JKAP - Japan Kyoto Mechanisms Acceleration Programme
Project Implementation
Among the various stages of Kyoto Mechanisms Projects, the project implementation is the most crucial part, and therefore, JKAP actively supports project stakeholders. The following schemes have drawn attention as measures to reduce a financial gap being faced by stakeholders.
Upfront Payment
A number of promising CDM/JI projects in EIT and developing countries have stalled due to financial difficulties. Financing such projects is key to lead success of the Kyoto Mechanisms. Japan's financial assistance scheme UPFRONT PAYMENT, could offer a solution.

[JCF]
Japan Carbon Finance, Ltd. (JCF) purchases CERs, ERUs (ERs) and other credits on an upfront payment or pay-on-delivery basis. As well as purchasing credits, JCF would further promote CDM/JI and other GHG emission reduction projects by bearing early-stage costs, such as those for validation and PDD preparation, and by extending necessary advice and assistance.
JCF receives Project Information Notes (PINs) at any time. Please don't hesitate to contact us by e-mail (jcf@jcarbon.co.jp) or through our website.
