Greenhouse Gases (GHG)

Introduction

Guidance for accounting, reporting and verifying project-associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions that reduce emissions and increase soil carbon sequestration on farms through the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices and land management activities. These reductions come from projects designed to combat climate change. Is a legal requirement for farms to demonstrate their commitment to society and the environment, consists of technical surveys of the situation of the various areas of the farm, where they will be analyzed on site and a diagnosis will be made for socio-environmental assessment.

What makes a project eligible to generate carbon credits?/

. In general, for credits to be issued, the project must be registered within internationally recognized standards.

How does carbon pricing work? .

. It depends on the origin of each investor. The greater the need, the higher the price. The idea begins by passing on to polluters (companies and businesses) the responsibility for CO2 emissions, encouraging the market to invest more and more in sustainable technologies to reduce the environmental impact and the effects of global warming.

. Carbon pricing curbs greenhouse gas emissions by placing a fee on emitting and/or offering an incentive for emitting less. The price signal created shifts consumption and investment patterns, making economic development compatible with climate protection.
