Is your company covered by India's carbon market?
Tamil Nadu has plants in several sectors covered by India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, including cement, textiles and petroleum refining. Plants in these sectors have emission-intensity targets and can earn or must buy Carbon Credit Certificates. See how carbon trading works in India.
How to choose a carbon partner
- Check the registry entry (Verra, Gold Standard or India's Grid-India registry) for every credit.
- Ask which approved methodology the project uses and who verified it.
- For tree and soil projects, ask for site-level data: maps, photos and survival records.
- Keep CSR and carbon claims separate.
