Overview
TERO.003 – Carbon Stock in Forests introduces an innovative approach by generating two environmental assets: (a) Carbon Stock and (b) Carbon Credit.
These assets are generated through the preservation and enhancement of biomass stocks across all forested areas of rural properties, including Legal Reserves (LR) and Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs). The goal is to incentivize activities that maintain forests standing, resulting in the generation of assets (carbon credit and stock) that benefit rural landowners demonstrating their contribution to mitigating climate change.
The Carbon Stock of the project area can be periodically renewed upon submission of a new Sample Forest Inventory (SFI) and verification by Tero Carbon and independent audit. If an increase in carbon stocks in the forest is confirmed, Verified Carbon Credits are also generated for the surplus above the previously measured maximum stock.
Aligned with the concept of Payment for Environmental Services (PES), the methodology also promotes biodiversity and water resource conservation. Silvicultural activities are recognized as means to enrich the carbon stock.
