Carbon Offtake Prepayments for Project Developers
We help carbon project developers secure upfront capital from buyers willing to pay in advance for future verified credits. We design and arrange Emission Reduction Purchase Agreements (ERPAs), insurance layers and bank controls so funds can flow before issuance. Minimum aggregate size USD 10,000,000. We don’t fund directly—our role is to structure, underwrite and connect you to real offtakers and lenders.
