Vichada

This project operates with vintage years, indicating the year in which carbon credits were issued. Each vintage year reflects the amount of CO₂ that was avoided or removed from the atmosphere by the project during that specific year. The project employs a removal mechanism, meaning it actively removes or reduces harmful emissions from the atmosphere. Classified as ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation & Revegetation), this project type involves planting new forests or restoring degraded ones to increase carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ARR projects can generate carbon credits by demonstrating enhanced carbon storage through tree planting and forest regrowth. A carbon standard is applied, representing a set of rules and criteria used to measure, report, and verify emissions reductions or removals from the project. Carbon standards are critical in carbon markets, as they provide a consistent and transparent methodology for determining the number of carbon credits that a project can generate. not equivalent to carbon credits, RECs certify the use of renewable energy, promoting its adoption and market growth.
