What we do

Making climate action easy and de-risked with credible carbon removal

We combine software, scientific-data and hands-on expertise to streamline and de-risk your company's journey to net-zero. 


The world's top climate-action companies are shifting from buying carbon credits to directly financing high-quality carbon removal projects. Thousands of other companies, big and small, must follow but lack the resources, expertise, or budgets to navigate the market effectively.


For new and existing buyers, our digital platform and end-to-end service lowers the barrier to access and scale carbon removal projects in a transparent and cost-effective way. Our proprietary tech enables companies to discover, finance and monitor pre-vetted projects that suit all business goals, budgets and areas of interest.

Our three-step diligence process

1

Qualification

An initial assessment to understand a project developer’s credibility and assess the suitability of the project as a financing opportunity. Qualification is based on extensive meetings with developers, data sourced from both internal and market sources, as well as information obtained from standards and verification bodies.

2

Spot assurance

A thorough evaluation of the project, suitable for buyers looking to purchase spot credits. It covers team risk, implementation risk, quality, carbon and scientific considerations, scalability potential, financial viability, environmental impact, and certification status.

3

Offtake assurance

A deeper analysis focusing on considerations necessary to de-risk offtake transactions. It addresses risks related to deliveries, financial feasibility, and scaling for long-term contracts. Emphasizes pricing, market development, project feasibility, financial de-risking, scaling, scientific soundness, contract terms, and deliveries.

Our due diligence framework

Technology

The technology behind the project is assessed, focusing on the process, durability, uncertainty, and additionality to ensure robustness and innovation.
