Analysis

The Agasco Improved Cookstoves Nigeria project has VVB-confirmed additionality and a recent baseline reassessment, but is undermined by a heavy load of compliance issues and corrective actions (6 CLs, 7 CARs), an approved deviation for site-visit non-compliance, and a VVB that did not address permanence or reversal risk. The absence of a verified ERR figure, a very small 0.95% leakage deduction, and a significant discrepancy in the national emission factor (0.38 vs 0.82) create meaningful over-crediting risk. Documentation is reasonably complete and recent, but medium extraction confidence and outstanding corrective actions temper confidence in the record.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

Four checks buyers ask about, from the registry and the Integrity Council (ICVCM).

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    First phase label on the registry (2024–2026)

    The registry labels credits of this project eligible for the first phase. Only units of 2021–2026 vintages that carry the label count for airlines' CORSIA obligations: check the units, not only the project.

    Every issued vintage (2023–2024) is inside the First Phase window (2021–2026): check that the units offered carry the label.

    Covers: credits of this project that carry the label on the registry — not every unit or lot

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    CCP-labelled credits

    The registry marks credits of this project with the Integrity Council's Core Carbon Principles label: check that the units offered carry it.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.
