Carbon finance

Extend your runway.

Deliver your tonnes.

Non-dilutive capital for carbon removal projects. Pre-qualify in minutes, access multiple Tier 1 banks, get funded in minutes - not years.

The problem

You have the contracts.
But cash doesn't arrive for years.

Carbon removal is sold years before it's delivered. You carry the full cost of infrastructure and operations upfront, but revenue doesn't arrive until you deliver. If your runway is 18 months, no buyer will commit to a 5-year deal with you.

90%

of contracts are future-dated

You're paid on delivery, not on signing. The cost of scaling sits on your balance sheet for years before a single credit is invoiced.

18mo

average runway for suppliers

Not long enough. Buyers and their procurement teams are scrutinising supplier financial health before signing multi-year deals. Short runway kills long-term contracts.

12-18mo

to get a bank deal done alone

Going direct to a bank means navigating credit committees, structuring from scratch, and competing for attention against industries banks already understand.

CARBON FINANCE PRODUCT

One product.
Three ways to get funded.

Every project is at a different stage. We offer three financing solutions, from fast working capital to large-scale infrastructure debt, and match you to the right one.

Offtake finance

Term:

2–3 years

Secured by:

Offtakes + Insurance

Fast, non-dilutive capital secured against your signed offtakes and insurance. No collateral required, get funded against contracts you've already signed.

Project finance

Term:

3–5 years

Secured by:

Offtakes + Collateral

Longer-term debt for scaling infrastructure and operations. Secured by offtakes, insurance, and project assets, unlocking larger amounts over longer horizons.

Outcome bonds

Term:

10-12 years

Secured by:

World Bank guarantee

Large-scale, impact-linked financing backed by the World Bank. Designed for carbon removal projects in World Bank-eligible countries.

HOW IT WORKS

From first conversation to capital in months.

Going directly to a bank takes 12–18 months — if it works at all.
We've built a faster path: structured, bankable, and backed by Tier 1 partners.

Pre-qualify

You're paid on delivery, not on signing. The cost of scaling sits on your balance sheet for years before a single credit is invoiced.

3

Deal approval

We structure your deal and take it to the right bank from our Tier 1 partner network. You get the best structure for your project, not the only one a single bank offers.

3-4 months

Delivery & repayment

As you deliver and your buyers pay, those payments service the loan. Each completed deal builds your credit history, unlocking larger financing as you scale.

FINANCING ELIGIBILITY

You're a fit if:

Even if you don't meet every criterion today, our pre-qualification tells you exactly why and what needs to change to unlock capital.

$5M+ in signed offtakes with creditworthy buyers

Signed or near-signed agreements with financially stable counterparties. Major corporates, tech firms, or aviation buyers.

Delivery within 2–5 years, registry listed or pending

Timelines that align with standard financing terms, with credits issued or pending on a recognised carbon registry.

Can pass science, ops, and financial due diligence

Your project can withstand the rigour that banks and insurers require before committing capital.

Delivery risk remedies
in place

You have a plan for when things don't go as expected. Buffer pools, contingency mechanisms, or contractual protections.

For capital providers

One platform.
Two paths to value.

CUR8 sits between carbon removal suppliers and the capital they need to scale. For banks and institutional investors, that means pre-screened, bankable deal flow with the due diligence already done.

Scientific, operational, and financial due diligence, translated into investment-grade assessments that banks and insurers can act on.

Standardised, repeatable structures/models across CDR pathways.

Insurance-backed deals designed to mitigate delivery risk.

Case study

Time is money.
UNDO saved both with CUR8.

Of its kind

CUR8 helped UNDO unlock upfront capital from Standard Chartered, secured against a 5-year offtake with British Airways. Non-dilutive financing, structured in months, now a repeatable model for carbon removal suppliers.

UNDO accessed capital before delivery, scaling operations without giving up equity.

The deal established a credit history with a Tier 1 bank, opening the door to larger financing as UNDO grows.

“Access to debt finance for project developers is a critical component, if we are to achieve rapid scaling of the carbon removal industry”
