Direct Purchase Simplifying the Path from Your Project to the Market
At Zero Carbon, we recognize that each project has unique needs and that carbon credits can be marketed through a variety of channels. Direct procurement is one of the most efficient and transparent ways to connect project developers directly with end buyers, eliminating intermediaries and facilitating customized agreements that benefit both parties.
What is Direct Purchase?
Direct procurement is a transaction model in which a buyer (company, government, or institution) acquires carbon credits directly from the project developer, without intermediaries. This approach allows for:
Greater control
Both parties negotiate specific terms, prices, and delivery conditions.
Complete transparency
The buyer knows the origin, methodology , and impacts associated with the credits.
Long-term relationships
Fosters ongoing collaboration and recurring support for high-integrity carbon projects.
Benefits of Direct Purchase
For buyers
- Access to credit with verifiable track records and clear environmental/social benefits.
- Opportunity to customize agreements ( e.g. , advance purchase, multi-year contracts ).
- Possibility of visiting projects and validating impacts on site.
For developers
- Better prices by eliminating intermediary commissions.
- Direct connection with companies committed to sustainability
- Financial stability through predictable, long-term contracts.
