(Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jun Okita; "Green Carbon") are pleased to announce the signing of a Capital and Business Alliance Agreement. Through this partnership, the two companies will leverage their respective strengths to foster collaboration, accelerate growth in the carbon credit domain, and contribute to addressing global sustainability challenges.
Since 2024, SKY Perfect JSAT has established an investment fund of approximately 10 billion yen for domestic and international space-related startups.

Green Carbon is a startup that develops and distributes nature-based carbon credits, primarily in Southeast Asia, playing an important role in the rapidly evolving global carbon credit ecosystem. These credits certify greenhouse gas absorption and emission reductions and are gaining traction as a vital tool for achieving net zero*. As regulatory frameworks of an emissions trading system and carbon credit market advance in Japan, corporate adoption continues to grow.
Accurate measurement and analysis are essential to ensuring the integrity and value of carbon credits. SKY Perfect JSAT excels in providing satellite data with high-precision analysis, and through solutions utilizing this data, will work together with Green Carbon to ensure the credibility and transparency of carbon credit transactions.
SKY Perfect JSAT offers eco-conscious services with minimal CO₂ emissions, leveraging solar energy to operate its satellites. The company is also working toward carbon neutrality across its group businesses by the end of fiscal 2025, while contributing to broader decarbonization efforts on a global scale.
Green Carbon, meanwhile, is dedicated to creating tangible and diverse benefits for local communities through its carbon credit activities—not only advancing decarbonization but also promoting smart agriculture and improving the livelihoods of agricultural workers.
Together, SKY Perfect JSAT and Green Carbon aim to generate synergies across environmental, social, and economic dimensions, expand their presence in both the space and carbon credit sectors, and co-create new value for a more sustainable future.
* Net zero: A state where greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by the amount absorbed or removed.
