Tero Carbon, a Brazilian certifier of environmental assets headquartered in Manaus/AM, announces the opening of a call for the registration of Validation/Verification Bodies (VVBs) interested in participating in its Certification Programs. This initiative aims to expand and qualify its network of VVBs, ensuring the robustness and integrity of the carbon project certification processes across Brazil.

Tero Carbon, the first Brazilian digital certifier of environmental assets with Amazonian origins, is making available for public consultation on Monday (19) its three programs for the environmental asset market (carbon credits and stock): Certification (Version 1.0), Methodologies (Version 1.0), and Asset Registration and Use (Version 1.0).

Tero Carbon, the only Brazilian certifier of carbon credits and carbon stocks with a genuinely Amazonian DNA, has just integrated into the global Climate Action Data Trust (CAD Trust) platform. As a result, every asset generated and registered on the Tero Platform, along with its operations, will also be reported to the decentralized global platform. This process aims to further enhance the transparency and traceability of all Tero Carbon assets.

INPA supports Tero Carbon, highlighting the importance of carbon credit traceability through blockchain. This institutional support strengthens the certification and registration of carbon projects, promoting sustainability and economic development in the Amazon, with national and international backing.

Tero Carbon is pleased to announce the official launch of Methodology TERO.005 – Reduction of GHG Emissions via Electric Vehicles, Version 1.0. This innovative methodology aims to generate carbon credits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) through the gradual replacement of land-based fleets with electric vehicles.

The Eco Farm Santa Bárbara Coffee Project Receives Tero Carbon Certification generating 1,937 tCO2e (Carbon Credits), Vintage 2024, for a crediting period from 12/01/2015 to 01/24/2024. This project, based on nature solutions (NBS), from the AFOLU sector, met all the criteria of the Tero Carbon Certification Program. The methodology used was TERO.004 – Carbon Stock in Agrosilvopastoral System, version 1.0.

The Public Consultation on the TERO.005 Methodology has been opened, which aims to replace combustion vehicles with electric vehicles, reducing GHG emissions. Civil society is invited to contribute for 30 days to improve criteria and guidelines for issuing carbon credits.

The Amazonas Commercial Association – ACA understands that the same attention given to the role of forests and agribusiness in the state of Amazonas regarding global climate change must also be considered the potential that the state has to become the main export base for Carbon Credits, thus expressing support for Tero Carbon.

TERO.004 – Carbon Stock in Agrosilvopastoral System is an Agriculture, Forests and Land Use (AFOLU) methodology, in this first version, aimed at the cultivation of Coffee throughout the Brazilian territory. The methodology provides for the generation of Verified Carbon Credit (by Removal), represented by one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). The project’s commitment period is unlimited, that is, its closing date can be defined later by communicating it to the certifier and the market.

Today the TERO.003 – Carbon Stock in Forests Methodology, Version 1.0, was launched. Now, after the public consultation period and review of the comments arising from it, it is ready to receive projects.
