フェイガー focuses on reducing greenhouse‑gas emissions in agriculture, primarily by extending mid‑season drainage periods in rice paddies to curb methane release and partnering with farmers to implement these practices. The company measures the emissions reductions and converts them into carbon credits, which it generates, manages, and sells while returning revenue to producers and offering “face‑visible” credits to corporate buyers. To date the firm has implemented projects covering about 2,000 ha and generated roughly 5,000 t‑CO2 of credits. Using funds raised in this round,フェイガー plans to scale to 15,000 ha and target about 50,000 t‑CO2 of credit generation in 2024. The company also intends to maintain and expand producer yield and quality while building the organizational capacity for high‑quality carbon‑credit generation and sales. Operations emphasize both domestic expansion and accelerated overseas rollout, particularly across Southeast Asia and Africa, alongside team growth for credit generation, sales, and management functions. Faeger offers two core services: a farmer-facing service that streamlines recording decarbonization practices, applying for certification, and approving credits with minimal administrative burden; and a corporate-facing service that plans, sources, and supports use of voluntary carbon credits at appropriate price, volume, and timing. The company positions itself to address gaps in Japan’s agricultural carbon-credit generation and corporate access to high-quality voluntary credits. Faeger says it will first establish proof points in Japan and then expand rapidly into Southeast Asia using the team’s regional experience. The team includes founder and CEO Takahiro Ishizaki and COO Yusuke Takai, both with consulting and agriculture/market-expansion backgrounds, and CSO Emi Uemoto. Faeger was founded in 2022 and is actively hiring to scale its agriculture×decarbonization operations. The company has raised a seed round to support product and geographic expansion.
