Clean cooking carbon projects for net-zero leaders
Roll out high-efficiency cookstoves across rural India — cutting indoor smoke and emissions, improving women’s health, and generating verified carbon credits with Anaxee’s dMRV technology.
High-impact offsets
Why corporates and investors choose cookstoves
Cookstove projects combine fast credit issuance with some of the strongest social co-benefits in the voluntary carbon market.
Fast credit issuance
Typically 12–18 months to market-ready credits — far quicker than land-based projects.
Tier-1 SDG co-benefits
Direct health, gender and clean-energy outcomes that buyers increasingly demand alongside carbon.
Low cost per tonne
An economical route to high-integrity credits, with a clear and auditable emission-reduction basis.
The problem
Traditional stoves mean smoke, disease and emissions
Indoor air pollution from solid-fuel cooking is one of the largest, most overlooked health and climate burdens in the world.
The business case
Embed climate co-benefits into your strategy
For corporates & ESG teams
- Progress towards carbon-neutrality commitments
- Support for BRSR compliance and improved scores
- Stronger CDP and ESG disclosure outcomes
For investors
- Target IRR of 18–22% on credit sales
- A diversified, impact-linked asset class
- A high-integrity addition to an ESG portfolio
Eight-stage framework
How we deliver audit-ready projects
Geographical selection
Choose sites by need, feasibility and eligibility.
Marketing & awareness
Publicise the project and its goals locally.
Baseline survey
Assess current cooking methods and fuel use.
Select beneficiaries
Identify and score eligible households.
Community awareness
Engage and train communities on clean cooking.
Beneficiary agreement
Formalise participation and consent.
Cookstove distribution
Deliver and install efficient cookstoves.
Monitoring (4–5 yrs)
Long-term usage and impact verification.
Built-in dMRV
100% transparency, zero leakage
Every household is captured with GPS-timestamped photos and eligibility scoring, feeding live dashboards that track real-time project insights and impact.
Fool-proof implementation
GPS-timestamped photos and per-household eligibility scoring remove guesswork and double-counting.
24/7 data pipeline
Field data flows continuously into dashboards, so monitoring is live rather than retrospective.
Verified impact, zero leakage
Traceable records give auditors and buyers confidence in every tonne claimed.
More than carbon

FAQ
Clean cooking, answered
What methodology is used for carbon credit calculation?
Cookstove projects are developed under recognised methodologies such as Gold Standard’s metered and measured approaches for improved cookstoves, with the exact methodology chosen to fit the fuel baseline and stove type. We confirm the methodology during project design.
How frequently is monitoring conducted?
Usage and performance are monitored continuously through our dMRV pipeline, with structured monitoring surveys across the crediting period, typically spanning 4–5 years per project.
What fuel types are considered for the baseline?
Baselines account for the solid fuels a household currently uses — typically fuelwood, along with charcoal, crop residue or other biomass — assessed during the baseline survey.
How are credits priced?
Pricing depends on vintage, standard, co-benefits and volume. We work with you on a structure that reflects the project’s integrity and SDG profile.
What support is provided after distribution?
Each project includes long-term monitoring, community engagement and issue resolution across the crediting period, so impact and usage are sustained, not just recorded at handover.
