For more information on how Article 6 enables collaboration for climate action, please read: “What is Article 6? An overview and implications for VCM quality.”

In the last week, we assessed a cookstove project that is eligible for trading under Article 6.2. The project received a rating of B under the Calyx Global rating framework – the highest rating to date of cookstove credits in our ratings system.

These credits are among the first on the voluntary carbon market (VCM) that are authorized for Article 6 transactions. The project, registered under Gold Standard as GS 11924, was a Component Project Activity (CPA) of the highly-publicized “Malawi Biomass Energy Conservation Programme” Program of Activities (PoA) GS 11677.
