Analysis

A VCS cookstove project in Madagascar with VVB-confirmed additionality and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but undermined by a project-specific baseline, unresolved FPIC contradictions, and nine outstanding corrective actions including bundling compliance and ERR proration issues. The project is an avoidance-type cookstove with minimal permanence risk, yet documentation gaps and material findings limit confidence in the overall credit quality.

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 (2022–2025) 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)

    No ICVCM information

    No CCP label and no ICVCM decision found for this project's methodology.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

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

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

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Authorized by the host countryIntl mitigation purposes · NDC Use · Other purposes

    The registry shows a host-country authorization for credits of this project, with a corresponding adjustment for the authorized uses: check that the units offered are among them.
