Yesterday (11/11) a new opinion by Senator Leila Barros (PDT/DF) was published on PL 182/2024, which establishes the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System (SBCE).

The new opinion includes contributions from some of the 42 amendments presented by senators in the Plenary.

The changes incorporated mainly concern article 43 of the text, which deals with the ownership of carbon credits and REDD+ Jurisdictional projects, and were made through an agreement reached with actors from different sectors affected by the provisions.

Furthermore, an amendment was accepted that adds the term “retention” to the concept of carbon credit, together with the terms reduction and removal, as one of the possibilities for generating credits.

Bill 182/2024 is on the agenda for the deliberative session of the Federal Senate Plenary scheduled for today (12/11) at 2:00 pm.
