“Carbon Credit Finance Can Bring Clean Cooking to Every Home in Africa” an OP-ED by Peter Scott
“Today, carbon finance alone can generate the capital needed to lead the clean cooking transition. The amount needed is less than people might imagine, for example, a $1 billion investment can deliver ~30 million stoves. These stoves can then generate enough carbon credit revenue over a 7-year crediting period to repay the principal investment and still subsidise an additional 50 million stoves, or about the number of stoves that Africa needs each year.”
