NEC Presents the Decarbonization Potential of its CropScope Agricultural Solution at COP30
NEC ends up being the very first Japanese Company picked for the European Green Digital Coalition’s Net Carbon Impact Assessment
TOKYO, Nov 19, 2025 – (JCN Newswire) –NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) revealed the decarbonization capacity of its farming software application platform “CropScope” at COP30 (the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), kept in Belém, Brazil, from November 10, 2025. NEC, together with international environment consultancy the Carbon Trust established a case research study in Hokkaido, Japan, to show making use of CropScope’s variable fertilizer application function. The Carbon Trust computed the net carbon effect of the option as roughly– 6 tCO2e, leading to a 23% decrease in emissions when utilized on the crop type Winter Wheat.
This computation measures the decarbonization capacity for society and was performed as NEC ended up being the very first Japanese business(* 1) picked for the Net Carbon Impact Assessment promoted by the European Green Digital Coalition(* 2).
Discussion at the COP30 “AgriZone”
The Net Carbon Impact Assessment clinically examines ecological contributions allowed by digital innovation. NEC used to and was picked for this job, motivated by the capacity of digital services for farming– a sector carefully connected to environment modification.
Through this job, NEC performed the very first quantitative evaluation showing that CropScope’s variable fertilizer application not just enhances fertilizer performance however likewise provides ecological advantages. This evaluation will be released as a case research study report.
NEC’s CropScope decreases Nâ ‚‚ O (laughing gas) emissions created from fertilizer-derived nitrogen through nitrification and denitrification responses by reducing extreme fertilization by means of variable-rate application. In 2022, NEC carried out field trials on several crops at a farm in northern Japan. Based upon these information, NEC quantitatively examined the outcomes within the structure of the European Green Digital Coalition’s Net Carbon Impact Assessment with assistance from the Carbon Trust.
CropScope Features
1. Generation of high-precision variable fertilizer application maps through satellite information analysis
Variable fertilizer application is an innovation that enhances fertilizer application rates for each place based upon the development status and soil residential or commercial properties within a field. CropScope evaluates keeping track of information, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and approximated soil nitrogen levels originated from satellite images, to divide fields into numerous management zones. It immediately determines and maps the optimum fertilizer application rate for each zone. Using this map lowers localized surpluses and scarcities that traditional consistent fertilization can not deal with, allowing effective usage of fertilizer and enhanced efficiency.
2. Compatibility with Farm Machinery and Ease of Field Implementation
The created fertilizer application maps can be related to suitable tractors and fertilizer spreaders to immediately carry out zone-specific fertilizer application. An essential function is the capability to quickly make use of variable rate fertilization– which formerly needed specialized understanding and complex settings– through a smooth procedure from information analysis and map generation to real fertilization. The easy to use user interface and useful style considerably lower the barrier to adoption in the field, even for novice users.
Moving forward, NEC will promote the decarbonization advantages attained through CropScope and advance its carbon credit generation efforts.
