Carbon Impact Bond
A structured instrument designed to finance large-scale nature-based projects. Investors benefit from fixed return plus a variable upside indexed to verified carbon issuance (VCUs).The bond channels capital directly into measurable impact projects certified under Verra, ICVCM, and Article 6.4 frameworks.
Streaming Agreements
Through streaming finance, investors provide upfront capital in exchange for a share of future carbon credits or ITMOs generated by verified projects.
This model ensures early participation, predictable returns, and direct exposure to the growth of high-integrity climate assets.
Multi-Year Offtake Agreements
Secure long-term access to carbon credits at predefined, transparent prices.
Our offtake structures provide stability for both developers and investors, linking verified supply with global demand from corporates, governments, and compliance buyers.
ITMO Transactions (Article 6.2)
We facilitate bilateral cooperation agreements under the Paris Agreement, enabling sovereigns and institutions to purchase Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) that contribute to nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and global carbon neutrality.
