What carbon trading means
A market for paying for verified climate action.
Carbon trading connects organisations that need to manage emissions with projects that reduce or remove emissions. The goal is to make climate action measurable, verified, and financially useful.
Projects create supply
Renewable energy, energy efficiency, waste, forestry, bioenergy, and removal projects may generate credits.
Verification builds trust
Credits need documentation, monitoring, validation, and registry records before buyers can trust them.
Trading gives value
Once credits are verified, buyers and sellers need a clear place to discover, compare, and transact in rupees.
India context
India is building a formal carbon market.
India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme is designed around Carbon Credit Certificates. The market includes compliance needs for obligated entities and an offset route for wider participation as rules mature.
Carbon Encash for India
The first version should be a simple guidance layer: explain credit types, show rupee examples, collect buyer and project interest, and prepare users for verified listings.
01
Measure emissions
Companies and projects first need reliable activity data and emission calculations.
02
Reduce or remove
Eligible actions can include cleaner energy, efficiency, waste reduction, nature, or removals.
03
Verify and issue credits
Credits need approved methods, validation, monitoring, and registry records.
04
Buy, sell, retire, or surrender
Credits can support compliance obligations or be retired for a climate claim.
