Tero Carbon is pleased to announce the official launch of Methodology TERO.005 – Reduction of GHG Emissions via Electric Vehicles, Version 1.0. This innovative methodology aims to generate carbon credits by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) through the gradual replacement of land-based fleets with electric vehicles.
Developed by BVM12 strategically to mitigate air pollution, TERO.005 promotes a transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources, encouraging the adoption of eco-efficient technologies in the transportation sector. Projects implemented under this methodology play a crucial role in the global fight against climate change, significantly contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future.
Methodology TERO.005 underwent a rigorous public consultation process through the Tero Carbon Methodologies Program, reflecting our commitment to transparency and excellence in the carbon market. We received contributions from civil society during the period from 17/05/2024 to 16/06/2024, ensuring that the methodology is robust not only in technical terms but also in its social and economic applicability.
As a national certifier of environmental assets, Tero Carbon is committed to democratizing the voluntary carbon market in Brazil, ensuring that projects of all scales have equitable access to climate change mitigation opportunities. We deeply value socio-environmental safeguards and adherence to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that each certified project makes a positive contribution to the environment and society as a whole.
This methodology represents not only a significant advancement in promoting responsible environmental practices but also underscores our commitment to sustainability and technological innovation. We are confident that TERO.005 will serve as a catalyst for positive transformations in the Brazilian transportation sector, driving toward a greener and more resilient future.

The Public Consultation on the Methodology TERO.005 – Reduction of GHG Emissions via Electric Vehicles is open and accepting contributions from civil society.
Tero Carbon, a digital certifier of Brazilian environmental assets with genuinely Amazonian DNA, is pleased to announce the launch of its latest methodology for public consultation: TERO.005 – Reduction of GHG Emissions via Electric Vehicles.
The methodology developed by BVM12 is part of the new Technology-Based Solutions Program (TBS), focused on reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by replacing the land fleet of combustion vehicles with electric vehicles. Aimed at companies with vehicle fleets or application companies for logistics or mobility, TERO.005 establishes precise and careful criteria to guarantee integrity and transparency in the issuance of carbon credits for reduced emissions.
The public consultation, launched on May 17, 2024, has the main objective of collecting contributions from civil society on the methodology. Therefore, over a period of 30 days, we invite all interested parties to review the methodology and provide valuable feedback. We believe this collaboration will help further refine TERO.005, making it a powerful tool to promote the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Tero Carbon is committed to leading the certification of Brazilian environmental assets, and TERO.005 is yet another demonstration of this commitment. We look forward to working closely with the community to develop solutions that protect our environment and promote a more sustainable future for everyone.
