Calculations indicate that the carbon credit for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to deforestation and degradation in the State's biome exceeds 108,2 million tons of CO₂eq (carbon equivalent) eligible for market transaction
Project developed at the Research Center for Innovation in Greenhouse Gases aims to identify the best alternatives to recover millions of hectares of degraded pastures and calculate how this can help the country meet climate goals
Data available is about the “Land Use Change” process, which can account for up to 90% of the carbon footprint of these products and which was responsible for approximately 66% of CO2 emissions in Brazil in 2020
Researchers are using synchrotron light to study how soil can reduce greenhouse gases, retain more moisture during droughts and retain more soil organic carbon for greater crop resilience
Carbon market, greenhouse gas emissions, farmers' qualifications and the role of companies in the area will be discussed by experts Afonso Peche, Decio Gazzoni and Tiago Egydio Barreto
The study is being carried out in several regions of Brazil, including the use of techniques that range from the molecular scale, such as synchrotron radiation, to the national scale through the use of models and scenario analysis
Program will help farmers around the world to adopt even more sustainable and carbon-efficient practices; program will be launched in phases starting in 2022
