7,075 units delivered through project partnerships.

Two Sustain Plus programmes delivered 2,075 EcoMini units. A separate South Pole deployment delivered 5,000 units. Together, these completed deployments demonstrate HRS's experience bringing heating and cooking systems into the field.

Combined total and absence of overlap: HRS management confirmation, 10 September 2026. Sustain Plus figures also draw on the company project report. Unit counts are not carbon-credit counts.

Case study · Sustain Plus

Two programmes. 2,075 EcoMini units delivered.

Working through Sustain Plus and regional delivery partners, HRS brought subsidy-supported heating and cooking systems to Himalayan communities. The phase-2 project report records 575 units distributed in the first programme and a further 1,500 in the second.

Figures come from the company project report. They are distribution records — not independent audited impact verification of health outcomes, fuel savings or continuing usage.

Programme 1

575 EcoMini units

Programme 2

1,500 EcoMini units

Phase 2: January–August 2022 per the project report.

Case study · South Pole

5,000 units deployed through the South Pole carbon programme.

HRS completed a 5,000-unit deployment through its carbon programme with South Pole. The Himalayan Rocket Stove Project in India (GS10797) achieved Gold Standard certification, and the public registry records 60,905 credits issued across 2021–2024 vintages as of 9 September 2026.

Deployment count and no overlap with Sustain Plus: HRS management confirmation, 10 September 2026. Registry evidence supports certification and issuance separately. Deployment complete does not mean the full carbon programme has ended — crediting, trading and related administration continue. Credits are not stove counts; issued credits are not attributed solely to this 5,000-unit cohort.

Sustain Plus — deployment geography

Phase 2 originally allocated 500 units each to Ladakh, Darjeeling and tribal Himachal Pradesh. After relocation of 150 units from Ladakh to Sangla/Kinnaur, reported final distribution:

  • Ladakh350
  • Darjeeling500
  • Himachal Pradesh (incl. Sangla/Kinnaur)650

Regional counts are shown once only — relocated units are not double-counted. No regional or model-mix breakdown is published for the South Pole deployment.

Delivery is more than hardware

Suitable systems matter — so do local distribution, installation and user guidance, and support after handover. The Sustain Plus report also notes the difficulty of launching after peak winter buying: plan winter programmes early enough for household demand and regional transport conditions.

We can discuss how completed delivery experience informs a new geography and application — without treating past distribution as a guarantee of future outcomes.
