Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 10: India Carbon Credit Trading Scheme Deep-Dive with Saurabh Diddi

Q: How does CCTS handle scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, and is there a plan for absolute caps?

CCTS covers 100% of scope 1 and 2 emissions; scope 3 is partially included in specific cases like intermediate products and purchases; there are currently no absolute emission caps, with a growth-oriented trajectory and potential future shifts contemplated.

Episode 10: India Carbon Credit Trading Scheme Deep-Dive with Saurabh Diddi

Q: What are the draft targets of the CCTS and how does it fit into India's broader climate and energy strategies?

Draft targets focus on emission intensity reductions across eight sectors, aligned with India's 45% reduction in emission intensity as part of its NDC; there is space for voluntary action in the market, and potential international linkages via Article 6 while avoiding double counting with the existing schemes.

Episode 10: India Carbon Credit Trading Scheme Deep-Dive with Saurabh Diddi

Q: Can you briefly explain that PAT scheme and how did India's experience with that inform the CCTS?

PAT started in 2012 with industry targets expressed in energy savings per unit of product, scaling from a few hundred units to over a thousand; it delivered significant energy savings and provided a rich MRV data history that informed the transition to CCTS, including learning how to structure MRV, targets, and data collection.

Episode 8: Washington State Cap-and-Invest Program Deep-Dive with Joel Creswell and Isaac Kastama

Q: What are the main opportunities and challenges of linking Washington with California and Quebec?

Linkage promises greater emissions reductions at lower, more stable costs through larger markets and economies of scale, while simplifying compliance for multi-state operations; challenges include aligning regulatory details, maintaining program control over key design features, and ensuring that all jurisdictions benefit.

Episode 8: Washington State Cap-and-Invest Program Deep-Dive with Joel Creswell and Isaac Kastama

Q: What has made the Washington program particularly successful?

The program combines broad coverage with clear use of proceeds, transparent reporting, and a broad political coalition, including business and labor, environmental NGOs, and tribal communities, which helped sustain public support and drive tangible investments even amid political headwinds.
