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.
About TERO.003 Methodology
The TERO.003 – Carbon Stock in Forests methodology, aimed at the Amazon biome, innovates by generating two environmental assets: Verified Carbon Stock and Verified Carbon Credit, both equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide (tCO2e). Projects that adopt it have an unlimited commitment, renewable upon communication to the certifier.
The assets are generated by preserving and increasing biomass stocks in forest areas, encouraging practices that keep forests standing. The renewal of the Verified Carbon Stock is subject to periodic verification, with the possibility of generating additional Verified Carbon Credits.
The methodology, within the concept of Payment for Environmental Serviceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem_service (PSA), has the co-benefit of maintaining and preserving biodiversity and water resources. Forestry activities are also accepted as a way of enriching carbon stocks.
