Overview

The TERO.004 – Carbon Removal in Agricultural Crops Methodology was developed within the Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) Program, in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Uses (AFOLU) sector, to guide the quantification and verification of carbon stock in croplands resulting from the removal of atmospheric CO₂ through photosynthesis and biomass accumulation. This approach, focused on sustainable agricultural practices, ensures that eligible projects can generate Verified Carbon Credits (tCO₂e) with a high level of environmental integrity and transparency.

By providing rigorous technical guidelines for GHG removal, the methodology stands out for promoting effective solutions to mitigate climate change and driving the transition to a low-carbon economy. Developed by Israel de Jesus Sampaio Filho, Cacilda Adélia Sampaio de Souza, Valdiek da Silva Menezes, Diego César Veloso Rezende, and Francisco Gasparetto Higuchi, the TERO.004 Methodology establishes a robust framework for valuing the carbon stock in agricultural crops, contributing to sustainable progress within the sector.
