Welcome to BharatCarbonMarket.com. We are a dedicated educational hub designed to guide obligated entities, project developers, and the public through the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS).
Trading functionality will be enabled once appropriate regulatory certifications are obtained.
Established under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022, the ICM provides a unified platform for trading carbon credits through two distinct mechanisms managed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
Interactive guide to how Carbon Credits flow under the scheme.
Entity develops a project (e.g., Solar Farm) aligned with CCTS methodologies.
ACV Agency assesses the project design document against standards.
BEE/NSC-ICM registers the project. It is now active in the ICM database.
Entity monitors emissions reductions periodically for verification.
Obligated entity performs below target, or offset project yields reductions.
Bureau of Energy Efficiency issues digital Carbon Credit Certificates based on verified data.
Credits can be traded, sold, or banked for future compliance cycles.
One Carbon Credit Certificate represents the avoidance or removal of one metric tonne of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent.
ACV Agency analyzes the entity's GHG inventory and monitoring plan.
Team leads inspect facilities and validate data trails on the ground.
An independent reviewer validates the report before issuance.
Projects across these 10 sectors are eligible for registration under the Offset Mechanism.
Green Hydrogen, RE Storage, Offshore Wind.

BharatCarbonMarket.com is currently an educational concept. We are dedicated to training and guiding stakeholders on the nuances of the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme.
We are not currently accepting registrations or facilitating trades. The market trading features will be loaded and made available only after we receive appropriate regulatory certifications and approvals from the Central Government and BEE.
Use this website to understand sectors, targets, and verification processes before the market opens.
Full trading functionality, account management, and credit loading are in development.
