Public Consultation of the Methodology TERO.003 – Carbon Stock in Forests is open!
TERO.003 – Carbon Stock in Forests is an Agriculture, Forests and Land Use (AFOLU) methodology, in this first version, focused on the Amazon Biome. It brings as an innovation the generation of two environmental assets: (a) Verified Carbon Stock and (b) Verified Carbon Credit, both represented by one ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). The commitment period for projects that opt for this methodology is unlimited and can be renewed periodically, upon communication to the certifier and the market.
Assets are generated through the preservation and increase of biomass stocks in all forest areas on rural properties, including the Legal Reserve (RL) and Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs). The objective is to encourage activities that keep the forest standing, generating assets (credit and carbon stock) that benefit rural owners who demonstrate their contribution to mitigating climate change.
The Verified Carbon Stock of the project area may be renewed periodically through the new submission of the Sample Forest Inventory (IFA) and its verification, carried out by Tero Carbon and an independent audit. If an increase in carbon stocks in the forest is found, a Verified Carbon Credit will also be generated in the amount exceeding the maximum stock previously measured.
The methodology, within the concept of Payment for Environmental Services (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.

About Tero Carbon
Tero Carbon is a digital certifier of environmental assets, credit and carbon stock. We work with exclusive methodologies, developed by partner institutions, which were submitted and approved in a Public Consultation instrument.
We have developed an independent process for certifying carbon projects and verifying environmental assets, supported by a technological platform developed to accelerate these processes. We issue certificates for the generation, transfer and retirement of carbon credits using Blockchain technology to ensure security, transparency and traceability of assets.
We share and support best market practices to deliver a quality asset, supported by eligibility criteria and socio-environmental safeguards, in accordance with best market practices, such as those established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations (UN) and the Core Carbon Principles. We are a certifying entity for the Amazon and Brazil.
A year ago, we launched ourselves on the market as a digital certifier of carbon credits and stocks. During this period, we guarantee the fulfillment of our mission in the market: We unite our own methodologies, developed for the reality of the Amazon and Brazil, with technologies that simplify project registration, providing transparency and security in asset transactions.
Our actions speak louder than words; – construction moments in the office, at events, immersed in the Amazon, carrying out public consultations. We are fully convinced that, just as the voluntary carbon market has progressed, we, as a certifier, share the same objective!
We thank everyone who was part of this first year and we extend a warm welcome to our second year! With the authentic essence of the Amazon and Brazil!
Yours sincerely, Tero Carbon Team
About Tero Carbon

We are very proud to be supported and guaranteed by the Federation of Industries of the Federação das Indústrias do Estado do Amazonas (FIEAM), which shares the mission of contributing to the economic development of the region, now also through a carbon market.
We invite you to participate in our online seminar: TERO.002 Methodology – REDD v1.0.
During the event, our CEO, Francisco Higuchi, will give a detailed presentation of the TERO.002 Methodology – REDD v1.0, which focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through Avoided Planned Deforestation (APD). Our approach prioritizes environmental impacts and the preservation of biodiversity and forests. In addition, we will address eligible rural properties, including both public and private properties with natural forests.

Our dedication to the transparency of procedures and community involvement in methodology discussions is a fundamental value present in all our certifications. By rigorously following these principles, we have reached the final stage of version 1.0 of the TERO.002 – REDD Methodology, ensuring compliance with all requirements.
The steps taken to complete version 1.0 were:
We provide the PDF containing the TERO.002 – REDD Methodology and an online form open to the public during the period from 05/22/2023 to 06/21/2023. This public consultation process allowed people to express their opinions, suggestions and doubts, promoting democratic participation and opening up space for different perspectives.
From 06/22/2023 to 07/23/2023, we carefully analyzed all contributions received through the public form, taking into account the suggestions and criticisms presented. This review demonstrates our commitment to valuing public feedback and making informed decisions.
Today, on 07/24/2023, we are pleased to announce the publication of version 1.0 of the TERO.002 – REDD Methodology. This final version reflects the entire public consultation process and incorporates the contributions received, ensuring full transparency in the development of the methodology.
On 08/23/2023, at 2 pm, we will hold an online seminar to provide an overview of the TERO.002 – REDD Methodology and to interact with the public on the feedback and suggestions received. Soon we will provide more information about the event.

Week marked by important events related to the carbon market. During the 19th and 20th of June, our CEO Francisco Higuchi and part of our team had the opportunity to discuss significant advances in this sector and present regulatory proposals. Follow the details below..
In Manaus – On the 19th, we participated in a special meeting with the Environmental Coordination of the Public Ministry of Accounts (MPC).
The meeting aimed to discuss the carbon market in the state of Amazonas and highlight its importance for environmental preservation. On that occasion, we presented the carbon market project in partnership with the Federation of Industries of the State of Amazonas (FIEAM). In addition, we had the presence of representatives of the OAB/AM and the MPC, enriching the discussion.
Meeting with the Environmental Coordination of the Public Ministry of Accounts (MPC)
In Brasília – On Tuesday, the 20th, we participated in the event “Dialogue: Regulated Carbon Market and Industrial Competitiveness”, promoted by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI). During the event, CNI presented its proposal for the implementation of a regulated carbon emissions trading system in Brazil. This initiative is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and has an estimated potential of up to BRL 128 billion in revenue, according to the Partnership for Market Readiness (PMR) project.
Our participation in these events was extremely relevant, as we reinforced our commitment to the carbon market in Brazil and established valuable connections with other professionals and industry leaders. We believe in the potential of this market and are committed to driving its growth.

For more information about the event that deals with CNI’s proposal for the Brazilian regulated carbon market, we invite you to access the full article on the CNI website.
We are excited about the advances made and committed to contributing to building a sustainable future through the carbon market. Follow our next updates to learn more about our initiatives and partnerships in this field that is so important for the environment.
