Strategic GX-ETS Solutions for Large Emitters

2026/01/18

Starting in fiscal year 2026, Japan will enter the second phase of the "GX Pricing Strategy," marking the full-scale launch of the Emissions Trading Scheme (GX-ETS). For companies emitting over 100,000 tons of CO2 annually, concrete measures are now required in anticipation of mandatory carbon credit surrenders. Is your organization fully prepared for this transition?

 

ELIS Co., Ltd. supports the reduction of emissions across all Scopes (1, 2, and 3) by utilizing our micro-hydropower system, "WaterWeco®," to transform your facility’s unused water resources into strategic renewable energy.

 

Why WaterWeco® is Effective for Reducing All Scopes

 

  • Replacing Scope 1 (Direct Emissions):

    By integrating WaterWeco® as a supplementary power source for onsite boilers or self-generation equipment that currently relies on fossil fuels, companies can directly suppress fuel consumption and reduce direct emissions from business activities.

  • Guaranteed Reduction of Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions):

    Leveraging the unique characteristic of hydropower—stable generation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—WaterWeco® replaces purchased electricity (which may lack renewable value) with self-generated green power. This ensures reliable emission reductions, even during nighttime operations.

  • Impact on Scope 3 (Supply Chain Emissions):

    Decarbonizing the manufacturing process directly lowers the "Carbon Footprint" of your products. This serves as a powerful advantage when appealing to business partners who demand emission reductions across the entire supply chain, thereby securing your competitive edge in the global market.

■ Turning "Flowing Water" into a Weapon for GX Compliance

The water flow in drainage channels and water treatment facilities at many factories and offices is often overlooked. By installing WaterWeco®, you can harness this untapped water to generate your own clean electricity, leading directly to the minimization of carbon credit purchase costs under the GX-ETS.

 

View the regulations starting in 2026 not as a "cost increase," but as an "opportunity for innovation." Our specialist team is available at any time to provide implementation simulations tailored to your facilities.
