What is AWD (Alternate Wetting and Drying)?

AWD stands for Alternate Wetting and Drying, a water management method for rice paddies that alternates between flooding and drying. This method reduces methane gas emissions and helps decrease overall emissions.

What effects were confirmed in this demonstration experiment?

When AWD was implemented after mid-season drainage, it showed a potential methane reduction effect of about 1.2 times compared to conventional mid-season drainage alone.

What is the J-Credit system?

The J-Credit system is a certification program where the government verifies credits for CO2 emission reductions achieved through energy-saving equipment and renewable energy use, as well as CO2 absorption through proper forest management.
