What is CCTS and how does it work?

The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme is India's domestic carbon market for obligated entities in hard-to-abate sectors. It establishes emission intensity targets and allows trading of carbon credits to meet compliance obligations.

How do you evaluate carbon credit quality?

We assess credits across additionality, permanence, leakage risk, co-benefits, and verification standards. Our due diligence framework helps you avoid reputational risks associated with low-quality credits.

Do you help with Article 6 carbon credits?

Yes. We advise on ITMO procurement, corresponding adjustments, and Article 6.2/6.4 mechanisms for companies seeking internationally recognized carbon credits.
