ReNew’s Carbon Business

ReNew’s carbon business develops, funds and operates projects in India and internationally that generate carbon certificates by avoiding, reducing or removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. 

As part of the ReNew group, a Nasdaq-listed company backed by marquee institutional investors, ReNew’s carbon business brings to carbon project development  the standards and best-practices of a large and experienced decarbonization infrastructure group. We are a responsible carbon developer, seeking to produce carbon certificates with the highest environmental integrity and social impact and aligned with the principles of the Paris Agreement. Once awarded the carbon credits, ReNew sell them to corporates aiming to voluntarily reduce their emissions and to governments, corporations and airlines, that, by regulation, must reduce emissions. 

We have a sizable, international, and fast-growing portfolio of carbon projects across four areas, namely clean energy, clean cooking, NbS and engineering-based removals, are rapidly expanding our business, and looking for ambitious and entrepreneurial professionals committed to shaping global carbon markets.
