Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

How to Compute Carbon Credits ?

 


 

Article link: Read more

Extract from the article:

 

India has taken a proactive step by forming a committee to address the challenges posed by the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

 

This committee comprises representatives from key ministries and industries. The focus is on tackling issues related to the monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of embedded emission calculations. India is exploring various approaches to effectively manage the impact of the CBAM regulations.

 

The article underscores India's efforts to engage with the EU on obtaining recognition for its carbon credit certification system.

 

By seeking acknowledgment for its certification system, India aims to mitigate the additional tariffs that the EU plans to impose on carbon-intensive products under the CBAM starting from January 2026.

 

The establishment of a Carbon Trading System in India, coupled with initiatives like the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Bill and the proposed Indian Carbon Market Governing Board, demonstrates India's commitment to address environmental challenges and align with international norms.

 

My Take:


Can We Rise to EU Challenge?

 

"Reflecting on India's current endeavors to gain EU recognition for its carbon credit certification system, I am reminded of my earlier blog where I emphasized the importance of establishing a robust framework for carbon trading.

 

 

The steps taken by India align closely with my recommendations from years ago. It's heartening to witness the nation's proactive stance in preparing for the implications of CBAM regulations."

 

Dear Shri R.K. Singhji, Power Be With You

 

"In my previous blog, I highlighted the significance of creating a designated agency for the issuance of Carbon Credit Certificates, a move that seems to be in sync with India's current actions.

 

As India aims to secure exemptions for MSMEs from the EU's carbon tax and streamline its Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, the government's efforts resonate with the solutions I proposed earlier.

 

The commitment to environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance is evident in the ongoing dialogue with the EU."


Call to Action:

 

To the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change in India ;

 

-       I urge the Ministry to continue fostering collaboration with the EU to ensure the smooth recognition of India's carbon credit certification system.

-        

-       It is imperative to advocate for exemptions for MSMEs and establish a robust framework for the Carbon Trading System, enhancing India's position in the global sustainability landscape.
