Carbon Credits in India & Middle East: What’s Actually Moving in 2026

The market for carbon credits has evolved, but so have the sceptics. As corporates navigate decarbonisation strategies, the question is no longer whether credits matter, but how to judge which ones actually deliver. Between emerging integrity standards, sector-specific opportunities in the Gulf, and India's growing agricultural carbon market, buyers need clarity on what's real and what's still hype.
This fireside chat, hosted by Oren in conversation with the Global Carbon Council, cuts through the noise. We'll explore where carbon credits legitimately sit in a decarbonisation roadmap, how to assess credit quality beyond price, and what's actually moving in supply across the Middle East and India, from mangrove restoration and hydrogen to agricultural credits and India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme.
What You Will Learn:
Where carbon credits belong in a corporate decarbonisation strategy
How to judge credit quality: reductions vs. removals, price signals, and buyer red flags
The new integrity landscape: what ICVCM, CORSIA, and Article 6 actually guarantee
Real project supply in the Gulf: mangrove restoration, hydrogen, ammonia, transport, and methane abatement
Agricultural carbon credits and aggregation challenges: scaling smallholder outcomes for credibility
India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme: compliance vs. voluntary purchases - competing or complementary?
You'll gain practical, ground-truth insights into credit procurement strategy, project credibility assessment, and how to navigate emerging regulatory frameworks with real-world implementation perspectives.
We look forward to welcoming you to this fireside chat and engaging directly with leading voices in carbon market integrity!

Webinar Details
Carbon credits have faced years of credibility questions over crediting investigations, projects that failed to deliver, and justified buyer scepticism. Yet as companies commit to science-based targets and regulators tighten compliance frameworks, credits have become unavoidable in decarbonisation strategies. The challenge now is separating real impact from inflated claims, and understanding which credits actually work in India and the Middle East.
