CDR.fyi publishes guide on carbon removal purchase structures

CDR.fyi has released a new section of its Buyer's Guide detailing four types of carbon removal purchase agreements: spot, forward, pre-purchase, and offtake. The guide explains how each structure works, who carries the risk, and when to use them, aiming to help purchasers identify suitable agreements. This initiative addresses the significant gap between contracted and delivered durable carbon removal, with only 1.7 million tonnes of 50.5 million contracted tonnes delivered as of October 2026. The publication provides examples of real deals for each structure, such as SAP and Climeworks for spot, and Microsoft and North Star Carbon Solutions for offtake. Understanding these structures is crucial for scaling the market by providing buyers with certainty and suppliers with bankable commitments.
