Research 5 — Cercarbono, EcoRegistry & S&P Meta Registry: Partnership Pathway for a LATAM Project Software

Author: Research note for founder building software for LATAM carbon project developers Date: 2026-04-25 Scope: Cercarbono standard, EcoRegistry registry tech, S&P Global Meta Registry connectivity, comparative interop, partnership pathway

1. Cercarbono profile

1.1 Origin and governance

Cercarbono is a Colombia-headquartered voluntary carbon standard founded in 2016. It was created in the wake of Colombia’s Law 1819/2016 (carbon-tax structural reform) and Decree 926/2017 of the Ministry of Finance, which together created a domestic compliance offsetting market that approved standards could supply (Cercarbono — Who we are, ALLCOT — Colombian carbon tax). Initial certifications were issued in 2019, beginning with forestry. By 2018 Cercarbono had partnered with the newly founded EcoRegistry as its registry-of-record, an alliance that is still in place (Cercarbono — alliance with EcoRegistry).

1.2 Current scale (as of late 2025 / early 2026)

• Projects: 200+ registered globally, in 20+ countries (Cercarbono — VCM Award announcement, Sept 2025).
• Issued credits: Cercarbono had cumulative issuances exceeding 47M tCO2e from 138 projects by early 2023 (Xpansiv announcement) and crossed 55M certified credits per year shortly thereafter (Carbon Credits — Xpansiv listing, ClimateTrade — interview).
• Sector mix: roughly balanced thirds across REDD+, reforestation/restoration, and renewable energy, with a smaller “other” bucket for waste management, transport fuel switching and end-of-life vehicles.
• Geographies: Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, plus Turkey, Ghana, Laos, Nepal, Vietnam (S&P press release, Nov 2024).
• Compliance footprint: ~95% of Colombian retirements in 2025 were against the Colombian carbon tax — Cercarbono is one of five standards approved for Colombian carbon-tax neutralization, alongside CDM, VCS, ProClima and CSA (AlliedOffsets — VCM credits eligible for compliance tax schemes).

1.3 Endorsements & integrity status

• ICROA: Endorsed October 2023 (ICROA endorses Cercarbono).
• Environmental Finance VCM Award 2025: “Best GHG Crediting Programme / Standards Setter,” awarded September 23, 2025 — first Global South standard to win the category (EF Award — Cercarbono).
• ICVCM CCP: Applied for Core Carbon Principles eligibility on October 2, 2024; assessment ongoing; not yet labeled CCP-Eligible (Cercarbono CCP application, Carbon Herald — Cercarbono CCP evaluation).
• Cancún Safeguards: Cercarbono’s REDD+ v3.1 (March 2026) explicitly embeds the seven UNFCCC Cancún Safeguards — respect for IPLC rights, biodiversity protection, ecosystem services, transparent governance, and FPIC (Cercarbono REDD+ v3.1 consultation).
• Article 6.4 alignment: Active workstream as of 2025; not yet authorized as an Article 6.4 mechanism but methodologies are being aligned and Cercarbono has signaled host-country LoA support pathways (Carbon Pulse interview, May 2025).
• CCB: Cercarbono is not CCB-certified (CCB is Verra-controlled); instead it has its own native co-benefits programme (CBCP — see §6) plus Cancún-aligned safeguards. For developers wanting CCB-style co-benefit flagging, the CBCP is its in-house equivalent.

1.4 Leadership

Cercarbono’s leadership is small but credible (Cercarbono Our Team):

• Alex Saer — CEO. Industrial engineer + Fulbright in Sustainable Development; 20+ yrs in sustainability consulting and 3+ yrs at Colombia’s Ministry of Environment designing climate policy. Quoted in nearly every recent press piece — primary external face.
• Jorge Plauchú — Carbon Programme Director. 40+ yrs in energy/industry/municipal sectors.
• Catalina Romero — Carbon Certification Director. PhD Agri-Food Economics; 20+ yrs AFOLU.
• Natalia Forero Vargas — Technical Carbon Officer (AFOLU specialist).
• Luisa Fernanda Lopera — Account Manager (commercial-facing).
• Valentina Fierro — Commercial & Communications Analyst.

Board of Directors:

• Carlos Trujillo — Founder/Board (originally announced as Chief Executive Director per RocketReach but Saer is now public-facing CEO; Trujillo continues as founder/board member).
• Patricio Lombardi — Carbon Markets Fairness Foundation; LATAM’s first Minister of Climate Change (Argentina).
• Federico Hoyos — former Colombian Ambassador to Canada.
• Ousmane Fall Sarr — West African Climate Alliance.
• Wei Mei Hum — Carbon markets veteran, former VP / Global Head of Environmental Products at AirCarbon Exchange (ACX). Crucial: this is the relationship channel that explains the deep ACX–EcoRegistry–Cercarbono triangle.

Note on “Camilo Salazar”: searches turn up Camilo Salazar de la Fuente at VIPER, not Cercarbono. The contact-target list in the prompt should swap him for Alex Saer (CEO), Catalina Romero (technical) and Wei Mei Hum (board / ACX bridge) for partnership outreach.

1.5 Recent news (last 12 months)

• Jan 2026 — Cercarbono / Malaysia Forest Fund signed a South-South MoU to support credible forest carbon and nature-based solutions in Malaysia (Cercarbono / MFF announcement).
• Dec 2025 / Mar 2026 — REDD+ v3.1 (M/LU-REDD+) published Mar 2026 after public consultation; Blue Carbon CM-LU-CW-001 v1.1 published Mar 2026 (developed jointly with Tabah Asia, Indonesia) (Carbon Pulse — coastal wetlands consultation).
• Sept 2025 — Alliance with Biodiversity Intelligence + EMFF.
• Aug 2025 — Verra signs the Meta Registry deal — making Cercarbono and Verra technological neighbors on the same connectivity fabric.
• Nov 2024 — Selected S&P Meta Registry; first registry on the platform.
• Oct 2024 — Applied for ICVCM CCP eligibility.

2. Methodology catalog

Pulled from Cercarbono Methodologies (current as of April 2026).

2.1 Active Cercarbono methodologies

2.2 Inactive / superseded versions

Eight earlier versions remain accessible on the Cercarbono site for transparency, including REDD+ v1.1–1.3.1 and earlier modular forest/wetland approaches.

2.3 CDM-aligned methodology adoption

Cercarbono publicly endorses use of CDM methodologies that align with its policy framework, listed by sector in downloadable catalogs: Energy, Industry, Construction, Transport, Mining, Metal Production, Fugitive Emissions, Waste Management and Land Use.

2.4 Biodiversity Certification Programme (CBCP)

Separate from carbon, Cercarbono runs the CBCP (Cercarbono Biodiversity Certification Programme) — first biodiversity-credit methodology approved in 2024, first CBCP credits issued in 2024, marketed in iVBC (Innovation Voluntary Biodiversity Credits) Gold and Platinum tiers (CBCP Protocol v1.1.1).

3. EcoRegistry architecture

EcoRegistry is the registry-of-record for all Cercarbono credits. It is a separate company from Cercarbono — Cercarbono sets the standard, EcoRegistry holds the units.

3.1 History & ownership

• Founded 2018 as a JV of Latin Checkout (a Colombian fintech) and XM (the system operator of Colombia’s wholesale electricity market, an ISA Group subsidiary).
• 2022 — XM exited; Latin Checkout became sole owner (XM exit announcement).
• HQ Medellín, Colombia.

3.2 Leadership

• Juan David Durán Hernández — CEO (also titled Executive Director). Public-facing on every recent partnership announcement.
• Andrés Correa — Co-founder + Executive Board (also a Latin Checkout co-founder). Listed on Global Emissions Standard (GES) advisory.

3.3 Technical architecture

EcoRegistry implements a three-layer architecture (Business / Data / Blockchain) (Architecture document, March 2023):

• Business layer: Web app for project proponents, validators, end-users, Cercarbono.
• Data layer: Python API backend on AWS Elastic Beanstalk behind NGINX.
• Blockchain layer: MultiChain (a permissioned chain — not Ethereum, not a public DLT). Runs on AWS EC2. All issuance, transfer and retirement events are written to MultiChain transactions; supporting evidence is stored off-chain but hashed on-chain.

Authentication is OAuth-style bearer-token, token TTL of 1 hour, OWASP-aligned. Both REST (JSON) and SOAP (XML) endpoints are described in the architecture doc.

EcoRegistry is EBSS-Compliant (Enterprise Blockchain Security Specification).

3.4 Serial-number scheme & retirement workflow

Each unit (1 tCO2e) gets a unique serial number issued by EcoRegistry, not by Cercarbono. The serial encodes the project ID, vintage, and sequence; it carries an end-use flag (national tax / business / corporate voluntary / CORSIA) which is set at issuance or retirement and is what makes Cercarbono usable for the Colombian carbon-tax compliance market without double counting against voluntary uses (Cercarbono Issuance & Withdrawal Procedures v2.0).

Retirement workflow: holder requests retirement via web UI → EcoRegistry validates the unit and end-use → MultiChain records the immutable retirement TX → public retirement statement is generated → end-beneficiary is recorded and shown in the public ledger view.

3.5 Public data feed

EcoRegistry exposes a public projects browser at ecoregistry.io/projects-list/cercarbono-co2 with project details (proponent, country, methodology, vintages, issuances, retirements). The page is JS-rendered (no static scrape works cleanly), so practical access is the UI for humans and the API for partners.

4. Public API audit

4.1 What’s documented publicly

• Architecture doc (referenced above) describes the API surface generically: REST + SOAP, bearer token, 1-hour TTL.
• No public sandbox / no public OpenAPI spec / no developer portal. EcoRegistry does not run a self-service developer experience comparable to Stripe or even Verra’s user guide — every search for “EcoRegistry developer portal sandbox” returns nothing.
• Integrations are partner-only and contractually onboarded: Carbonmark (Sept 2024, June 2025 update), ACX (July 2023), Xpansiv CBL (Feb 2023), CUSIP Global Services (Feb 2026), S&P Meta Registry (Nov 2024).

4.2 What integrations look like in practice

Each integration is bespoke. The Carbonmark deal is described as enabling “API-based automated transactions” and “real-time transactions and retirements,” so the API does in fact support programmatic transfer/retire (Carbonmark + EcoRegistry). The CUSIP integration adds programmatic CUSIP-request via EcoRegistry’s UI, suggesting EcoRegistry is willing to embed third-party identifiers into its issuance flow (CUSIP / EcoRegistry Feb 2026).

4.3 What this means operationally

For a software vendor selling to project developers using Cercarbono:

1. No “just sign up and call our API” path exists for EcoRegistry. Period.
2. Onboarding is a bilateral commercial discussion with EcoRegistry (Juan Durán) plus a standard-side engagement with Cercarbono (Alex Saer).
3. Once onboarded, the API supports the operations a project-side OS would need: project metadata read, issuance event subscription, transfer initiation, retirement initiation, and supporting-document upload. Rate limits / SLAs are not published — to be negotiated.
4. A practical pattern: get listed as an approved technology partner of Cercarbono so that their project developers can authorize you to act on their behalf via a token-delegation pattern, similar to how Carbonmark gets read access to inventory.

5. S&P Meta Registry connectivity

5.1 What Meta Registry is

S&P Global Commodity Insights launched Meta Registry in July 2024. It is not a registry — it is a connectivity fabric. Per the S&P product page, its delivery surface is dual: REST APIs (permissioned) plus a DLT path that supports public/private blockchain integrations via sidechains, oracles, or bridges/swaps (S&P Meta Registry product page). Marketing pitch: “Connect once, connect to many.”

5.2 What Cercarbono / EcoRegistry get from it

The Nov 20, 2024 press release described Cercarbono as “the first to utilize” the platform and listed:

• About 160 environmental projects exposed via Meta Registry connectivity at launch.
• Visibility to S&P Commodity Insights’ ecosystem of buyers, exchanges, banks, third-party data providers and national registries.
• Double-counting risk reduction across registries.
• Quoted: Alex Saer (Cercarbono CEO), Juan Durán (EcoRegistry CEO), Jonty Rushforth (S&P Head of Environmental Solutions), Dana Agrotti (S&P Low Carbon Markets Lead Analyst).

The press release did not disclose contractual terms, fees, exclusivity, or duration.

5.3 Comparison with Verra’s August 2025 deal

On August 21, 2025 Verra signed a much larger deal with the same S&P group: a next-generation registry built jointly with S&P, fully interconnecting with the Verra Project Hub and integrating with Meta Registry. Phased rollout — foundational phase within ~6 months, second phase 2026 (S&P + Verra press release, Verra registry transition page).

What this means strategically: by 2026 a software vendor that integrates once into S&P’s Meta Registry layer effectively gets connectivity to both Cercarbono and Verra from a single technical contract — and very likely Gold Standard, ART, ACR (which moved to ICE’s next-gen registry platform) and others over time. The integration-leverage of Cercarbono partnership multiplies through Meta Registry.

5.4 Meta Registry interop with EcoRegistry

EcoRegistry remains the registry-of-record. Meta Registry is a layer above — it doesn’t ingest the MultiChain ledger, it ingests EcoRegistry’s API view. So a software vendor working with Cercarbono projects has two technical surfaces: (a) EcoRegistry directly (deeper, custodial actions) and (b) Meta Registry (read-mostly, cross-registry portfolio view, not yet retirement-capable across all members at scale).

6. Active project portfolio

The 200+ project portfolio is heavily LATAM, with notable Asia/Africa expansion via the new partnerships (Tabah Asia in Indonesia for blue carbon, Malaysia Forest Fund for forest carbon, plus existing projects in Turkey, Ghana, Laos, Nepal, Vietnam).

6.1 LATAM concentration

• Colombia — dominant. Carbon-tax compliance demand keeps Colombian projects valuable; ~95% of 2025 Colombian retirements were tax retirements.
• Brazil, Mexico, Peru — second tier, mostly REDD+ and reforestation.
• Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia, Dominican Republic — present, smaller volumes.

6.2 Sector mix

• ~30% REDD+
• ~30% Reforestation/restoration/woody crops
• ~30% Renewable energy (a long tail of small Colombian solar/hydro)
• ~10% Other (waste, transport, ELV, biodiversity, blue carbon)

6.3 Top developers using Cercarbono

This is the hardest data to surface publicly because EcoRegistry’s project list is JS-rendered and Cercarbono does not publish a developer leaderboard. From press coverage and CDP filings:

• South Pole has used Cercarbono for some Colombian projects.
• ALLCOT Trading (Geneva/Bogotá) is an active Cercarbono developer & broker.
• Ecopetrol / Cenit / Promigas group entities have retired Cercarbono credits for tax compliance.
• Tabah Asia (Indonesia) — blue carbon partner co-developing CM-LU-CW-001.
• Malaysia Forest Fund — Jan 2026 MoU; not yet a credit issuer.

Building a high-fidelity developer leaderboard requires a one-shot scrape against EcoRegistry’s API once partner-onboarded.

7. Partnerships & integrations

BlueLayer–Puro template question: BlueLayer’s public stack is a project-developer OS — REST endpoints, webhooks, methodology-specific data templates, dMRV evidence workspace, integration to registries/CRMs/ERPs. They have a named Puro.earth dMRV template integration, and they integrate “with registries” generally, but as of April 2026 there is no public Cercarbono / EcoRegistry template from BlueLayer. This is a gap-in-market signal — see §10.

8. Key people & contact intel

(Public-facing only; no scraping; recommended outreach order in §10.)

Cercarbono

• Alex Saer — CEO. Most-quoted figure 2024–2026; preferred public spokesperson.
• Catalina Romero — Carbon Certification Director (technical sponsor for methodology integration discussions).
• Luisa Fernanda Lopera — Account Manager (commercial intake).
• Wei Mei Hum — Board, ex-ACX. Best warm-intro path for any platform with exchange/distribution angle.
• General contact: info@cercarbono.com.

EcoRegistry

• Juan David Durán Hernández — CEO. Co-quoted on every partnership announcement (Carbonmark, CUSIP, S&P, ACX). Required for any technical integration.
• Andrés Correa — Co-founder, board. Latin Checkout connection.
• LinkedIn: company page ecoregistry.

S&P Global Commodity Insights

• Jonty Rushforth — Head of Environmental Solutions.
• Dana Agrotti — Low Carbon Markets Lead Analyst.
• Public-facing contact form on energy.spglobal.com/meta-registry.html. No published email; route via “Speak to Sales” or via Cercarbono / EcoRegistry referral.

ACX

• Wei Mei Hum — alumna, now Cercarbono board (already covered).

ICVCM (for context, not direct outreach)

• Status updates on icvcm.org/assessment-status.

9. Comparative interop matrix

Bottom line: For a project-developer software vendor focused on LATAM, Cercarbono is the most accessible “Big Standard” while Verra is closing fast via the S&P deal and Gold Standard is opening via the IOTA workstream. Isometric and Puro are easiest technically but limited to durable CDR — they don’t help LATAM REDD+/ARR/agroforestry developers.

10. Partnership-pathway memo

10.1 Why Cercarbono is uniquely high-leverage for a LATAM project-side software

1. They actually return calls. Every quarter has a new named tech partnership (Carbonmark, CUSIP, Tabah Asia, MFF). Verra and Gold Standard do not move at this cadence.
2. The Meta Registry deal is a cheat code. One integration with Cercarbono via Meta Registry positions for Verra connectivity in 2026 without renegotiation — assuming S&P’s connectivity layer is as advertised.
3. Compliance demand is real. Colombian tax retirements absorb 95% of in-country issuance; that’s a structural anchor that doesn’t depend on voluntary-market sentiment.
4. No incumbent project-OS partner. BlueLayer has Puro and a Verra-flavored stack; no comparable software is tightly bound to Cercarbono / EcoRegistry. First-mover position is open.
5. The standard is in growth mode — 200 projects in 20 countries, but still small enough that a software partner who brings 30 new project developers is materially impactful (~15% portfolio growth).

10.2 What to propose (concretely)

A structured proposal in three layers:

1. Tech integration tier (must-have):

   • Read-only EcoRegistry partner API access with project metadata, issuance events, and retirement events.
   • Webhook on issuance and retirement (modeled on the BlueLayer pattern with Puro).
   • A “Cercarbono methodology template pack” inside the software (CM-LU-002 v3.1, M/LU-REDD+ v3.1, CM-WM-ELV-01, CM-LU-CW-001) for project setup / dMRV.
   • Token-delegation pattern so a project developer can authorize the software to file documents directly into EcoRegistry.

2. Co-marketing tier (mutually high-value, low-cost):

   • Joint case studies with the first 3 Colombian / Brazilian / Mexican developers.
   • Joint presence at Carbon Forum LATAM, COP31 (Brazil — was Australia originally; now confirmed Brazil for 2026), Innovate4Climate.
   • Cercarbono “preferred-software-partner” badge — analog to ICROA-Endorsed.

3. Methodology tier (long-term pull):

   • Co-develop a methodology where the software’s data structure is part of the MRV requirement (e.g. an ARR methodology that requires plot-polygon plus growth-curve data emitted in a defined schema). This is the moat: the methodology now hard-references your data model.
   • Precedent: Tabah Asia just did exactly this for blue carbon.

10.3 What Cercarbono likely wants in return

• Project flow. They monetize per project, per credit. They want more developers to start projects with Cercarbono first vs Verra.
• Compliance / integrity surface. ICVCM CCP and Cancún Safeguards both require strong MRV and stakeholder consultation evidence. If your software produces cleaner audit trails than spreadsheets and PDFs, that’s an integrity win.
• Geographic expansion outside LATAM. Asia and Africa flow is a stated priority (Malaysia, Indonesia partnerships).
• No surprises with regulators. Colombian Ministry of Environment, MinHacienda, and IDEAM all watch the carbon-tax compliance side; they will not partner with anyone whose business model could embarrass them.

10.4 Reference deals (commercial benchmarks)

• ACX (Jul 2023): no money disclosed; quid-pro-quo of mutual client referrals + listing.
• Xpansiv (Feb 2023): exchange-listing; not a software-partner deal.
• Carbonmark (Sept 2024): marketplace integration; no fee structure disclosed.
• CUSIP (Feb 2026): identifier-onboarding; no fee structure disclosed.

There is no public template for what a project-developer software pays Cercarbono. Reasonable opening posture: no rev share, free to Cercarbono, in exchange for preferred-partner badge and inclusion in their developer recommendations.

10.5 Red flags to watch for

• Exclusivity asks. Cercarbono will probably ask for category exclusivity (one project-OS partner). Counter with non-exclusive but with mutual best-efforts referrals.
• IP ownership of methodology data. Make sure software partner retains IP on customer data; Cercarbono may want broad rights to use it for “audit and integrity.” Limit to audit-only.
• Dependence on EcoRegistry uptime. EcoRegistry is one company on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. SLAs are not public. Bake an explicit uptime / breach-credit clause.
• ICVCM CCP outcome risk. If Cercarbono fails CCP eligibility in 2026–27, demand could compress; structure deal to survive that.
• Regulatory shifts in Colombia. The 2025 carbon-tax mechanism review (50% offset cap, 5-year vintage rule) could tighten further. Partnership terms should not assume the current compliance demand.

11. Pitch-deck outline (8–10 slides)

1. Cover / Why us, why now. “The project-developer OS for the next 1B tCO2e from LATAM.”
2. Market problem. LATAM has the highest-quality nature-based supply but the worst project-execution tooling. Manual MRV, PDF-driven validation, no shared data model. Cite EM 2025 LATAM market share + Cercarbono’s 200-project growth.
3. Software solution. End-to-end project lifecycle: design → FPIC → baseline → MRV → validation packet → registry submission → issuance → retirement. Show the Cercarbono methodology templates as native primitives.
4. Integration ask. Three-layer: (a) EcoRegistry partner API, (b) Cercarbono “preferred-partner” badge, (c) Joint methodology in 2026 (proposed: a Latin-American agroforestry methodology that bakes in our schema).
5. Mutual value. For Cercarbono: more projects, faster certification, cleaner audit trail, ICVCM-friendly data lineage. For us: distribution + standard-anchored moat.
6. References & traction. Pilot developers (3 named), volume, methodology coverage. Mention Wei Mei Hum / ACX / S&P relationships in our network.
7. Comparative landscape. BlueLayer / Sylvera / Pachama positioning chart — show we’re the only project-OS specialized in Cercarbono / LATAM.
8. Timeline. Q2 26: API onboarding; Q3 26: badge + first 5 case studies; Q4 26: joint methodology consultation; Q1 27: Meta-Registry expansion to Verra.
9. Governance & integrity. How we comply with Cancún Safeguards, FPIC, and ICVCM data lineage requirements.
10. Ask. Named contacts (Saer / Romero / Lopera + Durán). Specific deliverables in 60 / 120 / 180 days.

12. Risks & open questions

1. EcoRegistry API spec is not public. We do not know rate limits, transactional semantics under partial failures, idempotency keys, supported retirement metadata fields. Must be pulled in NDA.
2. Cercarbono–EcoRegistry contractual relationship. Is EcoRegistry exclusive registry for Cercarbono in perpetuity, or could Cercarbono migrate? Press releases imply long-term but no public contract terms. Worth asking — affects vendor risk.
3. Meta Registry concrete capabilities. Marketing speaks to “connect once, connect to many” but as of April 2026 only Cercarbono is publicly live; Verra integration is staged through 2026. Real cross-registry transfer/retire across both is unproven.
4. ICVCM CCP outcome. Pending; affects credit pricing power.
5. Article 6.4 LoA pathway. Unclear which Cercarbono methodologies (if any) Colombia / Brazil / Peru host countries will authorize for ITMOs. Conservative: assume zero for 2026.
6. Fee/revenue share with software partners. No public benchmark; pure inference.
7. Data ownership norms. Cercarbono’s safeguarding update (2024) and CBCP both touch on data sharing for audit; precise scope not yet codified for software-partner data.
8. BlueLayer competitive entry. Their methodology-template pattern + dMRV workspace + REST/webhooks stack could replicate this play for Cercarbono in months. Speed matters.
9. Brazilian and Mexican local political environment. Both countries are increasingly assertive about jurisdictional control of REDD+ revenues, which could push developers toward government-aligned standards over Cercarbono.
10. Cercarbono reputation events. REDD+ over-issuance allegations (à la 2023 Verra coverage) have not hit Cercarbono publicly, but the structural risk is similar. Plan integrity dashboards for the partner-portal.
