Kitakyushu Asian Center
for Low Carbon Society

Although Kitakyushu suffered from severe environmental pollution in the 1960s, the concerted efforts of
the local residents, businesses, and the government allowed the city to prevail over the environmental
pollution that affected those who lived there. Mobilizing these experiences, Kitakyushu developed adiverse set of international cooperation activities, and built networks with various cities. Kitakyushu has
also played a leading role in the development of a recycling society, and has been contributing to thecreation of a low-carbon society. These actions received high acclaim from the Organisation of Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD), which characterized Kitakyushu as a formerly polluted industrial
zone that has become a “modern industrial city pursuing green growth.”

Selected as a model city in the OECD Green Cities Programme!
Together with the cities of Paris, Chicago, and Stockholm,
Kitakyushu was selected by OECD as the first model city forgreen growth in Asia in June 2011.
A report on the environmental policies and measures ofKitakyushu were published in a report by OECD in May 2013.
OECD is the world’s largest think tank with 35 member
countries and regions, and experts from more than 100
countries around the globe, including Brazil, Russia, andAfrican countries. This sharing of technical knowledge andexperience has expanded OECD’s sphere of communicationand influence on world affairs.

In addition to international
environmental cooperation, Kitakyushu
aims to promote methods andtechniques unique to Japan that areappreciated by, and respectful of, local
people in other countries whendeveloping and expanding international
environmental business opportunities.

“Low-Carbon Asia”

Goals have been set for reducing CO2 emissions citywide by 50%,
and throughout Asia by 150% by 2050 (compared to 2005 levels).
The City of Kitakyushu established the Kitakyushu Asian Center
for Low Carbon Society in June 2010.

Creating a WIN-WIN situation• Main services of the Center provided to local companies

Asian cities
Reduction of CO2 emissions,mitigation of pollution,and improvementof lifestyle quality§ Kitakyushu was selected as an Eco-Model City by the Japanese government in July 2008. In March 2009, Kitakyushu
formulated the Eco-Model City Action Plan (Kitakyushu Green Frontier Plan). In this plan, Kitakyushu set a target to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% citywide, and by 150% throughout Asia (compared to 2005 levels). The
Kitakyushu Asian Center for Low Carbon Society is dedicated to achieving a low-carbon society in the Asian region.

>Technology package
City of Kitakyushu
Stimulate local area throughdevelopment and expansionof environmental businesses
overseas with local businesses• Center Objectives
To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions substantially while enjoying a prosperous life, we need to change our attitudes and reconsider
conventional ways of living. In the field of environmental technologies, it is becoming more important to both develop new technologies that
contribute to innovative environmental solutions and create new business models, as well as improve utilization of existing technologies. In
the field of social technologies, the need for eco-conscious urban development through alternative energies will increase, while it also
becomes more important to change our lifestyles and attitudes. The Kitakyushu Asian Center for Low Carbon Society is dedicated topromoting technology transfers to Asian societies in the fields of environmental and social technologies, so as to promote social reforms,
create new values, and facilitate cultural development. The Center is taking the initiative to promote a low-carbon revolution in Asia.

The Kitakyushu Model systematically arranges information on the knowledge and environmental technologies ofKitakyushu from its experience in overcoming pollution to its quest as an environmental city. The Kitakyushu
Model is used to develop customized master plans to create sustainable cities that meet the needs of Asian cities,
and for the export of green cities (eco-friendly cities).

Studies on quantification techniques
to reduce CO2 emissions

Efficient cogeneration of heatand power and energy savings

The Kitakyushu New Low-Carbon Measurement, Reporting and Verification Mechanism(K-MRV) visibly quantifies greenhouse gas reductions through low-carbon projects
carried out in Asia by the City of Kitakyushu and local businesses in Kitakyushu. By visuallyquantifying greenhouse gas emissions, the mechanism will promote the export of high,value-added technologies of local businesses and stimulate the local economy, in order tocontribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the entire Asian region.
The mechanism is also designed for coordination with Japan’s Joint Crediting Mechanism(JCM).
§ MRV is the acronym for the “measurement,” “reporting,” and “verification” of greenhouse gas

emission reductions, and is made up of the first letter of each word. The K-MRV is
Kitakyushu’s version of the MRV.

WIN-WIN• Target Projects
In principle, target projects are those that contribute to the following three types of
low-carbon activities carried out in overseas.
• Projects implemented or being implemented with the City of Kitakyushu as the main
implementation body
•Projects implemented or being implemented by businesses with offices in Kitakyushu• Projects implemented or being implemented by businesses outside Kitakyushu that aresupported by the City of Kitakyushu

Industrial Waste Recycling Projects in Taiwan and Malaysia

Intermediate Recycling Treatment of Waste in Surabaya

Amita Corporation

Nishihara Corporation

Amita Corporation established a resource recycling plant in Kitakyushu Eco-Town (sixsites nationwide), with the aim of achieving global resource recycling in Asia. Since
2010, Amita has been engaged in the manufacturing of raw fuel for cement fromindustrial waste. In 2016, Amita Corporation opened a resource recycling plant inChanghua County, Taiwan, recycling 100% of industrial waste, such as silicon slurry
waste liquid, and carrying out operations to
supply recovered coolant, abrasive grains, andchip shavings to users as recyclable resources.
In 2017, Amita plans to open a recycling
resource manufacturing plant in the State of
Selagor, Malaysia to provide the raw fuel for
manufacturing cement from industrial waste tobe supplied to local cement factories.

With support from the Ministry of the Environment and JICA, Nishihara
Corporation has constructed intermediate recycling treatment facilities andcomposting facilities in Surabaya, Indonesia. Using these facilities, waste pickers
have been hired to collect valuables, such as cans and PET bottles frommunicipal waste, and a business model has been developed for the productionof compost from organic waste. Nishihara Corporation has already launched alocal subsidiar y and is ready for
full-fledged business development. At
this time, a national fertilizer company,
PT Pupuk Indonesia, has sho wn
interest in Nishihara Corporation’s
business model and is exploring
possibilities for collaboration.

Kitakyushu Asian Center for Low Carbon Society •8Citywide Low-Carbonization
Using JCM

The Case of Haiphong

Kitakyushu is promoting initiatives for the low-carbon development of entire cities designed around intercity cooperation and making use of the frameworkof JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism), as promoted by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment. Starting with Surabaya, Indonesia in 2013, Kitakyushu has
gradually expanded these initiatives to the target cities of Haiphong in Vietnam, Rayong Province in Thailand, Iskandar RDA in Malaysia, and Phnom Penh in
Cambodia.

Kitakyushu concluded a friendship city partnership with Haiphong in Vietnam in May 2009, and has been carring out a number of exchange programs eversince. In April 2014, the two cities developed a sister city agreement to further deepen the friendly exchange.
With the conclusion of this sister city agreement and based on a request from Haiphong, Kitakyushu offered support to Haiphong to create a master plan for
the improvement of the overall urban environment, called the “Green Growth Promotion Plan.” This plan consists of seven areas, including waste
management, energy, water supply and sewage, transportation, and green production, as well as 15 pilot projects which will be conducted by 2020 with afocus on the involvement of local companies in Kitakyushu, including SoftEnergy Controls and Amita Corporation.

EV Bus Demonstration Project on Cat Ba Island
Cat Ba Island, a site that has also applied to be listed as a World Natural Heritage Site, isa tourist destination visited by over one million people a year. A demonstration project isbeing promoted on the operation an environmentally-friendly electric bus by utilizing the
Ministry of the Environment of Japan’s project on low-carbon technology innovation fordeveloping countries. As the first project for Vietnam, various hurdles needed to be
jumped over, including obtaining approval from the Prime Minister on import proceduresfor the electric bus and having the Ministry of Transport create guidelines for the bus tooperate on public roads.

Current initiatives

Photovoltaic power
generation(CIGS thin film solar cell)
51KW◆ EV bus development and demonstration project (first initiative in Vietnam)● Conduct of EV bus demonstration operational test linked to photovoltaic power
generation on Cat Ba Island● Implementation period: February 2017 to March 2020

Future initiatives◆ After confirming the impacts of the EV bus, measures will be considered to ban
diesel buses on Cat Ba Island◆ In order to promote initiatives that contribute to environmental protection, such as
the expanded use of EV buses, the introduction of tourism fees to Cat Ba Island
was also discussed.

Direct charge when there isremaining battery capacity

Although the Haiphong Urban Environment Company (URENCO)
has developed sorting and composting facilities with Korean
ODA, the compost produced could only be used as landfill
covering material. For this reason, experts were dispatchedfrom Kitakyushu in November 2015 to provide technicalguidance. An analysis of the compost revealed that it meets
standards for organic fertilizer specified by agricultural andrural developers in Vietnam. From FY 2017, high-quality
compost has started to be produced, with a focus on market
waste.

In Thailand, construction started on a power generation facility for waste heat recovery in a cement plant using JCM’sequipment subsidy scheme. The city is currently involved in introducing the same facilities in other cement plants in Haiphongas a form of horizontal expansion. A project to recycle industrial waste as raw materials for cement plants is also underway.
