What we do
Restoration capitalizes on investment and arbitrage opportunities in the environmental commodities markets. Our initial strategy captures value at the intersection of global compliance and voluntary carbon markets.
For Developers
Restoration serves as an offtaker to carbon project developers, providing a critical demand signal that unlocks the rest of the carbon finance capital stack. We target carbon removal projects with Core Carbon Principle designation, compliance eligibility, or Article 6 qualification.
For Buyers
Restoration provides high-quality, high-integrity credits to large enterprises, multinationals, and government entities for both compliance and voluntary use cases. We specialize in long-term forward purchase commitments and large-volume portfolio construction.
For Investors
Restoration structures intelligent, risk-adjusted exposure to carbon as an asset class, targeting above-market returns and measurable impact. We curate both short-term and long-term vehicles, leveraging our proprietary ICOS technology to identify and capitalize on market dislocations.
The Power of the offtake
The offtake agreement - typically in the form of an ERPA (Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement) - serves as the lynchpin in the carbon finance capital stack. Offtake agreements typically consist of an initial prepayment and long-term results-based financing, aligning incentives between project developers and investors or buyer. Early-stage projects receive critical funding, partnerships, and support to scale activities and achieve maximum impact. As projects generate returns, profits enable further investing into environmental initiatives, creating a continuous cycle of ecosystem restoration and climate impact. All parties benefit from a high-quality project that delivers on its promises.
Investor/Buyer Benefits
As the offtaker, Restoration benefits from locked in preferential pricing and predictable supply. Shortfall mechanisms and milestone-based payments provide downside protection, while uncapped appreciation of the contracts provide equity-level returns potential in a shorter time horizon. Generally speaking, carbon markets are also uncorrelated with major stock indices and index ETFs, providing a unique diversification opportunity.
Developer Benefits
The offtake agreement provides the developer with funding, stability, and a demand signal – key ingredients for designing and developing high-integrity carbon projects. This buying commitment improves the bankability of the developer and acts as critical non-dilutive capital, unlocking less expensive debt or equity funding for the developer. In turn, a well-capitalized project can execute with integrity and precision.
Restoration’s proprietary software platform surfaces the highest-quality carbon opportunities globally. Our in-house technology’s algorithm evaluates over 25,000 projects from more than 3,000 developers and 500 methodologies using 43 rigorously calibrated metrics spanning commercial potential, environmental integrity, and risk considerations.
With real time tracking of global markets and geopolitical developments, ICO2S delivers forward-looking insights and trend analysis to power smarter investment decisions.
The Power
of the Offtake
Restoration negotiates offtake agreements via ERPAs (Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreements) with project developers typically over a 5-10 year term. Upfront prepay financing supports initial project development and galvanizes essential climate action to deliver benefits to ecosystems and local communities. Upon issuance, Restoration pays on delivery for credits at a fixed price, enabling commercialization and further portfolio development. This forward commitment reduces project risk, accelerates implementation, and attracts additional investment, demonstrating the catalytic power of the offtake.
The value of the ERPA comes from the aligned incentives and benefits between projects, developers, and Restoration in tandem. Early-stage projects receive critical funding, partnerships, and support to scale activities and achieve maximum impact. As projects generate returns, profits enable further investing into environmental initiatives, creating a continuous cycle of ecosystem restoration and climate impact. Both parties benefit from a high-quality project that delivers on its promises.
