Carbon financing offers an excellent opportunity to achieve widespread dissemination of health-improving technologies, such as cleaner burning stoves.

Purchasers of carbon credits are often looking for “co-benefits” in the areas of poverty alleviation, improved health, and environmental sustainability. Investments in household energy through improved stoves allow investors to achieve both carbon offsets and wider social goals.

CEIHD is harnessing the power of entrepreneurs and the global carbon market to sustainably improve health and alleviate poverty in the developing world. In conjunction with experts at UC Berkeley, CEIHD is also establishing best practices for all organizations that seek to leverage carbon markets to fund projects in health, the environment, and economic development.

With 6 years of experience, and the expertise of Dr. Kirk Smith and other household energy experts at UC Berkeley, CEIHD is the leader in creating verified carbon reductions to fund cookstove projects, and in measuring the significant social and environmental benefits.

CEIHD is developing new sustainable development projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We are seeking support to initiate new projects and create new tools for economic and human development. Through project development and research, CEIHD is paving the way for organizations worldwide to achieve development goals through carbon financing.
