High-Integrity Cookstove Credits That Strengthen Communities in Togo

Cleaner cooking offers some of the fastest, most measurable emissions reductions available today - and it strengthens the wellbeing of families in rural communities.

At Carbon Kind, we develop improved cookstove projects that do more than reduce emissions. They give women back hours of time, reduce health risks from smoke, and help communities build resilience.

And every credit reflects impact you can prove - and stories you can share with confidence.

Why organisations choose Carbon Kind cookstove credits

CCP-labelled and Gold Standard certified

Our credits meet the highest level of integrity available. You can purchase with confidence that every tonne represents verifiable climate impact and aligned with SBTi Beyond Value Chain Mitigation guidance.

Human-centred impact you can communicate

Behind every credit is a community in Togo transitioning to cleaner cooking. We provide transparent data, powerful stories, photography, and insights from the field - so your climate action becomes meaningful for your teams and your customers.

A limited opportunity to secure premium credits

We have just 35,000 cookstove credits available from our 2024/25 vintage.


Once they are allocated, the next issuance will not be available until 2027.

What makes our credits different

A community-led model

The stoves are locally manufactured, distributed, and maintained by teams in Togo. Women spend less time collecting firewood, families save money, and communities gain healthier homes.

Measured, transparent, verifiable

Our monitoring process includes on-site surveys, usage checks, GPS verification, and ongoing data collection. Every credit is backed by robust evidence.

Premium storytelling and marketing content

This is where Carbon Kind stands apart.

We give you authentic, story-led content created with the communities your credits support:

  • Photography and short videos from Togo

  • Real stories of women, families, and communities

  • Insights and quotes in English and French

  • Ready-to-use marketing assets for ESG reports, websites, and campaigns

This isn’t generic impact reporting. It’s honest, practical, community-centred storytelling that gives your organisation a meaningful way to communicate climate action.

Positive change that lasts

Cookstoves reduce emissions today - but they also strengthen local economies, support women’s leadership, and reduce pressure on forests for generations.

This is climate action that works for both people and the planet.

How the Project Works

Locally made

Every stove is manufactured in Togo, creating skilled jobs, strengthening the local economy, and ensuring the project remains sustainable long term.

Community distributed

Trained field teams deliver stoves directly to households, provide demonstrations, and make sure families feel confident using them from day one.

Designed with communities

Women, community leaders, and local partners shape every step - from stove design and feedback cycles to distribution and long-term support. This ensures the project reflects real needs and delivers meaningful benefits.

In addition to helping offset emissions, your purchase supports 8 verified Sustainable Development Goals
