At BURN, we are continuing to build one of the most advanced clean cooking carbon portfolios in Africa, with a growing number of Letters of Approval (LOAs) issued under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, authorizing the transfer of carbon credits between countries, secured across key markets.
Most recently, we received a formal Letter of Approval (LOA) in Nigeria for use under the CORSIA scheme, unlocking one of the largest and most strategically important clean cooking markets globally. This builds on earlier approvals in Tanzania, Ethiopia and Malawi, alongside continued progress toward additional authorizations in markets such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Taken together, this marks an important shift. We are not reliant on a single country or regulatory pathway. Instead, we are building a diversified, multi-country pipeline of authorized projects that can scale with the market.
At the same time, we are already delivering today. A portion of our portfolio has achieved CCP (Core Carbon Principles) labelling, with credits available for forward sale now. This gives buyers access to high-integrity supply in the near term, while our pipeline of LOA-backed projects continues to grow.
Alongside this, we are rapidly building what is close to a pipeline of electric cooking credits, supported by digitally metered technologies and robust MRV systems. This is a key part of where the market is heading, and we are positioning early.
This dual approach is deliberate. We combine near-term CCP-labelled issuance with a growing base of LOA-backed, compliance-ready projects.
In a market where regulatory timelines can shift, this matters. By working across multiple governments and regulatory environments, we reduce exposure to any single market while maintaining continuity of supply.
Securing LOAs across jurisdictions takes time and sustained engagement. It requires alignment with national priorities, evolving Article 6 frameworks, and consistent delivery on the ground. Our progress reflects years of investment in local teams, government relationships, and operational execution.
For buyers, particularly intermediaries and corporates looking for high-integrity credits, this growing LOA footprint combined with available CCP-labelled supply provides a clear signal of credibility, resilience, and delivery confidence.
As compliance markets such as CORSIA scale, access to authorized and insurable credits will increasingly matter. We are building for that future now, with a platform designed to deliver both immediate supply and long-term volume.
The result is a portfolio that is diversified, government-aligned, and already delivering, with the foundations in place to scale significantly in the years ahead. For buyers seeking high-integrity, compliance-aligned carbon credits with both immediate availability and long-term scale, we invite you to connect with our team.
At BURN, we have spent the past two years preparing a robust supply of CP1 credits, with the goal of providing a credible and impactful pathway for carbon offset buyers.

Blantyre, Malawi – July 15th, 2025 — BURN, Africa’s leading clean cookstove manufacturer and carbon project developer, in partnership with AIM Carbon, an international developer of innovative climate projects, has officially launched operations in Malawi with the opening of its first local production facility in the country.
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.
