How Is Carbon Credit Income Calculated?
कार्बन क्रेडिट आय की गणना कैसे होती है? | कार्बन क्रेडिट उत्पन्नाची गणना कशी केली जाते?
1. Carbon Sequestration Rate
Different crops and farming practices sequester different amounts of CO₂. Paddy using alternate wetting-drying: 1.5–3 tons/acre/year. Agroforestry: up to 5 tons/acre/year.
2. Practice Multiplier
Adopting multiple sustainable practices like no-till, organic, and cover cropping multiplies your carbon capture rate. Farmers using all practices can earn up to 80% more.
3. Market Price × Credits
In India's voluntary carbon market, 1 carbon credit = ₹500–₹4,000. Your income = (Acres × Sequestration Rate × Practice Multiplier) × Price per Ton.

Carbon Credit Calculator — FAQs
Is this carbon credit calculator accurate?
This calculator gives an estimate based on average sequestration rates for Indian farming conditions. Actual verified credits depend on soil testing, satellite verification, and the certification standard used (VCS, Gold Standard, etc.).
What is the minimum land to earn carbon credits in India?
You need a minimum of 1 acre of agricultural land to register and generate carbon credits in India.
How often do farmers get paid for carbon credits?
Typically, carbon credit payments happen annually or on a project cycle of 3–5 years. Farmers receive lump sum payments after verification of carbon sequestration.
क्या मैं 2 एकड़ जमीन पर कार्बन क्रेडिट से कमाई कर सकता हूँ? (Can I earn with 2 acres?)
हाँ, 2 एकड़ की जमीन से भी आप सालाना ₹6,000 से ₹40,000+ तक कमा सकते हैं, फसल और खेती की पद्धति के अनुसार। Yes, 2 acres can generate ₹6,000–₹40,000+ annually depending on crop and practices.
