Executive Summary / Lead瑞穗金融集團(Mizuho Financial Group) 正式加入 NextGen CDR Facility,這是一項由 三菱商事(Mitsubishi Corporation) 和 South Pole 共同成立的 NextGen CDR AG 領導的 碳信用購買合作計畫。此舉使瑞穗成為 首家簽署技術型碳移除(CDR)長期購買協議的日本銀行,標誌著金融業在推動 先進碳移除技術 方面邁出重要一步。
Mizuho Financial Group has officially joined the NextGen CDR Facility, a carbon credit purchasing initiative led by NextGen CDR AG, co-founded by Mitsubishi Corporation and South Pole. This move makes Mizuho the first Japanese bank to sign a long-term purchasing agreement for technology-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR), marking a significant step forward for the financial sector in supporting advanced carbon removal solutions.
企業與產業背景
Company & Industry ContextNextGen CDR Facility 致力於支持創新的技術型碳移除技術,以 永久儲存二氧化碳(CO2),解決過去累積的碳排放問題,實現 淨負排放(net-negative emissions)。與依賴自然的碳移除方法相比,這些技術解決方案以其 耐久性和可追溯性 獲得廣泛關注,被視為未來碳中和的重要策略之一。
The NextGen CDR Facility focuses on supporting innovative CDR technologies that permanently store CO₂, addressing legacy emissions and achieving net-negative emissions. Compared to nature-based carbon removal methods, these technologies offer greater durability and traceability, making them a key strategy for long-term carbon neutrality.
挑戰與重要性
Challenge / Why It Matters瑞穗金融集團的戰略參與
瑞穗金融集團可持續發展事業推進部總經理 綱田慎一(Shinichi Tsunoda) 表示,碳信用機制是一種公平評估減碳努力的系統,透過全球資金分配機制,能夠為不同行業的減碳技術和專案提供必要的資金支持。他強調,在技術型碳移除領域,由於市場仍處於初期階段,透過聯合購買形成初始需求勢能至關重要。瑞穗參與 NextGen CDR 計畫,不僅是對該領域的投資,更是支持技術型碳移除發展的第一步。
瑞穗的戰略參與 不僅限於購買碳信用額度,還計劃 深入研究技術型 CDR 專案、解決碳信用分配挑戰,並在日本發展碳信用交易市場。這項舉措將協助日本企業商業化技術型碳移除技術,提供 金融與非金融支持,促進該領域的發展。
Mizuho’s Strategic Involvement
Shinichi Tsunoda, General Manager of Mizuho’s Sustainable Business Promotion Division, emphasized that carbon credit mechanisms are crucial for fairly assessing decarbonization efforts and mobilizing global financial resources to support emission reduction technologies. Given that the market for technology-based CDR is still in its early stages, collective purchasing agreements are vital for generating initial demand.
行動、方案與執行
Action / Solution / Implementation跨國合作夥伴的積極響應
NextGen CDR AG 董事長暨 South Pole 日本區董事總經理 Patrick Bürgi 表示,NextGen CDR 以及合作夥伴 South Pole 和三菱商事對於瑞穗金融集團的加入感到欣喜。隨著全球氣候變遷挑戰加劇,碳移除技術已成為當前最重要的氣候行動之一。他強調,現在比以往任何時候都更需要有影響力的機構進入市場,提供資金與市場支援,NextGen CDR 也將繼續透過多元化投資組合確保高完整性和低風險的碳信用機制。
NextGen CDR AG 董事、三菱商事碳管理部總經理 近谷亮介(Ryosuke Kontani) 也指出,技術型 CDR 碳信用對於實現低碳與淨零社會至關重要。NextGen 計畫的初衷即是推動這類技術的發展與擴展,瑞穗金融集團作為碳信用領域的重要機構,將為該領域帶來更多市場影響力,未來雙方將共同推廣技術型 CDR,促進市場成長。
此外,三井 OSK 航運(Mitsui O.S.K. Lines)能源事業總部副總經理 野間康親(Yasuchika Noma) 也表示,能夠攜手瑞穗金融集團共同推廣技術型 CDR,他們深感欣慰。他進一步指出,技術型碳移除方案能夠長期有效儲存二氧化碳,對於實現《巴黎協定》中 1.5°C 氣候目標具有關鍵作用,因此,透過 NextGen 這類國際合作計畫,將能夠為全球可持續發展提供更具體的解決方案。
Mizuho’s participation in the NextGen CDR initiative goes beyond carbon credit purchases - it also involves:
By supporting the commercialization of CDR technologies in Japan and providing both financial and non-financial assistance, Mizuho aims to foster the sector’s growth.
Strong Support from Global Partners
Patrick Bürgi, Chairman of NextGen CDR AG and Managing Director of South Pole Japan, expressed enthusiasm about Mizuho’s participation, highlighting the urgent need for large institutions to provide funding and market support for carbon removal solutions.
Ryosuke Kontani, Director of NextGen CDR AG and General Manager of Mitsubishi Corporation’s Carbon Management Department, noted that CDR carbon credits are essential for achieving a low-carbon, net-zero society. He emphasized that Mizuho’s involvement would bring additional market influence, helping drive adoption and expansion of technology-based CDR.
證據、成果與影響
Evidence / Results / Impact技術型碳移除政策方向與市場發展
技術型 CDR 的核心優勢在於其 碳封存的永久性,不同於森林造林等自然型碳移除方案,技術型 CDR 能夠透過工業化手段確保二氧化碳的長期存儲。然而,該領域仍面臨 成本高昂、技術成熟度不足、市場需求尚未形成 等挑戰,因此政策推動與市場機制的建立至關重要。
1. 政策層面:政府與企業共同推動市場發展
隨著各國政府對 碳中和與碳市場機制的規範日趨嚴格,技術型 CDR 的發展需要來自政府的 政策支持、補貼機制與碳市場規範。目前,日本政府已在 2023 年的「GX 綠色轉型政策」 中提出發展 CCUS(碳捕集、利用與封存),並推動 碳信用市場建設,這為技術型 CDR 產業提供了政策基礎。
Additionally, Yasuchika Noma, Deputy General Manager of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines’ Energy Business Division, stressed that long-term carbon storage solutions are critical to achieving the 1.5°C target under the Paris Agreement. He welcomed Mizuho’s participation, noting that NextGen’s international collaboration provides concrete solutions for global sustainability.
Policy Direction & Market Development for Tech-Based CDR
Governments are tightening carbon neutrality and carbon market regulations, making policy incentives, subsidies, and carbon credit frameworks critical for developing technology-based CDR. In Japan, the 2023 GX (Green Transformation) policy promotes CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) and aims to establish a carbon credit market, creating a foundation for this industry.
產業與制度意涵
Industry & Institutional Implications2. 金融機構的角色:促進碳信用交易市場發展
目前,技術型 CDR 最大的挑戰之一是 市場規模尚未形成,這導致投資者對該領域的興趣仍然有限。因此,金融機構可以透過 早期投資、推動市場交易機制、發行綠色債券與可持續發展貸款 來促進市場發展。

展望未來:瑞穗金融集團的領導角色
作為日本首家參與技術型 CDR 長期購買協議的銀行,瑞穗金融集團的舉措不僅標誌著金融業對氣候行動的進一步承諾,也為技術型 CDR 的市場化與商業化奠定基礎。未來,瑞穗將持續推動 碳移除技術投資、支持日本企業進入國際碳市場,並與政府、企業、國際機構合作,加速全球碳中和進程。
One of the biggest challenges for technology-based CDR is the lack of a mature market, which limits investor interest. Financial institutions can play a key role in fostering market development through:
