Carbon projects in Latin America

Launch a Carbon Project in Brazil

Guidance for Brazilian forest, regenerative land, renewable energy, and methane projects seeking global carbon-market visibility.

Brazil combines globally significant forest carbon, agricultural innovation, renewable energy, and a growing domestic carbon-market framework.

What makes this project credible

Applications should make land rights, environmental authorizations, Indigenous and community safeguards, and the relationship between voluntary claims and Brazilian regulation explicit.

  • CAR and land-tenure documentation
  • Deforestation and leakage context
  • Community and Indigenous safeguards
  • Alignment with applicable Brazilian carbon rules

Evidence to prepare

  • Georeferenced project boundary
  • Ownership, concession, or participation rights
  • Environmental permits and baseline evidence
  • Benefit-sharing and stakeholder records

Common questions

Can Amazon and Atlantic Forest projects apply?

Yes. Each project must use an appropriate methodology and provide defensible land rights, baseline, leakage, safeguards, and monitoring evidence.

Does a VerdaChain listing replace Brazilian approvals?

No. Project developers remain responsible for all national, state, municipal, registry, and community-consent requirements.
