Contracted doesn't mean Delivered. Quantify your risk.

‍

Are you sure your carbon removal credits are going to be delivered on time and in full? Are you truly confident?

Most carbon removal credits are sold forward, meaning your sustainability team carries the delivery and brand risk. CUR8 Project Assessments quantifies delivery likelihood and prices your risk, enabling you to negotiate better, buy smarter, and protect your claims.

The Problem: Why "Stamps of Approval" Aren't Enough

Today, over 90% of carbon removal purchased is contracted for future delivery. The market operates in a ‘Made to Order’ model, in which the buyer takes on the majority of the uncertainty and all the downside if things don't go as planned. Whether that is: credit delivery risk, brand risk, or financial risk.

Despite this, buyers are told to focus on alignment to standards, methodologies, or gated listing approaches on marketplaces. They are told to trust stamps of approval and treat efficacy and risk as pass or fail - not as something that can be assessed, quantified, and even priced.

Use Cases: Before and After Project Assessments

Scenario 1: Smarter credit procurement (prospective buyer)

Without Project Assessments: Your team has identified a promising carbon removal project that meets all your internal purchasing criteria; however, the earliest delivery is 2027 and the project developer has no track record of delivering on time and in full. You’re unsure whether to be concerned, if the prepayment discount offers fair market value, or which delivery protections, if any, are appropriate to include.

With Project Assessments: Your team identifies a promising new project and commissions a bespoke CUR8 Project Assessment to quantify delivery risk. Within a few days, the assessment is completed and highlights moderate risk in the project’s stated delivery schedule. You use this evidence to negotiate stronger terms before committing, including a credit‑replacement clause, so you can ensure credit delivery  and stand over your public emissions claims with confidence.

Scenario 2: Delays to delivery but how to mitigate against it (existing buyer)

Without Project Assessments: Your company is targeting a Net Zero Operations claim in 2027. You’ve secured several large offtakes to meet this goal. Although delivery dates haven’t arrived yet, one project notifies you that it is certifying with a new registry. Unsure how to interpret the change, you record the update but can’t quantify the potential impact on your Net Zero Operations claim.

With Project Assessments: CUR8 Project Assessments review the change of registry and assess the related risk of delivery likelihood/schedule. Based on this you first proactively renegotiate with the developer for replacement credits ahead of the broader market. Next, you secure a contingency offtake from your existing portfolio. Using Project Assessments, you review standardised analyses across projects and confidently select the best sources for contingency credits at a known target price point.
