Federal Law 15.042/2024 on the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System (SBCE)

This law establishes the Brazilian Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System (SBCE). It applies to activities, sources and facilities located in the national territory that emit or may emit greenhouse gases (GHG), under the responsibility of operators, individuals or legal entities, with the exception of primary agricultural production, as well as assets, improvements and infrastructure within rural properties directly associated with it, which are not subject to obligations imposed under the SBCE. Indirect emissions from the production of agricultural inputs or raw materials are also not considered.
