NTT Communications leads to significant CO2 reduction in agriculture

Japan’s leading global provider of information and communications technology solutions, NTT Communications, is helping to reduce CO2 in agriculture.

Based on collaboration with Yanmar Holdings, this project is moving forward. It is well known for its agricultural equipment and facilities. The project aims to get advantageous carbon credits.

In Ono city of Fukui prefecture, paddy fields are spreading to produce rice. Methane gas is created in large quantities throughout the growth process, with the greenhouse effect being 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. NTT Communication provides a sensor named “MIHARAS” in the paddy field for the reduction of methane gas enabling it to get big carbon credit.
