The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) is shifting carbon offsets from voluntary choices to regulatory requirements. This transition is creating predictable demand for high-integrity credits, particularly for clean cooking projects in Africa, which offer a significant price premium over the voluntary market. Despite the opportunity, developers face steep hurdles. Securing government letters of authorization to prevent double counting remains a critical bottleneck, as seen in the bankruptcy of KOKO Networks. Success depends on navigating the complex intersection of international aviation rules and national climate targets.
