DeCarbon Tokyo 2026 will gather over 400 decision-makers in Tokyo from December 1-3, 2026, to discuss Japan's carbon transition. The event covers three themes: REDUCE (industrial decarbonization and energy transition), REGULATE (carbon markets and compliance including GX-ETS and Article 6), and REMOVE (carbon removals and nature-based solutions). Key participants include Tokyo Gas, INPEX, Verra, and the Japan CDR Coalition, with a focus on helping Japanese companies procure carbon credits and removals. The conference aims to connect international project developers and technology providers with Japanese corporate buyers. It includes tracks on data center decarbonization, CCS, green steel, and durable carbon removal methods like biochar and direct air capture. A dedicated forum for Japanese companies will cover procurement strategy, MRV, and contracting, signaling a push to scale carbon credit demand in Japan. For anyone tracking Asia's carbon market development or seeking entry into Japan's decarbonization economy, this event offers a concrete look at how policy, finance, and technology are converging in the region.
