Methodology developed to support the origination of high-impact microscale clean cooking projects
This methodology was first published in 2013 with the explicit intention to lower transaction costs for microscale activities seeking carbon finance to support improved cookstove technologies.
Taking into consideration feedback from the consultation held in April, we are pleased to publish a revised methodology that now aligns with latest science, introduces further efficiencies for project developers, provides more clarity and promotes consistency between our methodologies. This methodology is published alongside an Emission Reduction Calculation Tool and baseline/project survey questionnaire template.
Key changes include:
- Expansion to charcoal stove projects
- Revision of the requirements to calculate project cookstove efficiency
- Inclusion of new data, parameters, and related requirements, to ensure consistency across all improved cookstoves/distributed technology methodologies
- Simplified monitoring approach
- Updates to the sample survey questionnaires
