Your carbon credit creation,
smarter,
higher quality.
Japan’s carbon credit DX service “Ecoulu”
From planning to data capture and reporting—streamline the workflow with digital tools. Break free from paper-based work and deliver higher-quality outcomes with less time and cost.
Why teams choose Ecoulu
Practical tools for teams creating forest credits—focused on traceability and reducing admin overhead.
Work time 70%reduced
Move away from paper and manual workflows. Digitization improves both field and office work dramatically.
Higher-quality credits
Ensure transparency with Digital MRV. Link location, photos, and records with a clear history so buyers and verifiers can review evidence confidently.
Easy to get started
A reasonable pricing model with a 0 base fee lets you start small. Improve transparency and create additional value without sacrificing margin.
Solve field challenges with technology
Three common barriers in credit creation—and how Ecoulu addresses them (forest credit example).
Limits of analog data collection
Handwritten notes and paper maps in the forest, then manual entry back at the office. Double work and transcription risk.
Capture data on phones/tablets even without signal. Data is automatically reflected in GIS—reducing office work.
- Automatic GPS logging
- Save photos and notes together
- Automatic cloud sync
Key-person dependency and expertise barriers
Work depends on experienced staff. Rules are complex, and training time is limited.
A proprietary AI trained on program requirements supports your work. With automated report generation, teams can produce high-quality outputs even without deep expertise.
- Auto-generate reports based on the latest templates
- Automatically detect missing evidence
- AI automates custom workflows too
Insufficient evidence and rework
Requests for additional materials after submission, weak traceability, and buyer questions about quality.
All field-captured data can be reviewed on GIS. Fully trace who/when/where—and streamline third-party verification with digital evidence.
- Full history tracking
- Automatically organize and digitize evidence
- Third-party review support
For consulting firms
Standardize creation-support operations per client. Centralize multiple client projects and improve productivity and quality while reducing rework risk.
Traditional workflow vs Ecoulu
A workflow comparison for J-Credit creation (forest credit example).
| Phase | Traditional | Ecoulu |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Create a work map by marking work areas and monitoring plots on paper maps |
|
| Navigation | Reach work areas/monitoring plots using paper maps (Hard to determine current location and pinpoint correct target locations) |
|
| Work & records | Perform operations/protection/monitoring and record results using a camera and field notebooks (Monitoring rules can be complex and specialized. There is a risk of rework after third-party feedback.) |
|
| GIS entry | Return to the office and enter collected data into GIS (Identifying photo locations and linking/organizing data is time-consuming) |
|
| Reporting | Create monitoring reports by referencing project plans and operation/monitoring results (Many required fields. Submissions must use the latest templates, which update frequently—creating a risk of rework.) |

Create a work map by marking work areas and monitoring plots on paper maps
- Record work areas and monitoring plots in GIS
- Maps you create are automatically synced to the mobile app
Reach work areas/monitoring plots using paper maps
(Hard to determine current location and pinpoint correct target locations)
- Use a mobile app with mapped targets so teams can reach locations even without local familiarity
- Works offline
Perform operations/protection/monitoring and record results using a camera and field notebooks
(Monitoring rules can be complex and specialized. There is a risk of rework after third-party feedback.)
- Photos and notes captured in the app are automatically organized and linked in GIS
- LiDAR survey services, aerial survey data, and satellite-image monitoring are also supported (contact us if you’re interested in LiDAR services)
Return to the office and enter collected data into GIS
(Identifying photo locations and linking/organizing data is time-consuming)
- — No work required (auto-synced)
Create monitoring reports by referencing project plans and operation/monitoring results
(Many required fields. Submissions must use the latest templates, which update frequently—creating a risk of rework.)
- Monitoring reports are automatically generated by AI
- Make credit creation possible without specialized expertise

Base fee 0 JPY Start today
Because fees apply only when you use it, you can start small and adopt with low risk.
Usage-based billing
Fees apply based on project activity (e.g., monitoring and report creation). If you are not running monitoring/reporting, the base fee remains 0 JPY. Contact us for details.
Low cost
0 JPY base fee, enabling low-risk adoption.
Pay when used
Usage-based billing during monitoring phases; minimize off-season costs.
