Analysis

This Gold Standard improved cooking stove project in Bangladesh carries significant integrity concerns, most notably the 2024 verification report's indication that additionality was not confirmed by the VVB, a 100% usage-rate assumption with no verified rate, and an extensive list of material findings and corrective actions spanning data quality, missing evidence, and reporting inconsistencies. The project does benefit from a quantified 5% leakage deduction, no reported reversal events, and a named VVB, but the cumulative weight of unresolved contradictions and documentation gaps undermines confidence in the claimed emissions reductions.

Eligibility & market

What can you claim with this credit?

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

  • Airlines (CORSIA)

    Stated in the project documents

    The documents claim CORSIA eligibility, but no registry label confirms it: check vintage and authorization.

    Source: project documents (not confirmed by the registry) · documents analysed on 5 Sep 2026

    Covers: what the project documents state — not a registry record

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology not approved by ICVCMAMS-II.G

    The Integrity Council assessed this methodology as not meeting the Core Carbon Principles.

    Source: ICVCM assessment · ICVCM table read on 4 Oct 2026

    Covers: the methodology (every project using it), not this project's credits

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: registry label · read on 2 Nov 2026

    Covers: the project type, not a label on individual credits

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
