About the Joint Crediting Mechanism(JCM)
• Facilitating diffusion of leading low carbon technologies, products, systems, services, and infrastructure
as well as implementation of mitigation actions, and contributing to sustainable development of
developing countries.
• Appropriately evaluating contributions to GHG emission reductions or removals from Japan in a
quantitative manner, by applying measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) methodologies, and use
them to achieve Japan’s emission reduction target.
• Contributing to the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC by facilitating global actions for GHG emission
reductions or removals, complementing the CDM.

•
“Pennisetum purpureum”
originated from Africa
•
Rapid growth biomass that can
be harvested 40-50 tons/ha/year
(5-8 times crops per year)
•
High methane yield capacity per
area
©2013 AMITA GROUP
Outcome of the system
• GHG reduction
• Proper disposal and
reduction of solid waste and
sewage sludge
Potentially, more than 50%
of waste and most of the
sewage sludge can be
converted to energy !!
• Raise the degree of
self-sufficiency of
energy and resource
- Heat / Electricity / Gas
- Liquid fertilizer
>> promotion of
organic agriculture
• Prolong the lifetime of landfill

Goal of our project
Creating a resource circulation
system in Palau
as a “low carbon island model”
To conserve the precious natural
environment for the sustainable
development of PALAU.
