Record of Methodologies

In order to prepare a project for the generation of carbon credits, it needs to follow principles that allow accurately measuring, reporting and verifying the level of ecosystem service being provided. This MRV system will make it possible to identify the service provider, the amount and value of the credits.

PNBSAE accepts all existing methodologies, from regulatory and voluntary markets, that have been submitted for registration, internally verified and made available to users. Periodic training must be carried out to update PNBSAE users, consultants and auditors.

The PNBSAE can also accept new methodologies that have been developed and approved through public consultations, provided they are submitted for evaluation and registration. The PNBSAE allows the market to judge the feasibility of investing in projects with different CSR approaches.

Therefore, in order to register an MRV methodology with the PNBSAE, it has to be sent for analysis, undergo an internal audit and be made available through the mechanism to interested parties. Methodologies not yet available in the PNBSAE and that are used in PIN or carbon projects, may be approved for use, provided that they meet the adequacy criteria.
