LynxAWD Rice Digital MRV Platform

Creattura Co., Ltd. is a Japanese climate company working on carbon credits, digital MRV and decarbonization. It procures and develops carbon credits for corporations and local governments, with more than 1.4 million tonnes traded since July 2022, and develops rice methane reduction projects in the Philippines with partners such as the National Irrigation Administration, IRRI, Tokyo Gas and Kubota.

LynxAWD is its AI-powered digital MRV platform for alternate wetting and drying (AWD) rice projects. It consolidates farmer profiles, field shapefiles, satellite analysis, drainage records and geo-tagged evidence in one workspace, creating a digital record for every field each season. Patented satellite monitoring with AI identifies rice, models the season and detects flooding and drainage events per field, while the FieldSnap mobile app captures time-stamped photo evidence offline. Project developers use it to aggregate participants, collect monitoring data and apply for credits.

• Single workspace: farmer profiles, field data, satellite analysis, drainage records and evidence in one place.
• Patented satellite AI: crop identification, rice season modelling and field-level drainage event detection.
• Field-level records: drill-down from project totals to each field with shapefiles and evidence logs.
• FieldSnap app: geo-tagged, time-stamped photos of flooding and drainage with offline sync.
• Credit workflow: participant aggregation, monitoring data collection and credit applications for developers.
• Lynx Connect: traceability layer for Japan's J-Credit system tracking sub-tonne reductions.

• Rice companies and cooperatives in the Mekong Delta documenting AWD adoption for low-emission rice and carbon credits.
• Japanese and Vietnamese partners developing JCM rice methane projects in Vietnam.
• Food and beverage buyers tracing emission reductions to supplier fields for Scope 3 reporting.

• Fewer costly physical field visits, since satellite AI detects flooding and drainage even under the rice canopy.
• Audit-ready evidence per field and season, replacing spreadsheet-based management of thousands of farmers.
• Scales from pilots to tens of thousands of hectares, as in a 14,000-hectare AWD project in the Philippines.
• Traceability to individual farmer fields supports Scope 3 insetting claims and credit sales.

Rice methane is a major target for agricultural carbon programs in Asia, and AWD is widely promoted as a low-cost practice that cuts emissions and saves water. Bilateral mechanisms such as Japan's Joint Crediting Mechanism and corporate insetting demand verifiable, field-level MRV, a need shared by Vietnam's low-emission rice program in the Mekong Delta.
