Buyer’s guide to high-quality cookstove carbon credits

Abatable and the Clean Cooking Alliance have collaborated to produce a guide to help potential buyers identify high-quality cookstove credits. Released in February 2025, it covers the foundational concepts of cookstove credits, explaining emissions reductions and the social benefits they bring, especially for women. It advises potential buyers to set a clear procurement strategy, define criteria for project eligibility, assess credit quality and keep claims credible and transparent.
