CDR PRO
A database for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and carbon credits, offered as the paid tier of our specialist publication CarbonCredits.jp. It answers, from evidence, the questions "who is actually buying, from whom, and how much?" and "which supplier should we choose, and on what basis?"

Background
Why this database is needed
The evidence behind carbon credit procurement is scattered across overseas registries, English-language documents, and individual corporate disclosures, with no single place to check it across sources in Japanese.
This is especially true of the emerging CDR credits — direct air capture (DAC), biochar, mineralisation, enhanced weathering — where procurement by major global corporates is expanding rapidly as durable carbon removal, and where Japanese companies are beginning to look seriously in the context of GX policy and SBTi alignment. Practical information is harder to come by still.
CDR PRO independently collects and organises public information — registry transaction records, primary corporate disclosures. Emerging CDR credits, conventional credits (afforestation, forest management and the like), and the market as a whole can all be examined on the same screen, with the underlying populations kept distinct.

What's Inside
Five pillars
- 01
TransactionsWho is buying, from whom, and how much
Transaction analytics spanning more than 340,000 registry records, letting you read the market on a retirement (real demand) basis. Emerging CDR transactions can be filtered by removal pathway.
- 02
Supply-side assessmentComparing suppliers on their record
Assessment listings and individual profiles for carbon removal suppliers, centred on emerging CDR suppliers such as DAC and biochar. Compare across registration record, verified volume, and projects under development; save candidates to a shortlist for side-by-side comparison, notes, and CSV export.
- 03
Corporate disclosureGHG and offset disclosures in Japan and abroad, checked against primary sources
GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) and credit and certificate usage for Japanese companies and major international ones, verified against primary disclosures including securities reports and ESG data books, and recorded with the original quotation. Non-disclosure is recorded as a fact in its own right.
- 04
ReferenceVerifying the basis for quality and durability
The CDR methodology library shows how each methodology's eligibility conditions and reversal risks connect to its actual track record. Alongside it sit compliance carbon prices, a climate litigation database, and a library of standards in the original text, including ICVCM CCP and VCMI.
- 05
The Procurement PlaybookSo the database works even from a standing start
Its 28 chapters and 140 sections lay out, in Japanese, everything from fundamentals through planning, procurement, contracting, internal approval, and post-procurement management. With the groundwork in regulation, methodology and quality in place, the same figures and the same news start to mean something. It is included with membership.
