Cookstoves Carbon Credits
Clean cookstove projects replace open fires and inefficient stoves with improved models that burn far less fuel. This avoids CO₂ emissions from wood and charcoal, reduces deforestation pressure, and dramatically cuts indoor air pollution.
Cookstove credits carry strong development co-benefits in health, time savings, and household economics, aligned with multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals. Recent methodology updates have tightened how usage and fuel savings are measured.
