India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS)
An integrated solution for CCTS calculation, verification, submission and carbon credits.
What is CCTS in India?
Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) is India’s national carbon market, launched under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022. It lets companies earn or buy Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) based on their emissions performance.
It is managed by the Ministry of Power (MoP) and administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is an initiative by the European Union to combat climate change by imposing a carbon price on imports from countries with less stringent environmental regulations.
