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.

Restoration enters into a long-term forward offtake agreement with project developer via ERPA with partial prepayment.

Restoration serves as a wholesale provider of high-integrity project-based carbon credits to the voluntary and compliance markets.
