Project Story
This project involves the deployment of a solar thermal system at the Naturex Maroc SA facility in Casablanca, Morocco, to supply heat for various production processes including extraction, rectification, and drying. The system comprises 172 parabolic trough collectors covering a total aperture area of 946 m², integrated with a solar central, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and tracking systems. The aim is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower operational costs, and demonstrate sustainable energy solutions for industrial applications. The project includes detailed engineering, installation, and operation plans, with a focus on maximizing solar heat utilization and environmental benefits.

India Carbon Credit Trading Scheme CCTS · phased-live · first session mid-2026
India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) is the country's new domestic compliance carbon market, operated under a three-body structure: MoEFCC notifies sector intensity targets (via the Environment Protection Act 1986), BEE administers the scheme + issues Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) + operates the registry, and CERC regulates trading on accredited power exchanges. The scheme covers 9 sectors, ~740 obligated entities, and ~700 Mt CO₂e — roughly 16% of India's emissions.
Covered sectors
Aluminium · Cement · Chlor-alkali · Paper & Pulp · Petrochemical · Petroleum Refinery · Textile (Iron & Steel and Fertiliser — notification status as of April 2026 unconfirmed). Power generation is NOT in Phase 1 — a notable gap.
Trading venues & settlement
Order-book trading on IEX / HPX / PXIL (all CERC-accredited). MCX is NOT accredited. Settlement in INR. Indicative price band ~₹800–1,200/t (no gazetted floor/ceiling yet). First trading session expected mid-2026.
Sources: ICAP ETS Map · BEE notifications (Oct 2025 / Jan 2026) · CERC accredited-venues list · IETA India CCTS Business Brief (July 2025).
CCC vs CCC-V vs EScert — what each is, who issues, who trades
Indian project developers have three routes. Which one fits depends on whether the host entity is CCTS-obligated, whether the buyer needs international claim credibility, and how much legacy-PAT exposure sits on the balance sheet.
CCC — Compliance INDIC
- Issued by: BEE against sector intensity target
- Traded on: IEX · HPX · PXIL (INR)
- Eligible: CCTS-obligated entity outperforming target
- Foreign claim value: ❌ Not without Article 6 corresponding adjustment
CCC-V — Voluntary LIVE
- Issued by: BEE voluntary mechanism (launched March 2025)
- Methodologies: 8 at v1 release
- Eligible: Non-obligated Indian project developers
- Alternative to: Verra / Gold Standard international voluntary
EScert — Legacy LEGACY
- Scheme: PAT (2012–2024), winding down
- Throughput: 1.5M of 3.8M ESCerts Cycle I traded (poor)
- Migration: Surplus convertible to CCC at a to-be-gazetted ratio
- Owner action: Track surplus for the conversion opportunity
A project cannot issue BOTH a VCU (international voluntary) AND a CCC (Indian compliance) from the same tCO₂e reduction — buyer-side claims would clash. When a host is CCTS-obligated, the tCO₂e must be attributed to either the compliance ledger or the voluntary ledger. TenzaOne's Scope 3 Export flags this automatically via its doubleCountingRisk field.

India CCTS & SDG Synergies
- SDG 13: Climate Action — domestic compliance cap mobilises ~700 Mt CO₂e of industrial abatement against sector intensity targets.
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure — 9 hard-to-abate sectors (cement / aluminium / chlor-alkali / petchem / steel / textile / refinery) directly incentivised to decarbonise.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities — supports cleaner industrial clusters and PM/NOx co-reductions alongside CO₂.
- SDG 7: (CCC-V track) — voluntary mechanism adds domestic route for clean-energy projects below compliance threshold.
TenzaOne positioning: dMRV is ACV-Agency-compatible and registry-complementary, NEVER a registry replacement. DePIN telemetry supplies underlying M&V evidence; ACV Agencies verify and sign; BEE issues. The blockchain anchor adds auditable provenance the ACV process can optionally cite. CCTS explicitly encourages dMRV as best practice even though it does not mandate it.

VCS Readiness Assessment
Summary
The project demonstrates comprehensive technical documentation, including detailed GHG quantification, monitoring plans, and stakeholder engagement. However, gaps remain in safeguards, risk assessments, and explicit baseline and emissions data, which are critical for VCS validation. Overall, the project is approaching readiness but requires targeted improvements to meet full VCS compliance.
