voluntary carbon market. Its mission is to guarantee that carbon credits used for greenhouse gas emission reductions are both effective and trustworthy.

  • ISSB

    The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is an organization that develops global standards for corporate sustainability disclosures.


    The ISSB establishes internationally consistent IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, enabling companies to transparently and comparably report on their environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) activities, risks, and opportunities.

    These standards aim to help investors and stakeholders better understand non-financial information and use it in their decision-making processes.

  • SSBJ

    The Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ) is an organization responsible for developing sustainability disclosure standards for companies in Japan.

    Established in July 2022, the SSBJ works to create Japan’s own standards while ensuring consistency and alignment with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
