How do cookstove projects generate carbon credits?

Nearly 2.4 billion people rely on firewood and charcoal (woodfuel) for household cooking. As around 30% of the harvested woodfuel is unsustainable (the trees cut are not replanted), the combustion of this wood results in additional GHG emissions into our atmosphere. This is equivalent to around 1.0 Gt CO2e/year or 2% of global emissions.

Because they are more efficient than traditional open-fires, improved cookstoves allow to reduce the burned wood by at least a factor two and hence limit the additional GHG emissions. But how do we estimate the number of credits (or tCO2e reduced) thanks to the improved cookstoves (ICS) projects? If the principle is straightforward, the methodological approach to estimate the emission reduction must be more elaborated to certify in the most relevant manner the emission of carbon credits.
