Execute the Purchase

Once a supplier has been selected, the contract becomes the central document that defines what you are buying, how it will be delivered, and what happens if expectations are not met. Carbon removal contracts carry unique features compared with traditional procurement, including future delivery, verification dependencies, permanence obligations, and integrity safeguards.

To support buyers in navigating these complexities, CDR.fyi is hosting the Open Standard Carbon Removal Offtake Agreement (OSCAR). For more information on contract elements, clause-level explanations, drafting rationale, and negotiation guidance, please refer to the OSCAR section and the OSCAR Guidebook.

Note: the Guidebook is explanatory only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such. Parties considering entering into CDR credit transactions should consult qualified legal counsel.
