Description

India’s Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) published the draft Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity Target Rules, 2025 under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), setting benchmarks for sectors such as steel, aluminium, and cement, and requiring firms to buy or trade carbon credits based on their emissions performance, with penalties for non-compliance. The IFP project supports the decarbonisation of Indian industries, including the steel and cement sectors, for example, by preparing a Techno-Commercial Feasibility (TCF) study to assist the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) in reducing emission intensity in steel production and by supporting the development of low-carbon cement.
