CCTS for textile mills
173 textile units are covered under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme. This page is written for the mill owner, the MD and the energy manager.
Four sub-sectors, four emission profiles
Where your emissions come from depends on what your mill makes.
Where the emissions come from
Illustrative, not measuredSpinning
Purchased electricity
Fuel
Ring frames, humidification plants, compressors
Processing
Boiler and thermic-fluid-heater fuel
Purchased electricity
Heat for treating and finishing fabric
Spinning
Spinning mills turn fibre into yarn. Emissions come mostly from purchased electricity: ring frames, humidification plants and compressors.
Processing
Processing units treat and finish fabric. Emissions come mostly from boiler and thermic-fluid-heater fuel.

Compliance gaps we commonly see in textile mills
These are the places a verifier is most likely to ask questions.
- Sampling and laboratory arrangements
- Biomass documentation
- Renewable energy claims
- Captive power boundaries
- Equivalent-product normalisation
What reduces intensity in textiles
