What is Carbon Credit Accounting?
Carbon credit accounting is a systematic approach to track, measure, and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the reductions achieved by your business or project. Each carbon credit represents one metric ton of CO₂ or its equivalent GHG emissions either avoided or removed from the atmosphere. Businesses can use these credits to offset their carbon footprint, trade on carbon markets, or meet mandatory or voluntary compliance goals.
Why Carbon Credit Accounting Matters
• Unlocks new revenue opportunities from carbon trading and offsets. • Demonstrates climate leadership to investors, regulators, and customers. • Ensures regulatory compliance with Indian and global carbon standards. • Supports sustainable growth and corporate social responsibility (CSR) targets. • Facilitates entry into international supply chains prioritizing low-carbon suppliers. • Enables precise monitoring, verification, and transparency for sustainability reports.
Key Approaches to Carbon Credit Accounting
• Emission Inventories: Collect and analyze emission data across operations, logistics, and supply chains. • Activity Data & Emission Factors: Calculate emissions per activity (e.g., fuel use, production, logistics) using approved emission factors. • Bottom-Up Analysis: Track emissions at the source – ideal for manufacturing and industrial setups. • Top-Down Approach: Estimate emissions from wider organizational or national data. • Remote Sensing & Satellite Tools: Leverage satellite data for land use, deforestation, and afforestation tracking. • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Assess emissions and impacts at every stage of your product or service. • Carbon Offsetting & Removals: Quantify and account for reductions via renewable energy, reforestation, or carbon capture initiatives.
