Sembcorp venture launches platform for int’l renewable energy certificates trading in Brazil

GoNetZero collaborated with Instituto Totum for the project.

Sembcorp’s carbon management solutions corporate venture, GoNetZero, has rolled out a blockchain-powered digital platform for trading Brazil International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-REC).

In a bourse filing, Sembcorp said GoNetZero collaborated with Instituto Totum for the project.

Instituto Totum is an authorised local issuer of I-REC in Brazil.

“The collaboration puts GoNetZeroTM in a strong position to support the fast-growing renewable energy certificate market in Brazil. Brazil is the world’s second-largest I-REC market where the volume of I-REC issued in 2022 doubled from the year before to 22 million, representing green energy equivalent to powering 4.0 million typical households* in Singapore for a year,” Sembcorp stated.

“Renewable energy generators in Brazil are now able to seamlessly list their I-REC for sale directly on GoNetZeroTM’s platform upon the issuance of the I-REC by Instituto Totum. The streamlined process offers generators faster speed to market and convenient access to GoNetZeroTM’s global network of buyers,” Sembcorp added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
