CCTS compliance, compiled.

FusionCarbon turns the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme's procedures — every equation, form and deadline — into software your plants can run. Built clause-by-clause on the BEE computation procedure and the gazetted target rules, so every number traces back to the line of law it came from.

31 JUL 2026
First-ever CCTS compliance filing

Cement, aluminium, chlor-alkali and pulp & paper entities file Forms A–D and Form 1 — verified by an accredited carbon verification agency — for the first time. Under the scheme, a shortfall against target costs environmental compensation at twice the average carbon credit price, per tonne.

Objection window closes on draft targets

Draft targets for 2026-27 are on the table now, set against your 2023-24 baseline. The sixty-day objection window is the only moment to contest a baseline you will live with for the whole trajectory — an objection without recomputation is an opinion; with it, a case.

PART II — PLATFORM

Regulation as code.

Consultants read the rulebook for you. FusionCarbon compiles it — into a versioned ruleset your team, your plants and your verifier all compute against.

The procedure, compiled

The BEE computation procedure — its equations, emission factors, GWP values and sampling rules — as executable, versioned code. When the rules change, the ruleset versions; your history stays intact.

Gap analysis before it's a penalty

Plant data in; applicable equations, target math and projected shortfall out — with every intermediate value shown. Know your position while it can still be changed, not when it's being verified.

How do we know if we're an obligated entity?

Obligated entities are named, unit by unit, in the schedules of the GEI target notifications — 282 entities across cement, aluminium, chlor-alkali and pulp & paper in the first tranche, and 255 iron & steel units in the current draft. Each unit carries a registration number (for steel, the INSOE series) and a listed baseline.

If you're unsure whether a unit is in scope, send us its name or registration number and we'll confirm against the schedules.

What exactly is due on 31 July 2026?

The first-ever CCTS compliance filing for the first-tranche sectors: the prescribed forms covering production, energy and emissions data, plus the verified compliance report — checked and signed off by an accredited carbon verification agency (ACVA) before submission. It is an annual cycle; this is year one.

Because it's the first cycle, most entities are also standing up the underlying monitoring and data trail for the first time — that, not the form-filling, is where the time goes.

What happens if a unit misses its GEI target?

A unit that ends the compliance year above its target must meet the shortfall by surrendering carbon credit certificates — or pay environmental compensation set at twice the average carbon credit price traded during the year, for every tonne of shortfall. Overachievers are issued credits they can bank or trade.

The practical implication: knowing your projected position mid-year is worth real money, because both the remediation options and the credit market move against you as the deadline approaches.

Are the iron & steel targets final?

No. G.S.R. 517(E) of 26 June 2026 is a draft notification: 255 units, 2023-24 baselines, and proposed 2026-27 targets. Figures can change on final notification, and every steel number on this site carries that qualifier.

What is fixed is the window to influence them — objections and suggestions are considered only if filed within sixty days of publication.

What should a steel unit do before 24 August 2026?

Three things: verify the draft schedule's entry for your unit (name, registration number, output, baseline GEI); recompute your baseline from your own 2023-24 records under the BEE procedure; and if the numbers diverge, file an objection with the recomputation attached — to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, within the statutory window.

A baseline accepted silently now is the denominator of every target you'll carry. This is the one moment it's cheap to fix.

Is FusionCarbon a consultancy?

No — it's software. Consultancies interpret the rulebook engagement by engagement; FusionCarbon compiles it into a versioned ruleset that computes your numbers, with every output traceable to the clause it came from. It works alongside your existing consultants and your verifier, and gives all three the same source of truth.

What does a gap analysis need from us?

For a first pass: your unit's production and energy data for the baseline and current year — the same quantities the BEE computation procedure already requires you to track. We map it to the applicable equations, compute your position against target, and show every intermediate value. No plant instrumentation changes are needed to start.

How is FusionCarbon priced?

Commercials depend on the number of units, sectors and modules involved, so we scope them on a short call rather than publish a rate card. Write to fusioncarbon@fusionpact.com or request a gap analysis below and we'll set one up.
