EcoSetu · A Keprin Overseas Division
Carbon numbers that
survive examination.
EcoSetu measures embedded emissions, prepares the evidence an accredited verifier expects to receive, and builds the systems that keep those numbers current between reporting periods.
EcoSetu is the carbon division of Keprin Overseas Corporation, operating under the management of Keprin Consultancy, the group’s tax and corporate advisory practice.
§ 01 · The problem
Most emissions numbers cannot be defended.
They are produced once, by a consultant, in a spreadsheet nobody else can open, and they collapse the moment somebody asks where a factor came from.
Under a border carbon mechanism that failure has a price. If a producer cannot supply verified installation data, the importer falls back on a default value that is deliberately set above typical plant performance and carries an escalating mark-up. The producer pays for the absence of evidence, not for the emissions.
EcoSetu exists to close that gap: to turn plant reality into a calculated figure, and that figure into a file that holds.
§ 02 · The unit of work
One figure, fully decomposed.
Specific embedded emissions is the number a European buyer needs and a verifier tests. It is not a single measurement. It is a chain of decisions about boundary, activity data and factors, each of which must be individually justifiable.
Process CO₂ from calcination and combustion CO₂ from kiln and calciner fuels, per tonne of clinker produced.
Emissions from electricity consumed in production. In scope for cement; excluded for most other CBAM goods.
Every term must resolve to a source, a measurement or default factor, a unit and a boundary. A figure that cannot be decomposed this way is not verifiable.
§ 03 · Practice areas
Four capabilities, one file.
Carbon Accounting
Corporate and product-level greenhouse gas accounting across Scope 1, Scope 2 and the Scope 3 categories that matter, built to recognised methodology rather than spreadsheet convention.
- Organisational and operational boundary setting
- Activity data collection and quality control
- Emission factor selection and justification
- Product carbon footprints
Border Carbon Compliance
EU CBAM is the practice's centre of gravity. We calculate specific embedded emissions for exporters and prepare the file their EU importer, and that importer's verifier, will actually accept.
- CN code and product scope determination
- Specific embedded emissions calculation
- Verification-ready evidence packs
- EU declarant data exchange
ESG & Disclosure
Regulatory and voluntary sustainability disclosure, with the same documentary standard applied to non-financial reporting that a tax practice applies to a return.
- BRSR reporting and assurance readiness
- Materiality assessment
- Disclosure gap analysis
- Board and investor-facing reporting
Digital Intelligence
The reason a compliance position survives past its first year. We build the calculation and reporting tooling that lets a client's own team reproduce the number next period.
- Emissions calculation engines
- Reporting and disclosure platforms
- Data pipelines and validation logic
- Internal audit trails
§ 04 · Method
Nine steps, run the same way every time.
The sequence does not change between clients or between sectors. What changes is the plant. Running a fixed method is what makes the output comparable across periods and reviewable by someone who was not present.
Scope
Determine what is covered.
Map
Understand the installation and production system.
Collect
Gather plant-level production, fuel, electricity and process data.
Calculate
Apply the applicable EU methodology to derive embedded emissions.
Validate
Run internal consistency checks and data-quality controls.
Document
Build the traceable evidence pack.
Verify
Coordinate with an independent accredited CBAM verifier.
Report
Provide the emissions information the EU declarant requires.
Monitor
Maintain the system for the next reporting period.
Step 07 is not ours. EcoSetu prepares data and coordinates with an independent verifier accredited to the applicable standards. It does not verify its own work, and is not an accredited verification body.
§ 05 · Digital
We build the tools we use.
Two compliance applications are in service. They are not products sold separately. They are how the practice keeps a client’s numbers reproducible between reporting periods.
The CBAM calculator is live and open, so you can judge the work yourself instead of taking our word for it.
CBAM Embedded Emissions Calculator
A producer-side calculator for specific embedded emissions, built against the EU methodology: installation boundary, fuel and process inputs, clinker-to-cement handling, and default-value comparison.
Free to use for Indian manufacturers. Published as a public initiative of Keprin Overseas Corporation.
Open the calculatorBRSR Reporting Platform
A structured reporting tool for India's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, covering all nine principles with section-level scoring and reconciliation checks.
Available to engaged clients.
Cement is the flagship vertical.
The clinker route is where CBAM bites hardest and where the gap between a default value and a measured figure is largest.
