NTT Communications lead to significant CO2 reduction in agriculture

Sep 20, 2023

Fukui (Japan), Sep 20 (ANI): Japan’s leading global provider of information and communications technology solutions, NTT Communications, is helping to reduce CO2 in agriculture. Based on collaboration with Yanmar Holdings, this project is moving forward. It is well known for its agricultural equipment and facilities. This project aims to get advantageous carbon credits. In Ono city of Fukui prefecture paddy fields are spreading to produce rice. Methane gas is created in large quantities throughout the growth process, with the greenhouse effect being 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide. NTT Communication provides a sensor named "MIHARAS" in the paddy field for the reduction of methane gas enabling it to get big carbon credit. The "extension of midterm paddy field drying up" is being done in Ohno City Paddy Field. Methane gas is produced during the cultivation of rice crops. NTT Communications and Yanmar prolonged the midterm paddy field drying period by seven days. It reduces 30 percent of methane gas. NTT Communications and Yanmar promote steady rice crop production and brand it as "keep environment rice".
