Nepal Treasure Carbon
Deploying 500,000 improved cookstoves across Nepal. A $200 million project. A 10-year commitment to climate, community, and country.
Overview
Nepal Treasure Carbon represents Nepal’s first privately developed carbon project, part of the Singapore-based Treasure Carbon Group. This is not a pilot or a proof of concept. This is a $200 million, 10-year commitment to deploying 500,000 improved cookstoves across Nepal’s most underserved rural communities.
The scale is uncompromising. The ambition is clear. By replacing traditional open-fire cooking with efficient, clean-burning cookstoves, the programme simultaneously reduces household carbon emissions, improves indoor air quality, and generates verified carbon credits traded on international voluntary carbon markets. Every cookstove deployed is data. Every credit is verified.
“This is climate action operating as it should — not as abstraction, but as cookstoves in kitchens. Not as credits, but as lives improved.”Nepal Treasure Carbon — Founding Vision
The Cookstove Programme
At the core of Nepal Treasure Carbon is a deployment programme of unprecedented scale: 500,000 improved cookstoves across Nepal’s rural households. Each cookstove replaces traditional open-fire cooking, reducing fuel consumption by 50-60%, cutting indoor air pollution by 80%, and producing measurable, verifiable reductions in household carbon emissions.
The programme operates with scientific precision. Every deployment is tracked. Every cookstove’s performance is monitored. The emissions reductions generated are verified according to international carbon credit standards, producing credits that meet the rigorous requirements of global voluntary carbon markets. This is climate action backed by data.
Three National Platforms
Nepal Treasure Carbon operates through three integrated platforms that together create end-to-end carbon infrastructure — from project origination through credit verification to market delivery. This is not a single initiative. It is a national carbon ecosystem.
National Carbon Platform
Nepal’s first national registry for carbon project development. This platform creates the institutional infrastructure for carbon credit generation, verification, and issuance across the country. It establishes the standards, protocols, and governance frameworks that allow Nepal to participate in global voluntary carbon markets with full credibility.
Carbon Alliance
A coalition of community partners, implementation organisations, local governments, and development stakeholders working in concert to deliver the cookstove programme at national scale. The Alliance is the operational backbone — coordinating field deployment across 77 districts, managing community relationships, training local implementers, and ensuring every household receives proper installation, education, and follow-up support.
Carbon Consulting
The technical and strategic advisory arm. Carbon Consulting provides end-to-end project management services — from initial feasibility and methodology design through deployment oversight to international credit verification. The team ensures that every element of the 10-year programme meets Gold Standard and Verra certification requirements, manages monitoring and evaluation protocols, and delivers the rigorous documentation that global carbon buyers demand.
Ten Years. 500,000 Cookstoves. One Commitment.
The metrics are unambiguous. The scale is unprecedented. Nepal Treasure Carbon commits to deploying a verified, measured, carbon-positive cookstove programme across 500,000 households over the next decade.
