After a pilot experiment in the first half of the year, the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) published this Tuesday (30) its second public notice for the acquisition of carbon credits, with the objective of investing up to R$ 100 million in the initiative. . The value is ten times greater than the pilot notice, launched in March, which had a limit of R$ 10 million.
The first BNDES public notice presented its results in May. Five of the 11 proposals received were selected. The bank ended up buying R$ 8.7 million in credits, out of the R$ 10 million available.
According to the BNDES, the second public notice brings some adjustments in relation to the pilot experience. Now, “there was a withdrawal of the requirement to issue previous credits for competing projects, the inclusion of the agricultural sector as one of the scopes of the Public Notice, in addition to the increase in the number of certifying institutions”, says a note released by the development bank.
Along with the total limit provided for in the public notice, the maximum value of each proposal was raised. Now, each project will be able to offer up to R$ 25 million per proposal – in the pilot notice, the limit per proposal was R$ 2 million.
In the call released this Tuesday, “projects focusing on reforestation, reduction of emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, energy (biomass and methane) and sustainable agriculture will be eligible”.
As with the first call, the criteria for selection involve the evaluation of the bidder, the project and the price. According to the BNDES, the result of the call is scheduled for early November.
