この報告書は、ブラジルの炭素クレジットプログラムRenovaBioとそのCBIO炭素クレジットの法的・技術的欠陥を分析。排出量報告に87.4%の不確実性や40.8%の乖離があることを指摘し、基準となる排出量の検証が不十分なままCBIOが取引されていると結論づける。EU・メルコスール協定の環境条項の執行可能性に疑問を投げかける。
English
This dossier forensically analyzes Brazil's RenovaBio carbon credit program, finding systemic failures: 87.4% uncertainty in gaseous fuel emissions reporting, 40.8% discrepancy in liquid fuel data, and missing audit methodology. It concludes CBIOs are traded without verifiable baselines, undermining Paris Agreement compliance and the EU-Mercosur environmental provisions.

日本のGX文脈において
ブラジルの事例だが、日本におけるカーボンクレジット制度（J-クレジット等）の検証と監査の重要性を示唆。特に、排出量ベースラインの不確実性がクレジットの信頼性を損なう例として参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper offers a critical case study of carbon credit program failures, directly relevant to global debates on carbon market integrity, verification standards (e.g., under Article 6 of Paris Agreement), and the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). It highlights the risk of unverifiable offsets in trade agreements.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This dossier presents a forensic legal and technical analysis of Brazil’s RenovaBio program and its associated carbon credit system (CBIOs), with particular focus on environmental verification, methodological consistency, and compliance with international climate and trade law. Drawing on official UNFCCC Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) data, Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) filings, and judicial records from the Ministério Público Federal (MPF), the analysis evaluates whether the emissions accounting framework underpinning CBIO issuance meets minimum standards of measurability, verifiability, and legal certainty. The findings identify systemic failures in emissions reporting and verification, including an estimated 87.4% uncertainty in gaseous fuel emissions, a 40.8% discrepancy in liquid fuel reporting between sectoral and reference datasets, and the absence of the audit methodology promised for implementation by 2025. As a result, CBIOs are shown to be traded as financial instruments without a demonstrable, audited physical carbon baseline. From a legal and quantitative perspective, these deficiencies undermine the operational validity of claimed emissions reductions and raise significant questions regarding compliance with the Paris Agreement, the non-regression principle in environmental law, and the principle of legal certainty relied upon in the EU-Mercosur Agreement. The dossier concludes that, in the absence of verifiable emissions baselines, the environmental provisions associated with RenovaBio-linked carbon credits cannot be meaningfully implemented or enforced.
