Carbon Accounting as a Service (CAaaS)

As the world accelerates its transition towards a sustainable and carbon-neutral future, businesses face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon emissions. In this global context, the European Union's (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) looms as a significant challenge for Indian industries, particularly in sectors like cement, electricity, fertilizers,Iron & steel, Aluminium and Hydrogen.CBAM aims to level the playing field by taxing imports based on their carbon footprint. In the face of these challenges, a pioneering solution is emerging, poised to transform the way Indian businesses navigate the complexities of carbon management: Carbon Accounting as a Service (CAaaS).
