DiDi/99 Launches Carbon Credit Program at the 2nd Sustainable Mobility Alliance Forum 

The second edition of the Sustainable Mobility Alliance Forum brought together the leading names in electromobility in Brazil to discuss advancements and challenges in the sector. The coalition, led by DiDi/99, announced the Carbon Credit Program, an initiative in partnership with Osten and BVM12, aimed at generating benefits for the platform’s partner drivers through CO₂ emissions reduction.

The process of generating carbon credits will occur in stages. First, the program will operate exclusively using vehicles provided by Osten. In this phase, the vehicles’ trip data (such as mileage and energy consumption) will be stored using telemetry equipment, with installation and operation validated by IturanMob.

In the second phase, the collected data will be analyzed and converted into credits.

The process will be conducted using a methodology developed in Brazil in collaboration with a national certification body and supported by blockchain technology, ensuring the integrity and traceability of the information.

The 2024 report presented by 99 brings impressive figures for the sector: over R$ 280 million invested in two and a half years, enabling the platform to complete more than 7.5 million trips in electric and hybrid vehicles, carrying a total of 11 million passengers. The platform has already registered over 8,500 "clean" vehicles in the app.

“These numbers reflect 99’s commitment to leading the transition toward cleaner and more accessible mobility in Brazil,” says Thiago Hipólito, Senior Director of Innovation at 99.

Also at the Forum, 99 celebrated the arrival of new members to the Sustainable Mobility Alliance: Vammo and Riba, which will focus on the development and integration of electric motorcycles.
