RFP: Responsible Carbon Finance Pilot Phase
By 2026, CCA aims to have a mixture of established, emerging, and new clean cooking carbon project developers committed to a voluntary code of conduct that is recognized by end buyers of carbon credits as a hallmark of high quality. By 2030, CCA envisions a mature, flourishing clean cooking carbon market that operates with integrity, transparency, fairness, and sustainability, where buyers trust that they get what they buy in terms of emission reductions and co-benefits. This sustained demand for high quality credits could command premium pricing, facilitating the allocation of significant capital to clean cooking carbon projects.
CCA is leading a five-stage process from May 2023 to December 2030:
- Public consultation
- Infrastructure and material development
- Piloting and support
- Continuous learning and review
- Advisory Council engagement
To submit a proposal to support CCA in this process, please submit this document, saved as a PDF, by emailing it to carbon@cleancooking.org with the subject line “Responsible Carbon Finance Pilot Phase – RFP.”
The deadline for submitting a response is Friday March 7th, 2025. Thank you for taking the time to share your response with CCA.
