Expanding LPG stove applicability for Gold Standard projects

Under current rules, LPG stove-based projects can generate credits for the greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions associated with improved efficiency, but not for those resulting from lower GHG emission factors (emission level per unit of fuel). The approach under consideration by Gold Standard would aim to balance the immediate benefits of LPG stove-based projects, for instance through improved health and lower GHG emissions, with concerns about long-term fossil fuel dependency.
