Peru's government has approved three additional methodologies under Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program for use in the National Registry of Mitigation Measures (RENAMI). The methodologies include VM0046 for reducing food loss and waste, VMR0007 for solid waste recycling, and AMS-III.G for landfill methane recovery.

This approval expands the types of VCS projects eligible under RENAMI and highlights the role of carbon markets in Peru's climate goals. Last year, Peru recognized the VCS Program as an eligible mechanism for certifying carbon credits and approved five VCS methodologies. The integration of these methodologies supports regional compliance markets and advances climate action in the country.
