For carbon buyers
Know what a credit really costs, and whether it'll be delivered.
Before you sign: an independent read on price and project economics, and whether the offtake will be financed to delivery, so you don't reopen it.
Insights into project costs
Understand a project's real costs.
Understand a project's real costs: its all-in cost to remove a tonne, and the implied carbon price it needs after its other revenue.
That shows you whether the credit is additional, whether the project genuinely needs carbon finance to happen, and gives you a fair price grounded in comparable projects rather than guesswork.
The pain
An offtake that can't be financed never delivers.
You overpay on opaque pricing, you can't see delivery risk, and the very clauses you add to protect yourself, penalties and termination rights, can make your offtake un-bankable, so the project can't raise and never delivers. When it doesn't, you're out the money you spent and short the credits you're counting on to hit your net-zero targets.
Will it get financed
See whether it can raise.
See whether the project can raise financing against your offtake. That one question decides whether your credits get delivered.
Kumo reads it the way a lender does, from 300+ assessed projects: contracted cash flows, tenor, feedstock, coverage.
Sign a bankable offtake
Get it bankable before you sign.
Kumo shows you what institutional lenders require in an offtake, so it's bankable from day one: enough of the cash flows contracted, a tenor that matches the debt, feedstock security, and termination lenders can fund against.
Get it right before you sign, so you never reopen it (and pay the legal cost again) when the project raises.
- Termination right
- 8 in 10 lenders accept a 65% delivery threshold.
- Contract assignment
- 1 in 2 loans requires the offtake assigned to the lender.
- Firm volumes
- Lenders finance firm volumes only, at fixed prices.
Why Kumo
Kumo owns the financial and cost view.
Quality assessors tell you if a credit is good. They don't tell you if the project will get financed and built. Kumo owns the financial delivery risk and the cost transparency: financier-grade diligence and data that help buyers, projects, financiers, and insurers find a fair allocation of risk, so delivery risk is shared, not carried alone.
