This project provides fuel-efficient cooking stoves to African communities, resulting in a substantial reduction in global emissions.
This cookstove project reduces global emissions and offers advantages for individuals in marginalized communities, particularly women. They mitigate indoor air pollution, a primary factor in respiratory illnesses and other health concerns. These stoves consume notably less wood or biomass compared to conventional cooking techniques, resulting in time and labour saved in fuel collection.
This is a Verified Project that generates a number of certified carbon credits. Each credit is equivalent to one tonne of CO2e and has a unique serial number. These are recorded in the Gold Standard Registry, the Verra Registry or the CDM Registry of the United Nations.

We use Stripe, one of the world’s largest and most secure payment platforms.
The Carbon Trade Exchange is backed by the Westpac Banking Corporation that guarantees transactions and provides rigorous measures to protect our customers.
Offsets are purchased through the Climate Change Institute where they are subjected to a rigorous verification and certification process.
After purchase, you will receive a certificate showing the amount of offsets you have bought and the serial number for each tonne which can be independently verified on the Gold Standard Carbon Registry, where the full project specifications are also provided.
Biomass Recovery Cookstove Project
[metaslider id=”3145″]
This initiative not only benefits the environment but also enhances the well-being of individuals in low-income households. Additionally, it alleviates economic strain by reducing the consumption of wood and other fuels.
SITUATION
Biomass, especially firewood and charcoal, is widely used in many developing countries as a fuel for cooking, particularly in rural areas. It is generally carried out on thermally inefficient traditional devices that produce large amounts of CO2 and indoor pollution which can cause respiratory health hazards.
SOLUTION
The project provides fuel-efficient cookstoves which reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere for cooking the same amount of food. Households save money by having less fuel requirements and health is improved through the reduction of indoor air pollutants
IMPACT
The project provides fuel savings for many poor households and reduces consumption of non-renewable wood. It can lead to a significant reduction in the annual usage of biomass and a decrease in the rate of deforestation, which has a positive impact on biodiversity.
OUTCOME
Projects like these have distributed thousands of efficient cookstoves to replace open fires. They reflect traditional woodfire methods, but require approximately sixty-six percent less firewood. They considerably reduce smoke emissions and improve community health in developing countries.
Offset certificates finance verified projects that reduce and eliminate carbon which are subject to a rigorous registration and verification process. Projects can include wind, solar, hydro, biomass energy recovery, geothermal and GHG abatement.
Projects aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst supporting sustainable development in developing countries.
This ensures that they deliver genuine emission reductions and long-term sustainable development through linking to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Carbon credits are issued for projects endorsed by the United Nations that must meet strict certification standards.
Verification
The Gold Standard Registry issues carbon credits, each is equivalent to one tonne of CO2e. It is the central repository for all information and documentation relating to Gold Standard projects and units.
The Registry also ensures the uniqueness of projects and credits in the system.
Projects are subject to a rigorous verification process where transparency underpins the positive outcomes of the carbon projects.
Certified projects must have the following attributes
Transparency
Information on the project is made readily available.
Efficiency
Projects should offer efficient methods to reduce carbon.
Validity
Projects certified to world standards and procedures fully documented.
- Additionality: The project is justified and the the carbon emission reductions achieved by the project would not have occurred without the additional funding.
- Permanence: Projects should demonstrate that the emissions reductions achieved by the project will be permanent and the carbon must remain stored for a long enough period to achieve the intended climate benefit.
- Verification: Projects must be verifiable and correctly accounted for, have a low risk of non-additionality, reversal, creating negative unintended consequences, and all forms of double-counting, including double-claiming of the emission reduction benefit, are avoided.
- Co-benefits: Projects may have have additional co-benefits such as poverty reduction, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development and this should be considered.
Carbon Offset Certificates finance verified projects which slow down the rate of global warming, buying time for the world to make the transition to low-emission economies.
