Asuene Inc. is set to conduct measurement of total CO2 emissions at “ap bank fes ’25 at TOKYO DOME Society, Life, and Music” music festival, organized by AP Bank, founded in 2003 by musician Takeshi Kobayashi, Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children, and Ryuichi Sakamoto,Grammy and Academy award winning composer. The event will take place at Tokyo Dome on February 15-16. A pre-event calculation of CO2 emissions estimates at 894 t-CO2. By utilizing use of renewable energy sources at Tokyo Dome, offsetting emissions with carbon credits, and encouraging behavioral changes among participants, “ap bank fes ’25” will be a 100% carbon-neutral event.
Asuene and AP Bank aim to use this event to raise awareness of the environmental impact of daily actions, encouraging individuals to take responsibility and make better choices for the environment.
The State of the Planetary Environment
The direct causes of extreme weather events can be explained by atmospheric pressure patterns familiar from weather maps. However, the increase in heatwaves and heavy rainfall over the past few decades is undeniably linked to human activity. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report confirms, with scientific certainty, that fossil fuel consumption is driving climate change. Extreme weather is becoming the norm, significantly impacting our daily lives and future.
In reality, we are seeing wildfires spread across North America, and Japan is experiencing more frequent typhoons and torrential rains. Over the past 150 years, temperatures around Japan have risen by 1.4°C, and the effects of climate change are becoming more evident. For instance, Typhoon Hagibis in 2019 saw 13.6% more rainfall due to human-induced warming, causing massive floods. In central Tokyo, the number of extreme heat days (above 35°C) reached a record 22 days, with total summer days exceeding 90 days, threatening public health and daily life.
Measuring Environmental Impact to Achieve a Carbon-Neutral Event
Climate change is an immense challenge that often feels abstract and distant from daily life. Many people feel unsure about what actions to take or believe that individual efforts won’t make a difference. To overcome this barrier, “ap bank fes ’25 at TOKYO DOME Society, Life, and Music” will disclose itsPre-event Calculation of CO2 Emissions, helping attendees recognize better choices and take meaningful action.
By leveraging use of renewable energy , carbon credit offsetting, and environmental conscious behavior from participants, we are committed to realizing a 100% carbon-neutral event. We believe this initiative represents a significant step toward a sustainable future.
Pre-Event CO2 Emission Measurement Results
Asuene will measure the estimated CO2 emissions for “ap bank fes ’25 at TOKYO DOME Society, Life, and Music” based on both pre-event projections and post-event actual values. The goal is to minimize emissions related to the event, including participant transportation, energy consumption, and waste. In collaboration with event organizers, venue managers, and service providers, Asuene measured the emissions from various activities. The pre-event CO2 Emissions measured amount was 894 t-CO2.
Breakdown of CO2 Emissions by Category
Total emissions: 894 t-CO2
・Participant transportation: 682 t-CO2 (76.3%)
・Merchandise & food and beverage: 85 t-CO2 (9.4%)
・Venue operations (stage production): 82 t-CO2 (9.1%)
・Energy consumption: 34 t-CO2 (3.8%)
・Waste: 8 t-CO2 (0.9%)
・Organizer transportation: 3 t-CO2 (0.3%)
Reducing CO2 Emissions
The pre-event measurement of CO2 Emissions indicates that Participant Transportation accounts for the largest share of emissions. While travel is a necessary part of modern life, individuals can contribute to emission reduction by choosing low-carbon transportation options.
Created by Asuene based on Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism data:
・Choosing trains over flights can reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 80%.
・Switching from gasoline cars to hybrid vehicles or trains can reduce emissions by about 50% and 84%, respectively.
・Using bicycles or shared e-scooters for short distances instead of trains can eliminate CO2 emissions entirely.
Other options include optimizing travel routes for lower emissions, using low-carbon fuels, or switching to EVs powered by renewable energy.
Comment from Kohei Nishiwada, Asuene CEO
“A dream has come true. I am honored to collaborate with AP Bank, an organization at the forefront of addressing environmental and social issues, in measuring the CO2 emissions for ‘ap bank fes ’25 at TOKYO DOME.’
‘ap bank fes’ was a major inspiration in my personal journey toward solving environmental issues. I am excited to give back and contribute to making the Tokyo Dome event in February 2025 as meaningful and impactful as possible.”

Explore Solana (SOL) price analysis, market sentiment, and future predictions in this detailed article. Learn about recent fluctuations, key resistance and support levels, technical indicators, and the impact of global factors on Solana’s performance. Get insights into Solana’s potential for a rebound or further decline in the coming weeks.
The cryptocurrency market is as volatile as ever, with Solana (SOL) experiencing significant price swings. This article explores Solana’s current performance, market sentiment, and SOL future price prediction.
Solana’s Price Movements: A Volatile Market Ride
Solana has been on a rollercoaster ride, with its price fluctuating between $220 and $280 over the past month.
As of February 4, 2025, the cryptocurrency is trading at around $210, reflecting a 25% rise from its lowest point despite some downward trends.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at approximately 40, suggesting that SOL could be oversold and poised for a rebound if buying pressure increases.
However, when this article was written on February 6, the price of SOL has again decreased by 3.56% so that it is traded at a price of $ 196.99 with its highest price being $ 209.37 in the last 24 hours.
The RSI and MACD values show a decrease and indicate a bearish trend will occur shortly.
Will Solana Regain Momentum?
Market analysts predict that Solana could reach $250 by the end of February and potentially surge to $500 by the end of the year. However, this forecast hinges on several key resistance and support levels.
If SOL can break past $220, it may trigger a bullish trend towards $232 and $250. Conversely, failing to hold above $200 could push the price down to $192 or even test the crucial $175 support level.
Technical indicators reflect this uncertainty. The hourly MACD suggests a loss of bullish momentum, while the RSI remains below 50, signaling persistent market weakness.
Additionally, declining user engagement and reduced on-chain activity are raising concerns about Solana’s long-term sustainability.
AI Predictions and Market Reactions
Several AI-powered forecasting models predict mixed outcomes for Solana. Some models suggest a short-term increase of 9%, targeting a price of $211.05 by mid-February.
However, others foresee potential declines driven by broader economic factors, including recent tariff announcements by President Trump, which have impacted global markets and investor sentiment.
Solana has also faced a decline in active addresses and a drop in its Total Value Locked (TVL) from $12.1 billion to $10.2 billion, signaling a decrease in investor confidence.
Conclusion: What Lies Ahead?
Solana remains a major player in the cryptocurrency market, but its ongoing volatility and declining engagement pose challenges.
The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether SOL can regain momentum or face further downward pressure.
For investors, staying informed and monitoring key market trends is essential. Whether Solana rebounds, the crypto market remains dynamic, offering both risks and opportunities for savvy traders.
