India CCTS Carbon Verification & Compliance

This comprehensive course equips professionals with the technical knowledge and practical skills required to navigate India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) and the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). Covering the full lifecycle of carbon verification in India — from GHG Emission Intensity (GEI) target-setting for 740+ designated consumers across 13 sectors, through MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) requirements under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act 2022, to the issuance and trading of Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) — this course provides the regulatory grounding and methodological rigour that compliance officers, verifiers, and sustainability professionals need. You will learn about BEE-accredited verification bodies, the role of the Indian Carbon Market (ICM), GEI benchmarks by sector, offset mechanisms under the compliance and voluntary market segments, reporting templates prescribed by BEE, and the penalty framework for non-compliance. Real-world examples from energy-intensive sectors — thermal power, cement, iron & steel, aluminium, and fertilisers — illustrate how verification engagements are structured and executed in practice.
