Bioenergia GUIA DE MELHORES PRÁTICAS PARA EMITIR TÍTULOS VERDES

The document outlines the Climate Bonds Standard and Certification Scheme, a voluntary labeling system designed to align financial investments with the 1.5ºC global warming limit. It details the three-step process for bioenergy bond certification—pre-issuance, issuance, and post-issuance—and specifies the eligibility criteria for bioenergy projects. These criteria include greenhouse gas (GHG) emission limits, indirect land-use change (iLUC) risk reduction, and climate resilience plans. The guide highlights Brazil's successful bioenergy programs, such as RenovaBio, and provides a case study of FS Agrisolutions Indústria de Biocombustíveis Ltda. regarding corn-based ethanol production.

• The Climate Bonds Certification Scheme is a voluntary labeling system for debt instruments and entities that align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. As of January 2023, the scheme has been applied to hundreds of instruments totaling 260 billion dollars in equivalents.
• Bioenergy eligibility is based on a feedstock-neutral approach, covering residues, energy crops, and lignocellulosic biomass, but specifically excludes wood (and all woody biomass), third-generation biofuels (algae), and biodegradable municipal solid waste (MSW), including sewage sludge and food waste.
• Certification for bioenergy projects requires meeting specific mitigation and resilience (A&R) criteria. Mitigation requirements include GHG emission limits—where Brazilian issuers can use RenovaCalc for life cycle assessments—and the reduction of indirect land-use change (iLUC) risk. Resilience requirements involve climate risk assessments, food security plans, and certified raw materials.
• The certification process consists of three phases: pre-issuance (identifying eligible resources, creating a green bond framework, and engaging a verifier), issuance (obtaining the verification report, engaging investors, and listing on platforms like Nasdaq or IADB), and post-issuance (providing a verification report within 12-24 months and annual update reports).
• In Brazil, FS Bioenergia was the first issuer to achieve programmatic certification for corn ethanol. A specific case study for FS Agrisolutions Indústria de Biocombustíveis Ltda. shows that transport biofuel projects must meet an emission limit of 18.8gCO2e/MJ.
