Brazil is on track to create a regulated carbon market ahead of next month’s United Nations climate action summit, fueling hopes of an export boost despite a controversial decision to exclude the country’s agricultural sector.
“The more carbon regulation we have here, the easier” to export to foreign markets increasingly concerned about emissions, said Flávio Roscoe, a director at textile mill Colortextil and chairman of the manufacturing association of Minas Gerais state. The agricultural caucus in Brazil has argued that emissions from crops and livestock are hard to measure and the new regulation could become a cumbersome hurdle for a sector producing most of the country’s exports. Climate experts say that crop fertilizers give off the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide, while cattle burp methane and deforestation releases the carbon stored in trees.
