Five categories. Never co-mingled.
CRIOS is not a single token. It is a family of category-segregated tokens, each backed by a specific abatement methodology. CRIOS-RE is live in pilot on testnet; the rest are roadmap items with methodology work outstanding.
Abatement from metered renewable generation. kWh-based, adjusted by the official grid displacement factor.
Abatement from metered efficiency improvements: building retrofits, industrial processes, HVAC.
Abatement from electric vehicle charging, calculated from metered charging data and grid displacement factors.
Reforestation and avoided-deforestation credits, with provenance preserved from the issuing programme.
Engineered carbon removals: direct air capture, mineralization, biochar.
Testnet issuance — no tokens are for sale and no funds settle.

Category rollout.
Brazil first: official grid displacement factors are published there, which is what makes metered CRIOS-RE issuance possible. Additional categories and markets open one at a time, only once an equivalent official factor and a metering partner exist. No registries are named and no launch dates are set until that groundwork is in place.
