Voluntary Carbon Market

The Voluntary Carbon Market is a tool that aids in meeting the national climate action goals, hastening the transition to a carbon neutral society, and reinforcing the commitment to the «Sustainable Development Goals»

Methodologies

The types of projects eligible under the Voluntary Carbon Market are defined by the carbon methodologies approved, available and published in this section, which establish a set of criteria and guidelines for the recognition of projects and the credits they may generate, in line with the fundamental principles that rule the Voluntary Carbon Market.

A methodology should establish:

For the purposes of development and evaluation of carbon methodologies, a technical monitoring committee (CTA) was established, coordinated by ApC, and which includes representatives from other relevant entities in this context.

The submission of proposals for methodologies by third parties must be made using the template prepared for this purpose, which will be available in the “Documents” section.

Any proposed methodology will be subject to a public consultation process to ensure and encourage the participation of all interested parties before approval by ApC, I.P.

The approval of a carbon methodology determines its inclusion in the list of eligible methodologies, for the purpose of registering projects in the Voluntary Carbon Market.
