Tero Programs
The Complete Roadmap for Project Developers
Our Document Architecture
The Tero Programs documentation is organized hierarchically to facilitate understanding. We have three main Programs that act as “umbrellas,” each containing its own supporting documents, such as tools, manuals, and templates.
Certification Program
Defines the rules, processes, and lifecycle for the certification of projects that generate environmental assets (VCUs and VCSUs). It is the master “how-to” guide.
Methodologies Program
Establishes the process for the development, submission, review, and approval of new quantification methodologies, ensuring technical robustness.
Asset Program
Describes the principles for the creation, management, and registration of digital assets on the Tero platform, ensuring their integrity and traceability on the blockchain.
Current Documentation (Version 2.1)
Access the essential and updated documents for your project’s development below. To ensure compliance, always use the documents from this section.
Common and Consultation Documents
These documents are cross-cutting to all programs or serve as templates for interacting with Tero Carbon.
Definitions
The central glossary of Tero Carbon. This document consolidates and standardizes all technical terms and acronyms used in our documentation to ensure a common understanding and avoid ambiguity.
