As India’s green hydrogen pipeline scales, project developers are increasingly evaluating international carbon market pathways to strengthen project bankability and export competitiveness. In this context, the Japan–India Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM)—a bilateral framework supporting emissions-reduction projects with crediting outcomes contributing to both countries’ climate goals—has become a relevant mechanism for industry to understand in practical terms. 

In parallel, the Paris Agreement’s cooperative approaches under Article 6.2 and the UN mechanism under Article 6.4 are developing into important reference points for integrity, accounting, and market acceptability. 

This workshop is proposed as a structured, developer-facing clarity session, anchored by MNRE, to align understanding across stakeholders and surface the practical considerations that matter for implementation-ready projects particularly around authorisation, accounting, MRV expectations, and the interaction with domestic market infrastructure.
