The I-REC Day Brazil — the largest Renewable Energy Certificate event in the country — returns for its 2nd edition with the goal of consolidating the opportunities offered by I-REC certificates in the Brazilian energy market.
Instituto Totum, in partnership with the I-REC Standard Foundation, invites companies and professionals from the electricity and biogas sectors to participate in this unique networking opportunity with key players in the market. At this event, attendees will have access to crucial discussions and will share experiences with the largest generators and traders in Brazil.
With discussions involving representatives from public entities and private companies, the event will provide valuable insights into the energy market, addressing the challenges the sector faces on the path to sustainable energy development. The Renewable Energy Certificate market is constantly growing globally, and with energy attribute tracking systems becoming increasingly essential, the I-REC Standard has emerged as the internationally most accepted system — and the most sought-after certificate in the Brazilian sector.
Join us at this not-to-be-missed event and stay ahead of the trends in this evolving market!

09:10 – 09:30 | Opening — Welcome & Opening Remarks
Speakers: Charles Lenzi (ABRAGEL) · Elbia Gannoun (ABEEOLICA) · Fernando Giachini (Instituto Totum) · Jared Braslawsky (I-TRACK Foundation)
09:30 – 09:50 | Talk 1 — Navigating the Global Environmental Attributes Ecosystem
An international perspective on the evolution of certificates — use cases and market trends.
09:50 – 10:05 | Talk 2 — Market Instruments in Scope 2: The New GHG Protocol Guidelines and Their Practical Impact
The GHG Protocol has released a first update to the Scope 2 Guidance after 10 years. We explore what will change and what is expected of energy users and suppliers.
10:05 – 11:00 | Panel 1 — Details That Scale: How to Structure I-REC(E) for Tomorrow
Brazil's electricity guarantee-of-origin certificate market has existed for 15 years — 10 of them under the I-REC standard. What are the key lessons learned, success factors, risks, and what can we expect in the years ahead?
11:00 – 11:30 | Break — Coffee Break
11:30 – 11:50 | Talk 3 — Decouple to Advance: Environmental Attributes and Market Instruments in the GHG Protocol Era
One factor limiting broader use of guarantee-of-origin certificates is a specific rule in the GHG Protocol standard. Local and global initiatives are working to overcome this. This talk summarises actions underway to unlock markets — including electricity, biomethane, SAF and other bioproducts (GGT, Let Green Gas Count, CRS and Brazil's Future Fuel Law).
11:50 – 12:50 | Panel 2 — The Moment of Truth: CGOB, GAS-REC, GHG and the Biomethane Certificate Landscape
It is 2026, the Future Fuel Law is approved and regulated. Now it is time for action: how will voluntary and regulated markets behave, what is the outlook for certificate supply, and how are gas producers and consumers working towards decarbonisation?
13:00 – 14:00 | Break — Lunch
14:00 – 14:15 | Talk 4 — From Data to Deal: Volumes, Prices and Transactions in Guarantee-of-Origin Certificates and Carbon Credits
What is an I-REC worth? Are there price differences by energy type or contract model? What about GAS-REC or CGOB? A market intelligence specialist presents a reference overview of prices and volumes.
14:15 – 15:15 | Panel 3 — Supply Versus Demand: The Carbon Credits Battle
This panel unpacks what a carbon credit is, the differences between technology-based projects (CCUS, energy, methane) and nature-based projects (forests, agriculture), and how this affects price, quality and risk. Opportunities and pitfalls for generators and buyers in voluntary and regulated markets — with a focus on integrity, MRV and due diligence.
15:15 – 16:15 | Networking — Networking Break
16:15 – 16:30 | Talk 5 — Line by Line: Where Certificates Fit in Your Financial Statements
There is significant uncertainty around how guarantee-of-origin certificates and carbon credits should be accounted for and taxed — for both buyers and sellers. A specialist will explain the factors to consider in the formal accounting process.
16:30 – 17:15 | Panel 4 — Brazil's Emissions Trading System (SBCE): Where We Are and Where We're Headed
The Carbon Market Law — Brazil's Emissions Trading System — is now a reality, though still being regulated. Experts discuss what is already known, what is expected, and how companies should prepare for GHG emissions caps. Legal compliance aspects for regulated companies and opportunities through market instruments (I-REC, GAS-REC, carbon credits) will also be covered.
17:15 | Closing — Event Close
