Our Journey to Improve Carbon Integrity in 2025
6.3 million stoves. 32.5 million lives improved. 36.5 million tonnes of wood saved. 62.3 million tonnes of CO₂ avoided.
High-integrity. Science-backed. Africa-rooted.
6.3 million stoves. 32.5 million lives improved. 36.5 million tonnes of wood saved. 62.3 million tonnes of CO₂ avoided.
Scrutiny in today’s carbon market is higher than ever — and not all credits stand up to it. For buyers and investors under pressure to demonstrate real climate impact and verified community benefits, the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) for clean cooking set a globally recognized integrity benchmark.
Nairobi, Kenya – 20th May 2025 – BURN, Africa’s leading clean cookstove manufacturer, distributor, and carbon project developer, has announced that several of its carbon projects are now on track to receive the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) Label by early July.
The risk of global north companies cheating the global south in the cookstove carbon market has been identified as a threat to the private sector's global net zero goals and an exploitation of lower-income markets. CNBC Africa is joined by Chris McKinney, Chief Commercial Officer at Burn Manufacturing, a Kenya based green cooking solutions company.
