00:00:00 - 00:10:00

In the YouTube video "Crédito de carbono: regulação do mercado e perspectivas," Ricardo Stop, president of ITU group, discusses the importance and benefits of investing in the carbon credit market. ITU, the largest carbon credit producer in the world, preserves over 1 million hectares through projects like Fortaleza do Itu, which produces 133,000 hectares of carbon credits. The market is regulated in various global markets, including Europe, where ITU plans to produce 10 million credits this year. The carbon credit market offers various types of credits, such as emission reduction, avoided deforestation, and pressure reduction, and investors can earn credits through reforestation, planting native species, or improving pasture quality. The market is growing rapidly, with an estimated 40 billion credits available, and ITU currently produces 1 billion credits. Companies must compensate for their emissions under the Paris Treaty, creating a high demand for carbon credits. Intermediaries like Acx act as brokers between buyers and sellers, and the market is expected to become more regulated. The speaker predicts that Brazilian carbon credits will approach the European value of around 100 Euros by 2030. Farming and livestock production in Brazil can also benefit from the carbon credit market through new techniques like plantation lines and shading to increase animal density and carbon sequestration. The speaker emphasizes the need for more awareness, education, and collaboration to fully participate in this market.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Crédito de carbono: regulação do mercado e perspectivas," Ricardo Stop, president of the ITU group, discusses the importance and benefits of investing in the carbon credit market. ITU, which has been active in the market for over 10 years, is the largest carbon credit producer in the world, preserving over 1 million hectares. The group's most famous project, Fortaleza do Itu, preserves 133,000 hectares and is evaluated by top Brazilian rating agencies. The carbon credit market is voluntary but regulated in various global markets, including Europe, where ITU plans to produce 10 million credits this year. The market offers various types of carbon credits, such as those for emission reduction (Red), avoided deforestation (VM), and pressure reduction (VM15). Investors can earn carbon credits by restoring degraded pasture (Reflorest), planting native species (VM40), or improving pasture quality (VM03). The carbon credit market is growing rapidly, with an estimated 40 billion credits available, and ITU currently produces 1 billion credits. Companies must compensate for their emissions under the Paris Treaty, creating a high demand for carbon credits. The market is active, with traders and stock exchanges involved. ITU negotiates with various multinational companies, including Boeing.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Crédito de carbono: regulação do mercado e perspectivas," the speaker discusses the role of intermediaries like Acx in the carbon credit market. Acx acts as a broker between buyers and sellers, and has recently become a partner of the Brazilian Stock Exchange (B3). The market is expected to become more regulated, and several Brazilian companies are entering the voluntary carbon market. For instance, a car rental company called Localiza purchases carbon credits to offset the pollution caused by their vehicles. The speaker also mentions various markets that demand high-quality projects and benefit local communities. The value of carbon credits is currently around 10 to 12 Euros, but after COP 26, carbon credits in Europe have been compensating the same amount as regulated carbon in Europe, which is around 100 Euros. The speaker predicts that Brazilian carbon credits will approach this value by 2030. The calculation of carbon credits is done by forestry engineers, and both the company and the forest are calculated based on the number of trees and the amount of CO2 that will be released into the atmosphere. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for 100 years and destroys the ozone layer, and there are other greenhouse gases like methane that have a greater impact. The speaker also mentions the importance of image and acceptance in the market, and gives the example of a car rental company being more attractive to customers if they compensate for their emissions. Several states are already considering projects to compensate tourists for their emissions, and the Secretary of the State of São Paulo has contacted the speaker about this. The speaker also discusses the adoption of carbon credits by rural producers and farmers in Brazil, and mentions that they are aware of this market but are not yet actively participating.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Crédito de carbono: regulação do mercado e perspectivas," the speaker discusses the potential of Brazilian farming and livestock industry in the carbon credit market. The speaker notes that European producers have an advantage due to carbon compensation, but Brazilian farming and livestock can also benefit from this market. The speaker mentions new techniques such as plantation lines and shading to increase animal density and carbon sequestration. The speaker believes that farming and livestock production can only gain from this market, as it could increase both production and carbon credits. The speaker also mentions the need for more awareness and education about the carbon credit market and the potential benefits for farmers and ranchers. The speaker also mentions the need for more collaboration with companies that work with carbon credits and the importance of starting the project development process early. The speaker is the president of Itxi, a company that develops voluntary carbon credit projects.
