Short reference pages on the carbon crediting methodologies that matter most for Brazil: current version, status and deadlines, CCP and CORSIA position, each with links to the official pages and the date we checked them.

How we build these pages
- Facts come from the official Verra methodology pages, ICVCM assessment decisions and ICAO’s CORSIA eligible units document. Each page lists its sources.
- Verra’s licence prohibits commercial reproduction of its documents, so we summarise in our own words and link to the source.
- For project counts we use the Berkeley Voluntary Registry Offsets Database as an open data reference: Quartson P., Haya B.K., Bernard T., Abayo A., Rong X., So I.S., Elias M. (2026), Voluntary Registry Offsets Database v2026-08, Berkeley Carbon Trading Project, UC Berkeley, CC BY 4.0 (link).
- Where a status depends on our reading of a rule (for example CORSIA exclusions by country), we say so.
For Brazil’s regulated market, see our Brazil SBCE tracker.
