Installation of high efficiency wood burning cookstoves in Kenya (VCS-2349) is being re-assessed under the current CarbonMeld methodology (v3): its earlier rating came from an older version of the method and is no longer shown, so this page gives no CarbonMeld rating until the new analysis is published.

Assessment

Being reassessed under the current method

The earlier analysis of this project used an older version of our method, so its rating is no longer shown: it is not comparable with ratings under the current method (v3). The new analysis will appear here once it is published; until then, this page shows the project's registry data.

Standard and methodology

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 2 Sep 2026

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

  • 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.

    Source: registry label · read on 12 Nov 2026

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

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

    Source: methodology

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

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    No Article 6 authorization

    No corresponding adjustment: the host country can also count this reduction towards its own target.

    Source: registry label · read on 12 Nov 2026

    Covers: this project's credit records as read on the registry

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.

Being within an ICVCM-approved version range is information only: it does not mean these credits carry the CCP label, which the registry assigns to each issuance.

A version is shown only when the document's own text writes it next to the methodology code. Current versions, status and CCP ranges come from the official pages linked, checked on the date shown.
