Compliance Foundation Program
Carbon Market Foundation Program
CBAM is now in its definitive period and CCTS is taking shape at home. Build a working command of carbon accounting, carbon credits, and the two frameworks reshaping trade and disclosure for Indian business — in two focused evening sessions.
Why this can’t wait?
CBAM
The EU is charging for carbon at the border
The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism has moved past its transitional phase into a definitive period, requiring importers of steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, and electricity to buy certificates against embedded emissions. Indian exporters in these sectors now need verified, defensible emissions data to keep pricing competitive and contracts intact.
CCTS
India is building its own carbon market
The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, run under the Energy Conservation Act framework, is India’s domestic mechanism for pricing and trading carbon reductions — sitting alongside and eventually linking to schemes like PAT. Understanding how obligations, credits, and verification work here is becoming as important as export compliance.
In the news right now
Jan 2026
CBAM’s definitive period takes effect.
Following two years of reporting-only obligations, the European Commission’s implementing acts brought CBAM’s certificate and verification requirements into force on 1 January 2026—the first annual surrender falls due 30 September 2027.
Jan 2026
CCTS coverage widens to ~490 entities
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified emission intensity targets for petroleum refining, petrochemicals, and textiles, extending India’s Carbon Credit Trading Scheme to seven sectors and roughly 490 obligated entities.
Jul 2026
First CCTS compliance filings fall due
Obligated entities under the scheme must submit their first compliance filings by 31 July 2026, with exchange-based trading of carbon credit certificates expected to follow in the second half of the year.
Ongoing, 2026
CBAM and CCTS are being linked
Policy analysts point to CBAM’s built-in provision for crediting a carbon price paid in the country of origin — meaning a credible domestic price under CCTS could reduce what Indian exporters would otherwise pay at the EU border.

Carbon Accounting & GHG Protocol: The Fundamentals
A) What is carbon accounting?
Carbon accounting is the process of measuring and reporting the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions an organisation produces. It gives businesses a factual baseline — how much carbon they emit, from which activities, and where reductions are possible. As regulators, investors, and customers increasingly demand emissions transparency, carbon accounting has moved from a voluntary practice to a core business requirement in India and globally.
B) What are Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions?
The GHG Protocol—the global standard for emissions measurement—categorizes emissions into three scopes:
- Scope 1 — Direct emissions from sources your organization owns or controls, such as fuel combustion in company vehicles or on-site machinery.
- Scope 2—Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, or heat that your organization consumes.
- Scope 3—All other indirect emissions across your value chain—from supplier activity, employee commuting, business travel, and product end-of-life.
Most organizations find that Scope 3 accounts for the largest share of their total footprint, yet it is the hardest to measure accurately.
C) Why does this matter for Indian businesses right now?
SEBI’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) framework now requires listed companies to disclose GHG emissions. Accurate Scope 1 and 2 reporting is mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies, with Scope 3 disclosures increasingly expected. Getting carbon accounting right is no longer optional — it directly affects regulatory compliance, investor ESG ratings, and supply chain eligibility for global clients.
