Market Activity
Two Service Pillars
RSustain Carbon focuses exclusively on carbon compliance and export readiness for Indian industry.
EU definitive phase live from January 2026. Indian exporters of steel, cement, aluminium, fertiliser, and hydrogen must provide embedded emissions data to EU importers. UK CBAM effective January 2027.
- Embedded emissions calculation (direct + indirect)
- CBAM communication preparation for EU declarants
- Duty exposure modelling (3 ETS price scenarios)
GHG emission intensity targets are notified for 490 obligated entities in aluminium, cement, chlor-alkali, pulp & paper, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, textiles and secondary aluminium, with binding targets for compliance years 2025-26 and 2026-27 (baseline FY 2023-24). We help obligated entities track performance against targets, build MRV and evidence packs, and plan their carbon credit certificate position.
- MRV system design (ISO 14064-aligned)
- GHG baseline and boundary documentation
- GreenSetu carbon risk screening
GreenSetu — Carbon Risk Screening Platform
Screen any Indian entity by GSTIN for carbon exposure. CBAM export risk and sector-level emissions intensity — powered by EXIOBASE I-O modelling integrated with Indian energy datasets. CCTS obligated-entity check — coming soon.
Who This Is For
- CBAM-exposed steel, cement, aluminium, fertiliser manufacturers
- Obligated entities under CCTS and companies expecting coverage in future notifications
- Project developers building MRV capability
- Net-zero and compliance-aligned portfolios
- Procurement teams seeking integrity-first supply
- Institutions needing defensible documentation
Carbon Market Intelligence — Quick Answers
India’s compliance carbon market under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, 2023. Emission intensity targets were notified in October 2025 (aluminium, cement, chlor-alkali, pulp & paper — 282 entities) and January 2026 (petroleum refining, petrochemicals, textiles, secondary aluminium — 208 entities), bringing the total to 490 obligated entities. An offset mechanism allows non-obligated entities to register projects.
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requires importers to pay for embedded emissions in imported goods. Indian steel, cement, aluminium, fertiliser, and hydrogen exporters must provide emissions data to EU declarants.
MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) is the evidence backbone of carbon claims. Strong MRV reduces integrity risk, improves buyer confidence, and supports audit-grade documentation.
