India's Carbon Capture and Trading System: Driving Sustainable Development and Emission Reduction
Key Ideas
  • Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) in India has unveiled sectors approved under the Carbon Capture and Trading System (CCTS) to lower carbon emissions and promote sustainable development.
  • The CCTS will roll out in phases, targeting six sectors initially, including energy, industries, waste management, agriculture, forestry, and transport, focusing on technologies like green hydrogen production and afforestation.
  • The second phase will incorporate four additional sectors like construction and carbon capture, with a goal to boost India's carbon market and reduce emissions through innovative technologies and market effectiveness.
  • Stakeholders, including Manish Dabkara, see this initiative as a positive step towards capturing a significant share of domestic carbon credit supply and call for additional policies to enhance demand and encourage innovation in the carbon market.
In a significant move towards achieving India's climate goals, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has introduced the sectors approved under the Carbon Capture and Trading System (CCTS). This initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions and drive sustainable development in the country. The CCTS will be implemented in phases, starting with six key sectors such as energy, industries, waste management, agriculture, forestry, and transport. Technologies highlighted for emissions reduction include green hydrogen production, green ammonia usage, biochar utilization, and afforestation. The second phase of the CCTS will expand to include four more sectors like construction and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). This expansion aims to further enhance the carbon market in India and promote the adoption of innovative technologies for emission reduction. Stakeholders, including Manish Dabkara from EKI Energy Services, view this development positively, anticipating a growth in India's carbon market and emphasizing the need for additional policies to stimulate demand and foster innovation. With the establishment of the offset framework, India is expected to strengthen its position in the global carbon credit market and advance its efforts towards emission reduction. This strategic move aligns with India's commitment to combat climate change and signifies a step forward in promoting sustainable practices and driving environmental progress.
