The Clean Cooking Alliance (CCA) has expanded its data capabilities in the cookstove carbon credit market through a new partnership with carbon intelligence platform Allied Offsets, aiming to bolster transparency across the sector.
The collaboration has resulted in a major update to CCA’s Carbon Market Dashboard, which now includes detailed insights into market demand, pricing dynamics, and regulatory compliance for cookstove carbon credits. The free, interactive tool — updated every three days — is intended to serve as a valuable resource for investors, policymakers, and climate finance professionals.
The expanded dashboard introduces three new categories of information:
- Buyer Insights: Users can identify the top buyers of cookstove credits over the past year, with segmentation by industry sector.
- Price Analysis: Access to trends in cookstove credit pricing over time, filtered by geography and fuel type.
- Compliance Market Data: A breakdown of countries leading in cookstove credit issuance under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and analysis of credits compliant with both Article 6 and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
These new features build on the dashboard’s existing partnership with MSCI Carbon Markets, which provides data on cumulative issuances, retirements, and credit availability by region and registry.
“Carbon finance remains a key driver of investment into the clean cooking sector, while also unlocking more conventional forms of capital,” said Feisal Hussain, Director of Innovative Finance at the CCA. “With this expansion, we’re improving transparency and equipping stakeholders with data-driven insights for better decision-making.”
Maria Orsola Benzoni, Data Lead at Allied Offsets, added: “Cookstove carbon credits have long held a crucial role in carbon markets — offering tangible environmental gains while uplifting communities. We are pleased to partner with CCA to improve market access and data clarity.”
The clean cooking sector, often underrepresented in climate finance, is gaining increasing recognition for its dual impact on health and the environment. By enhancing visibility into the performance and pricing of cookstove carbon credits, the updated dashboard is expected to play a vital role in unlocking further investment into sustainable cooking technologies.
