The DelAgua Clean Cooking Grouped Project in Rwanda distributes fuel-efficient, improved cookstoves (ICS) to households, replacing widely used three-stone fires and inefficient wood-burning stoves. The climate impact comes from reduced fuel use: when less firewood is needed per meal, emissions from combustion decrease—measurable through usage and monitoring data and calculated under an approved VCS methodology. The project stands for practical, everyday climate action in the household sector while also reducing pressure on local wood resources.
Special feature of this offer: the credits are available with a Corresponding Adjustment (CA). This means Rwanda has authorized the international use and applies a corresponding adjustment—an additional transparency and claim-safety feature for the authorized volumes and time periods.

The project represents practical, everyday climate action in the household sector and also helps reduce pressure on local wood resources.
Key feature of this offer: The credits are Article 6 authorized (LoA in place), but no Corresponding Adjustment (CA) is specified in this offer. This means there is a host-country authorization for defined uses/vintages—a CA (if applicable) would be tied to the specific transfer/use case and is typically shown and marketed separately.
Why offset CO₂?
Simple: because a residual amount always remains.
Even with the best measures, emissions can never be reduced to zero.
This is exactly where offsetting comes in: it balances what is technically or economically unavoidable today.
We offer traditional carbon offsetting, but we highly recommend exploring our modern 'Contribution' approach if you are seeking maximum legal certainty.
More than just offsetting: The strategic advantages for your business.
Offsetting completes your climate logic: it shows how you handle residual emissions and makes communication with customers, banks and partners much clearer.
Immediate climate impact
Climate action projects reduce CO₂ emissions right away — exactly where the leverage is highest. They create measurable impact in regions where every saved ton truly counts.
Communication you can rely on
You can transparently demonstrate which emissions you have offset and how every ton was documented. This gives you maximum confidence in your communication and prevents misunderstandings or greenwashing risks.
Stronger for new requirements
CO₂ data is increasingly being requested. Offsetting adds credibility and makes companies noticeably better prepared in conversations with partners.
Holistic Climate Action:
Strategic Reduction and High-Integrity Offsetting
Effective climate action follows a clear priority: avoidance before reduction before offsetting. natureOffice helps you develop a sound decarbonization transformation plan that goes beyond mere statements of intent. We identify specific savings potentials within your company and assist you in defining science-based targets (SBTi-aligned) to consistently lower your emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3—a core requirement for CSRD reporting and the ESRS E1 standard.
For all currently unavoidable emissions, we provide access to high-integrity climate action projects. We rely exclusively on strictly certified standards such as the Gold Standard or VCS (Verified Carbon Standard), which, in addition to carbon sequestration, deliver measurable contributions to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and biodiversity. By linking technical reduction with certified offsetting, we create a legally secure foundation for your sustainability communication and effectively protect you from greenwashing risks. This ensures your commitment becomes a resilient part of your corporate future viability on the path to Net-Zero.
