Schone Kookfornuizen — Voorbeeldproject

The cheapest credits on the site, and the ones we'd flag hardest to fully verify. Avoidance credits like this rest on a counterfactual assumption — how many households would have kept burning wood or charcoal anyway — which is inherently harder to prove than a removal project like biochar. Real health and community co-benefits, but leakage risk is the main thing to weigh.

Permanence How long the carbon stays locked away

N/A — avoidance, not removal

Leakage risk Whether cutting emissions here just pushes them elsewhere

Limited

Verification quality How rigorously an independent auditor checked this

Moderate

Co-benefits Extra good it does beyond carbon — jobs, health, biodiversity

Strong
