Why it exists
Indian project developers mostly register credits with programmes designed elsewhere, while the domestic Carbon Credit Trading Scheme is only now building its registry. A programme without a working registry is a set of documents: nowhere to validate and publish projects, no unique identity for each credit, no proof that a retirement happened once.
What AMMONIS does
AMMONIS is the system of record for the suite. It runs the project lifecycle from draft to listing to registration, the methodology lifecycle from draft to published version, participant onboarding, and the public record of issuances and retirements. It powers Carbon Registry–India, a domestic programme aligned with the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism.

Lifecycle
Gates that carry their evidence
A project moves forward only by submitting the documents its stage needs and receiving a recorded decision. Listing needs the PDD and the stakeholder consultation report; registration needs the validation report.
- Draft wizard that saves as you go
- External reviewers approve by secure link
- A timeline of every decision and who made it

Credits
One credit, one record
Issuances are recorded by vintage and serial range. A retirement can only consume serials that were issued and not already retired, and it carries its beneficiary.
- Serial ranges per vintage
- Retirements with beneficiary
- Transfers in a single ledger
Issuance · sample
Vintage 2025 · 10,000 units
A serial appears in exactly one issuance and can be retired once.
Methodologies
Open authorship, gated publishing
Anyone can draft a methodology. Registered developers submit it, reviewers comment, the public is consulted, and the registry publishes versioned releases with their sectoral scopes.
- Review comments and public consultation
- Tools library
- Versioned catalogue

How it works
A project, from draft to credits
Capabilities
Everything in the box
Who it serves:
Project proponents
Develop and register projects.
Validation and verification bodies
Audit projects under empanelment.
Methodology developers
Write and submit methodologies.
Trading organisations
Hold and move credits.
Vetted participants
Accounts act only after email verification, approval, payment and KYC. Nobody can grant themselves a privileged role.
Gated project lifecycle
Projects move from draft to listed to registered only through stage submissions with the required documents and a recorded decision.
Serialised credits
Every issued unit has a serial that appears in exactly one issuance; a retirement consumes only serials that were issued and not already retired.
Methodology publishing
Anyone may draft a methodology; registered developers submit it and the registry publishes versioned releases.
VVB empanelment
Validation and verification bodies are onboarded and empanelled; external reviewers act by secure link.
Public by default
Registered projects, public documents, issuances and retirements can be read without an account.
Principles
How it keeps its integrity
- The registry is the source of truth. A chain, a marketplace or a partner may mirror it; none overrides it.
- Gates carry evidence: every stage has the documents it needs.
- Decisions are attributable to the person who made them.
- Nothing is silently rewritten: issuances, retirements and decisions keep their trail.
- Public by default.
Clear scope
What it isn’t
- Not a monitoring tool
- Field data and monitoring belong to SONDIS; AMMONIS receives the verified result.
- Not a marketplace
- Price discovery and buyer journeys belong to VENTIS.
- Not a blockchain
- A chain may mirror the registry. It is never the record.
Built on
What AMMONIS stands on
The platform underneath, and what the work depends on outside it.
The platform
-
One platform core
The same evidence architecture the rest of the suite runs on: identity, roles, attribution and the audit trail are not rebuilt per product.
-
Serials that cannot be reused
A serial appears in exactly one issuance, and a retirement consumes only serials that were issued and not already retired.
-
Gates that carry evidence
A project changes stage only on a submission with its documents and a decision recorded against the person who made it.
-
Public without an account
Registered projects, public documents, issuances and retirements are readable by anyone.
What it connects to
- CARTIS methodology rules
- SONDIS monitoring results
- VENTIS settlement
- Paris Agreement (PACM)
- India CCTS
- KYC verification
- Payment verification
