Carbon and green credits

Climate action that adds up.

Corporates reach carbon-credit companies whose registry projects we have checked. Volunteers earn Green Points for the trees they plant and the waste they clear. NGOs get the evidence pack a Green Credit application needs.

For corporates

Search companies by standard (Verra, Gold Standard, India's CCTS offsets, the Green Credit Programme) and project type, and send enquiries from your CSR workspace. Record every credit you retire, by registry serial, in one ESG ledger with your employees' green volunteering.

For volunteers

Every confirmed sapling, kilo of waste and hour on a green drive earns Green Points on your dashboard and Impact Passport, with a CO₂ estimate for trees. Green Points are recognition: they can't be sold, traded or used to offset emissions.

For NGOs

Plantation drives keep geo-tagged, fingerprinted photos, sapling counts per volunteer and survival checks in one Green Credit evidence pack, ready for your own application under India's Green Credit Programme.

How carbon credits work in India

Registries issue credits. Cosmias connects and records.

  • Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS): compliance credits for obliged industries and an offset mechanism for registered projects, run by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
  • Green Credit Programme: green credits for activities such as tree plantation on enlisted land, evaluated and registered by ICFRE for the Ministry of Environment.
  • Voluntary standards: Verra, Gold Standard and others issue credits for projects in India that companies buy for voluntary net-zero goals.
