ICVCM approves three cookstove methodologies for high integrity carbon credit label
Projects that generate carbon credits by replacing polluting cooking fuels with cleaner alternatives have been under high scrutiny.
The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) has approved three methodologies – and rejected two – to generate high-integrity carbon credits from cookstove projects.
ICVCM has been reviewing the methodologies used to calculate the GHG emissions avoided or absorbed across a variety of different projects – and sell carbon credits based on these calculations – as part of its Core Carbon Principles (CCP) framework to make high-integrity credits easier to recognise.
