01 The challenge
Many homes in Assam and Madhya Pradesh cook on fuelwood. That takes time to collect and adds emissions with every meal.
02 The approach
The project places 22,000 improved cookstoves in homes across two states. Each stove cuts fuelwood use by 50%, and Gold Standard verifies the resulting reductions.
03 Delivery
The project is estimated to avoid about 60,000 tCO₂e a year. Gold Standard verification confirms the reductions, so buyers can rely on the credits.
