Built for Developers.
Designed for Long-Term Partnership.
Restoration Climate partners with developers to help high-quality environmental projects reach scale with the structure, discipline, and market access they require. We combine capital commitment with long-term commercial alignment, working early in the project lifecycle to design financing and offtake solutions that bridge origination and institutional demand. Through structured procurement and deep expertise across voluntary and compliance markets, we reduce execution risk, improve bankability, and help translate project potential into durable, financeable supply.
What We Look For
Restoration evaluates projects through ICO₂S, our proprietary 43-metric framework spanning commercial potential, environmental integrity, and risk.
We have a particular focus on:
ICVCM Core Carbon Principles–eligible methodologies
Compliance-eligible activity
Article 6 Corresponding Adjustment opportunities
High-integrity removals — nature-based and engineered
Projects with co-benefits beyond carbon — water, biodiversity, community
We diversify across geographies, registries, and project types. We give particular consideration to projects supporting communities in developing nations.
Origination Process
01 Originate
Submit your project for ICO₂S evaluation. We respond with a structured indication of interest within two weeks.
02 Due Diligence
A multi-step integrity and environmental review: full Project Design Document analysis, methodology stress test, and site engagement where appropriate.
03 Structure
A long-term ERPA with milestone-based payments, and shortfall mechanisms aligned to your project's economics and risk profile.
04 Partner
Ongoing engagement through delivery, including support on MRV, ratings engagement, and registry requirements.
The Power of the Offtake
The offtake agreement - usually in the form of an ERPA (Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement) - serves as the linchpin in the carbon finance capital stack. Offtake agreements typically consist of long-term results-based financing, aligning incentives between project developers and investors or buyers. Early-stage projects receive critical funding, a bankable demand signal, 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, including Planet Earth, 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 potential uncapped appreciation of the contracts provides an equity-level returns profile 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.
