How integrity reforms are reshaping cookstove credit supply

Here are some key takeaways from the report

• The first Cookstoves projects are undergoing requantification, the process of reassessing expected emissions reductions under updated methodologies, in some cases to qualify for eligibility under Core Carbon Principles or CORSIA.

• In our analysis of Cookstoves projects, we found that while these methodology updates can reduce issuance for individual projects by up to 80%, they substantially strengthen credit integrity.

• This interaction between improving integrity and decreasing supply means that assessing both integrity and delivery risk is essential to understanding a credit’s quality.
