Offtake Agreements: What They Are and Their Role in Carbon Projects

With the development of carbon projects in agriculture and the growth of the voluntary carbon market, the term offtake—a pre-purchase or offtake agreement—is being used increasingly often.

Additionality: The Key to Trust in Carbon Projects

Carbon removal projects in agriculture are playing an increasingly important role in the voluntary carbon market. Alongside concepts such as monitoring, verification, and certification, the term “additionality” is being used more frequently.

In simple terms, additionality means that a project delivers real climate impact that would not have occurred without the project itself
