Companies signed $12.25 billion in carbon offtake agreements in 2025

Companies signed carbon offtake agreements worth approximately $12.25 billion in 2025, according to Sylvera data cited by Regreener. These multi-year contracts, typically spanning 5 to 15 years, commit buyers to purchasing future carbon credits at an agreed price and schedule. This volume significantly exceeds the value of credits retired on the spot market in the same year. The trend indicates a shift among corporate buyers towards securing long-term supply and price certainty for high-integrity carbon credits, particularly for durable carbon removal projects. Such agreements provide project developers with the contracted revenue necessary to finance and scale their initiatives.
