For twenty years India supplied credits to buyers abroad and had no domestic obligation of its own. The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme is now building one, BRSR already binds the largest listed companies, and EPR reaches anyone who puts packaging on the market. Eighty-eight days to the accounting, the project work, the certification pathways, the trading mechanics and the compliance calendar that this work actually runs on.

For people who need to work in the carbon market, not just have an opinion about it.
A stack of webinars, a vocabulary of acronyms, and no idea what the day-to-day work of a carbon professional actually consists of.
You can build a GHG inventory, read a methodology, judge an additionality claim, and explain to a client exactly which of their obligations is real and which is optional.
Biogas, cookstoves, agroforestry or a rooftop portfolio — and a vague sense that it might generate credits, with no way to test that.
Additionality tested, baseline quantified, monitoring plan drafted, PDD assembled, and project economics modelled before you spend money on a validator.
A BRSR deadline, a CDP questionnaire, a customer asking for Scope 3 data, and a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
One inventory built to GHG Protocol that feeds BRSR, CDP and target-setting, plus a compliance calendar covering consents, EPR and returns.
Real demand visible in the market, but no service definition, no pricing, no delivery methodology and no way to sound credible in a first meeting.
A chosen model and niche, defined offerings, a pricing and financial plan, a delivery method, and a policy-tracking habit that keeps the advice current.
Fifteen modules, from the physics under the price to running a carbon business — the science, the accounting, the project work, the two certification pathways, the trading, the finance, the disclosure regimes, and India’s own compliance rules.
Built for founders who need decision-ready tools, not passive reading.
Roughly one per lesson — CO2e and Scope 1/2/3 calculators, an additionality tester, a PDD builder, a methodology selector, credit pricing and ERPA term-sheet builders, a CCTS obligation simulator, EPR estimators and a compliance calendar builder. Eighty-six save what you enter to your account; the other three are reference explorers you read rather than fill in.
GHG Protocol end to end: organisational boundaries, Scope 1, Scope 2 by both the location-based and market-based methods, all fifteen Scope 3 categories screened and prioritised, India-specific emission factors, and the footprint report a client actually pays for.
Verra VCS and Gold Standard for the Global Goals covered separately and compared — methodology selection, validation, registration, verification and issuance, SDG impact and safeguarding, plus the decision of which standard a given project should use.
The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, how an obligated entity's GHG emission-intensity target translates into a compliance position and a trade, and the services a carbon business can sell into it — alongside PCB consents, plastic EPR, e-waste and battery EPR and the returns calendar.
Documents you fill in and hand over, not screenshots of somebody else’s finished work — inventory and organisational-boundary workbooks, project-development paperwork from additionality and baseline through monitoring plans and the PDD, contracting and due-diligence checklists, target-setting and disclosure gap assessments, and compliance trackers.
This rulebook moves. Access runs a year so you can come back when the CCTS notifications land, when your first project reaches validation, or when a BRSR cycle starts.
Real lessons from the course, opening exactly as they open in the product, with the outcomes each one declares.
But every rupee in the carbon economy ultimately traces back to a small set of physical facts about how the Earth’s atmosphere works. When a verifier rejects your project’s additionality argument, when a buyer’s due-diligence team challenges your baseline, when a journalist asks whether your renewable-energy credits are "real" — the conversation always collapses back to physics…
For most of India’s carbon history, an Indian project developer had to look abroad — to international corporate buyers — to sell credits, because there was no domestic obligation to buy them. The CCTS changes that. It creates a class of Indian companies that are legally required to manage their carbon position, and that requirement is the foundation of a domestic carbon services industry…
Scope 3 is also the hardest scope to account for, because the data sits outside the company — in suppliers’ factories, in logistics providers’ fleets, in customers’ use of the product. This is exactly where the accuracy–completeness judgement you learned on Day 6 becomes a real, billable skill. A professional does not throw up their hands at Scope 3’s difficulty, nor do they fake precision…
Additionality answers a deceptively simple question: would this emission reduction have happened anyway, without the carbon credit revenue? If the answer is yes — the project would have gone ahead regardless — then the credits are not real reductions; they are payments for something that was happening anyway…
But a project design, however excellent, generates no credits until it is certified by a recognised standard and listed on a registry. Module 4 takes you through that certification process under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), run by Verra — the largest voluntary carbon registry in the world and the one most Indian voluntary projects use…
There are two related tasks today. The first is pricing a specific credit — putting a per-tonne figure on a credit based on its attributes and the comparable market. The second is valuing a pipeline — putting a present value on a stream of future credits a project will generate, using discounted cashflow…
BRSR is India’s mandatory sustainability reporting framework for the largest listed companies, requiring them to disclose their environmental, social, and governance performance in a structured, standardised format. It is the single most consequential sustainability-disclosure requirement in India…
Today we cross into a different logic: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), where the legal duty to manage waste is placed on the producer of the product, not the place where the waste finally arises. Under EPR, a company that puts plastic packaging into the Indian market becomes responsible for ensuring an equivalent quantity is collected and processed at end of life…
Traditional MRV relies on manual field visits, sample-based measurements, and paper documentation — processes that are slow, expensive, and prone to error. Digital MRV replaces or augments these with technology — remote sensing, IoT sensors, machine learning, and blockchain — to create continuous, transparent, and cost-effective monitoring…
Eight capabilities the course is built to leave you with.
Why it matters: Set organisational boundaries, account for Scope 1, Scope 2 under both the location-based and market-based methods, and screen all fifteen Scope 3 categories with India-specific emission factors — then assemble the footprint report that a client, an auditor or a disclosure cycle consumes.
Why it matters: Test additionality, interrogate a baseline, read a monitoring plan and score credit quality — the skill that lets you evaluate anyone’s project, including your own, before money or reputation is committed.
Why it matters: Select a project category, quantify the baseline, design the monitoring, run stakeholder consultation, assess SDG co-benefits and model the economics — assembled into a Project Design Document. Whether a validator or registry accepts it is their decision, not something a course can promise.
Why it matters: Work inside the Verra VCS rulebook and the Gold Standard for the Global Goals requirements — methodology selection, validation, registration, verification and issuance, SDG impact and safeguarding — and choose deliberately between them for a given project.
Why it matters: Read the supply-and-demand forces behind a price, value a credit and a pipeline using comparables and DCF, structure an ERPA or offtake agreement, and identify the delivery, price and counterparty risks that sit inside a carbon deal.
Why it matters: Explain how the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme creates regulation-backed domestic demand, model an obligated entity's position against its GHG emission-intensity target, and identify the services that position creates demand for.
Why it matters: Match a project to the right instrument — green bonds, climate funds, blended finance, sustainability-linked loans, or carbon revenue integrated into project finance — and work the REC and I-REC markets alongside corporate renewable procurement.
Why it matters: Prepare SEBI BRSR (including BRSR Core), climate risk disclosure now carried into the ISSB standards, and CDP from one data system, alongside PCB consents, hazardous waste, plastic EPR and e-waste and battery EPR — with returns, renewals and records on a calendar rather than in memory.
Indicative market rates for the work this course teaches you to do in-house. Ranges vary widely by scope, sector and firm — treat them as a comparison, not a quote.
What founders pay for this, piece by piece
Price is inclusive. No GST is charged.
Carbon is one of the fastest-moving rulebooks in India. The Carbon Credit Trading Scheme is still being built out through notifications, BRSR requirements keep expanding, EPR targets and category rules are revised regularly, registry methodologies are retired and replaced, and international climate reporting has consolidated — TCFD's work now sits inside the ISSB standards. The course teaches the decision and the method, and points you to the official source for the live number.
Prices, cost ranges and market figures quoted anywhere in this course are illustrative and directional, not benchmarks or forecasts. Nothing here is legal, financial, tax or investment advice, and nothing here is a promise of earnings, of credits being issued, or of a certification outcome — those rest with regulators, validators, registries and buyers. Verify the current position on the official source (BEE, MoEFCC, CPCB and your State Pollution Control Board, CERC, SEBI, Verra, Gold Standard) or with a qualified professional before acting.
Eighty-eight days from acronyms to a GHG inventory you can defend, a project you can assess, a credit you can price, and a compliance calendar you can run.
