Coverage
Cookstoves Coverage
Improved cookstove projects represent one of the most impactful and most scrutinised categories in voluntary carbon markets. We cover cookstove projects across five countries with a concentration in rural India, where biomass cooking remains widespread.
Pilot Projects Underway
We are currently working with early pilot cases in improved cookstoves to refine coverage workflows before publishing any ratings.
Key Insight
Usage monitoring quality determines cookstove rating outcomes.
Our analysis shows that the primary differentiator between high and low cookstove ratings is not the stove technology, but the quality of usage monitoring. Projects with independent household surveys and usage sensors consistently achieve higher ratings than those relying solely on distribution records.
