dMRV for CCTS: What Verification-Ready Data Looks Like
Under CCTS, a credit is only as good as the data behind it. The layers of a verification-ready dMRV record, from meter to registry.
Under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme, a CCC is the end of a data trail. If the trail breaks, the credit doesn't exist. That is why dMRV (digital monitoring, reporting and verification) is the product, not a feature.
Anatomy of a Verified Tonne
1. Source data: fuel invoices, meter readings, production logs.
2. Monthly ledger under the BEE-approved monitoring plan, due within three months of the cycle's start.
3. Sampling and lab results: coal at least monthly or every 20,000 tonnes.
4. Calculation with Type I or Type II emission factors.
5. ACVA verification, then Form A (the seven steps).
6. BEE assessment and issuance into the Grid-India registry.
7. Trading on IEX, PXIL or HPX.
What a Verifier Will Check
Verifiers reconcile one source against another: fuel bought against fuel burned, production logged against production sold, lab certificates against sample IDs. A spreadsheet with no change history makes that slow; a system that logs every edit makes it routine.
Where Records Usually Break
For refineries, the factor column adds one more number to defend. For offset projects, the same record must show the tonne hasn't been claimed elsewhere.
ICT's dMRV platform captures monthly fuel, power, production and lab data, keeps an audit trail of every change, and exports a verification evidence pack for your ACVA.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is dMRV under CCTS?
- Digital monitoring, reporting and verification: a system that records emissions data monthly and keeps an audit trail for verification.
- Is dMRV mandatory under CCTS?
- CCTS requires a BEE-approved monitoring plan, monthly monitoring and ACVA verification. A digital system is the practical way to meet those rules.
- When must the CCTS monitoring plan be submitted?
- BEE's procedure says within three months of the start of a compliance cycle.
- What does an ACVA check?
- That fuel, power and production records reconcile, lab results match samples and emission factors follow the monitoring plan.
- What happens if monitoring data is incomplete?
- Verification is delayed or qualified, and if documents are not filed, achieved intensity can be deemed equal to the baseline.
- How can ICT help with dMRV?
- International Carbon Trade's dMRV platform records monthly data with an audit trail and builds the evidence pack. Contact contact@internationalcarbontrade.com or +91 90544 01707.
