For carbon buyers

Buy evidence, not a promise.

CAP’s buyer framework is designed for due diligence, transparency and registry traceability. It does not represent current inventory, issued credits, active buyers, contracted revenue or a guarantee of supply.

Potential sales channels

Commercialization begins only after the necessary evidence exists.

Forward ERPA

Contract before issuance only where project-development finance is appropriate. Delivery remains subject to validation, verification and issuance, with delivery-failure and replacement provisions.

Bilateral post-issuance sale

Direct corporate sale specifying project, vintage, quantity, price and registry-to-registry transfer after credits exist.

Brokered sale

Broker mandate with commission disclosure, buyer KYC, non-circumvention and conflict-of-interest controls.

Exchange / marketplace

Consider listing only after confirming platform acceptance. Listing and transaction fees are configurable; no integrations are represented.

Retirement service

Record buyer, beneficiary and purpose; complete registry retirement; deliver retirement evidence. Retirement is final and cannot be resold.

Benefit distribution

Follow executed rights and benefit-sharing agreements. Fleet fuel savings remain separate from carbon-credit proceeds.

Buyer due diligence

Data room checklist.

Project identity and rights

Asset population, fleet participation agreements, data-access rights, carbon-rights/environmental-attribute agreements, ownership/lease and fuel-purchaser arrangements, benefit-sharing terms and disclosure of conflicts.

Methodology and baseline

Eligibility memorandum, target methodology status, baseline and project periods, comparability design, additionality and common-practice evidence, regulatory-surplus assessment, exclusions and uncertainty treatment.

Monitoring and assurance

Monitoring plan, raw and cleaned data lineage, fuel reconciliation, telematics, maintenance, LVEP implementation records, QA/QC log, independent-review or verification findings and corrective actions.

Registry and policy status

Registry project status, methodology acceptance, issuance evidence where available, Article 6 / corresponding-adjustment treatment, host-country status and any transfer constraints.

Commercial delivery

Credit inventory ledger, vintage, price terms, broker role, KYC/AML controls, ERPA or spot-sale terms, registry transfer evidence, settlement and retirement instruction.

Buyer CRM

Controlled progression, no invented counterparties.

The local Operations Console includes a demonstration buyer pipeline. It has no real buyer records or commercial terms.

Pipeline stage	CAP evidence / control	Buyer action
Prospect → Qualified	Screen fit, use case and conflict controls.	Provide high-level eligibility criteria.
NDA → Data room	Approve disclosure pack and access logs.	Review protected evidence subject to agreed terms.
Due diligence → Indicative offer	Clarify methodology, risks, evidence and conditionality.	Perform technical, legal and claims review.
Term sheet → ERPA negotiation	Set delivery, remedies, price, transfer and disclosure provisions.	Negotiate only with authorized party.
Contracted → Delivery pending	Track monitoring, VVB/registry milestones and conditions precedent.	Recognize delivery remains conditional.
Issued → Transferred → Retired	Maintain serial-number, transfer, settlement and retirement traceability.	Direct retirement beneficiary and purpose when credits are retired.
Closed	Archive final documentation and claims status.	Retain evidence for internal reporting.

Inventory disclosure standard

Credit inventory requires complete state tracking.

Required ledger fields

Project; methodology; registry; country; monitoring period; vintage; tonnes estimated, verified, issued, contracted, available, transferred and retired; Article 6 status; buyer; sale price; settlement status; and actual serial-number range when issued.

Current CAP representation

No actual credit serial numbers, quantities, price, buyers, registry account, transfer, retirement or sale are presented. The console ledger intentionally starts at zero issued credits.

Never infer availability: estimated tonnes are not verified tonnes; verified tonnes are not issued credits; issued credits are not sold credits; sold credits are not retired credits.
