J&K proposes carbon credit framework to monetize green projects, with revenue sharing plan

Jammu and Kashmir is exploring a carbon credit framework to generate revenue from its green assets, including agriculture, hydropower, and forestry. The proposal includes a revenue sharing model that directs 35% of net proceeds to primary growers and community project owners, 30% to a Green Fund, and the rest to FPOs, district initiatives, and sector accounts. A 180 day roadmap is planned to inventory assets and run 5-7 pilot projects. The plan also includes a Green Tourism Contribution and digital monitoring platform with BISAG-N. The success will depend on data standards, verification, and avoiding double counting.

Interesting to see J&K moving on carbon credits. The revenue sharing split looks like a start, but the real test is getting the accounting right. Hope they build proper monitoring before selling credits.

The mention of hydropower and forestry makes sense, but they need to be careful about additionality. Also, the Green Tourism Contribution might be a tough sell. Curious how they plan to verify emissions reductions.

A 180 day roadmap for inventory and pilots is ambitious. The tricky part is data standards and registry. BISAG-N involvement could help, but only if they have real expertise in carbon accounting.

The 35/30/15/10/10 split is interesting, but the article doesn't say who enforces it or how disputes are resolved. Also, the comparison with BMC and others needs context. Those numbers are from specific projects, not whole regions.

Good to see a clear framework proposal. The four pillars seem solid. The key is execution. Will they actually get the pilots running in 180 days? That's the part to watch.

They mention rooftop solar and EVs, but what about buildings and efficiency? That's a big chunk of emissions. The framework seems heavy on nature based solutions and light on efficiency.
