Fujitsu and IHI launch joint blockchain project to further develop environmental value exchange market
Participated in Ministry of the Environment's J-Credit "J-Credit Easy Generation" project as a partner
TOKYO, Jul 06, 2023 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu and IHI Corporation today announced progress in a joint project initiated in FY 2022 to contribute to carbon neutrality and to create an environmental value distribution platform that supports environmental value transactions. In June 2023, the two companies began working on a "J-Credit Easy Generation" by simplifying the environmental value creation process (Collection, verification, and reporting of data such as CO2 emissions) in preparation for the issuance of J-Credit(1).

As part of this initiative, the two companies applied for and were selected by Japan's Ministry of the Environment as collaborators engaged in a project for the "Outsourcing of Research and Development towards Digital Technology Utilization in FY 2023 J-Credit System." Work on the project will commence from June 2023 and conclude in March 2024.
Moving forward, the two companies plan to start providing the "J-Credit Easy Generation" as a module of the environmental value distribution platform in fiscal 2024.
Overview of Joint Project
Since fiscal 2022, IHI and Fujitsu have been carrying out a joint project to create an environmental value distribution platform, which converts CO2 emissions reductions calculated using data collected at IHI's IoT platform "ILIPS(IHI group Lifecycle Partner System)"(2) into tokens(3) that can be distributed on the environmental value exchange market using Fujitsu's "ConnectionChain" blockchain technology (4), which securely interconnects different blockchains.
By adding J-Credit?s ?J-Credit Easy Generation? to the environmental value distribution platform, companies and organizations that contribute to the environment through measures like reducing CO2 emissions will be able to easily convert environmental value into J-Credits. At the same time, by promoting the application of digital technology to J-Credit transactions, Fujitsu aims to build a sustainable value chain model that enables buyers to smoothly trade the environmental value created by the environmental value creators as J-Credits.
The two companies will contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality by expanding their businesses to tackle the digital verification of the value generated by environmental measures that address issues like product carbon footprint, starting with J-Credit's " J-Credit Easy Generation."
Overview of Ministry of the Environment's J-Credit "J-Credit Easy Generation" Demonstration Project (Public Offering Overview)
The purpose of this project is to consider the simplification of the process from monitoring to issuing J-Credits by utilizing IoT and blockchain technology using the "Introduction of Photovoltaic Power Generation Facilities (EN-R-002)" methodology. The demonstration will be conducted in the following three phases.
1. From June 2023 to August 2023: Planning and discussion points for the demonstration
