The issuance of international renewable energy certificates (I-RECs) in Brazil has grown strongly in the first half of 2026, surpassing the total for 2025 despite renewable energy curtailments and revised corporate decarbonization targets. Market resilience is supported by companies registering more generation capacity to offset curtailments and demand driven by sustainability commitments, while stricter traceability rules under the revised Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2 guidance may increase demand for certificates with finer temporal and geographic granularity.
