Enabled by Future Climate, CONAMP offsets emissions from two major events and receives the Carbon Neutral seal

The National Association of Public Prosecutors (CONAMP) has taken an important step in its climate agenda. In partnership with the Future Climate Group, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of two major events held in 2025 were inventoried and offset: the XXII National Public Prosecutors’ Soccer Tournament, in Campo Grande (MS), and the Rio de Janeiro […]

What Are the Main Emission Sources in the Fertilizer Sector? And What Are the Opportunities?

The fertilizer sector in Brazil is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to the intensive use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers such as urea. When applied to the soil, these fertilizers release nitrous oxide (N₂O), a gas with a global warming potential approximately 298 times higher than that of carbon dioxide (CO₂). […]

Is Product Carbon Footprint Important?

Growing concern over climate change has led companies across all sectors to rethink the production, distribution, and communication of their products. Product carbon footprint has moved beyond a niche technical topic to become a strategic requirement in markets advancing towards decarbonization. Measuring, tracking, and communicating the emissions of each product released to the market is […]

What Is an Emissions Inventory?

A Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory is a detailed assessment of all GHG emission sources from an organization over a defined period (usually annually). Official definitions compare the inventory to an “X-ray” of the company’s emissions, as it reveals which activities generate greenhouse gases and how much is released into the atmosphere. In other words, […]

What is SBCE? And Why Does It Matter?

The SBCE (Brazilian Emissions Trading System) is a regulated carbon market, based on a cap-and-trade model, currently under implementation in Brazil. Its main objective is to promote the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in an efficient, cost-effective manner aligned with the country’s climate commitments. Among these, the highlight is Brazil’s new target under the […]

How to Turn Your Emissions Inventory into a Value-Driven Strategy

The year 2020 marked a significant milestone for the climate agenda in Brazil. This shift reflected a combination of increased regulatory pressure, growing demands from investors and consumers, and the maturation of the corporate sustainability ecosystem. As a result, more and more companies began publishing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories in the Public Emissions […]

Is it possible to ensure high integrity in private carbon projects in Brazil?

Cases of overestimated credits, lack of benefits for communities, and lack of transparency have called the viability of carbon projects into question in Brazil — from civil society, investors, and regulators alike. However, new approaches in the development of forest initiatives show that it is entirely possible — and necessary — to reverse this scenario, […]
