Restoration Climate

What Restoration Climate does

Restoration Climate (legal entity Restoration Climate Capital, Inc.) is a New York-based environmental commodities firm building investment, sales, and trading infrastructure for the carbon markets. The company positions itself as a long-term offtaker and counterparty to project developers, sourcing high-integrity carbon credits via Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreements (ERPAs) and reselling or syndicating them to corporates, multinationals, institutional investors, and governments for both compliance and voluntary use cases. Its counterparties span the carbon finance stack — including Article 6-tagged and Core Carbon Principle-eligible projects — and the firm claims the founding team has transacted more than $1 billion in project-based credits across earlier environmental markets (SO2, NOx, weather derivatives, Kyoto Protocol AAUs, EU Allowances).

The firm's core technology is ICO2S, a proprietary software platform that screens over 25,000 projects from more than 3,000 developers and 500 methodologies using 43 calibrated metrics spanning commercial potential, environmental integrity, and risk. ICO2S underpins a multi-step environmental due diligence process that reviews Project Design Documents, assesses impact quantification tools, and compiles impact reporting data. The platform is positioned as the firm's primary differentiation versus generalist intermediaries, enabling it to evaluate supply at scale and standardise integrity assessment.

Commercially, Restoration Climate monetises through transactional economics on offtake agreements and investor co-investment / syndication, with deal-specific pricing not publicly disclosed. It operates a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market targeting four horizontal segments — project developers, institutional investors, corporations, and governments — via direct field sales and strategic partnerships rather than self-serve channels. The firm is privately held, filed a $10M Rule 506(c) exempt offering in January 2026 (~$3M sold to 4 investors as of the filing), and has fewer than 10 employees. Its single most prominent disclosed transaction is a 2024 commitment to purchase 500,000 soil carbon removal credits from Boomitra's Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project, syndicated alongside Deloitte NSE, DP World, Ethereum Climate Platform, and the Government of Singapore.

Revenue model

1. Carbon Credit Offtake Agreements: Restoration Climate invests in carbon credits generated by projects via offtake agreements. A carbon offtake agreement is a contractual arrangement in which a buyer commits to purchasing a specified volume of carbon credits from a project developer, often before the credits are issued. This forward commitment provides developers with revenue certainty, making it easier to secure financing, unlock further investment opportunities, and scale climate projects.

Emerging players

• Sylvera: Sylvera provides independent carbon credit ratings and project analytics using satellite data and ML — comparable to Restoration's ICO₂S platform in evaluating credit quality, though Sylvera sells ratings externally rather than capturing offtake economics.

Direct peers

• Flowcarbon: Flowcarbon (where Restoration co-founder Evan Deutsch previously worked) tokenizes and trades verified carbon credits for institutional buyers — directly comparable as a carbon credit trading/aggregation business with a tech-enabled sourcing model.
• Cloverly: Cloverly is an API-based carbon credit marketplace serving enterprises with verified credits — competing in the same enterprise-buyer intermediation segment with comparable technology-led sourcing.
• South Pole Group: South Pole is one of the largest carbon project developers and credit providers globally, sourcing, developing, and selling credits to corporates and governments — directly overlapping Restoration's offtaker-and-distributor model in the voluntary and compliance markets.
• Anew Climate: Anew Climate is a large environmental commodities company that develops, finances, and trades carbon and renewable energy credits, competing head-to-head with Restoration for both developer offtake mandates and corporate buyer relationships.
• Patch: Patch provides a carbon credit API and marketplace that connects developers with corporate buyers — comparable as a credit intermediation business with technology-driven sourcing and matching.
• Pachama: Pachama operates a technology-driven carbon credit marketplace that vets nature-based projects using remote sensing and ML and sells high-quality credits to enterprise buyers — a comparable combination of proprietary evaluation technology and credit intermediation.
• NCX (Natures Carbon Exchange): NCX runs a marketplace connecting forest landowners with corporate carbon credit buyers, providing project sourcing, MRV, and trading infrastructure for nature-based credits — a closely comparable intermediation model.

Broad incumbents

• Gold Standard: Gold Standard is a leading carbon credit standard and registry for both compliance and voluntary markets, with overlapping influence on credit integrity frameworks that Restoration relies on for its high-quality credit positioning.
• Verra: Verra operates the largest voluntary carbon credit registry (VCS) globally — a broad incumbent in the same market infrastructure that Restoration's offtake model depends on, with overlapping influence on credit quality standards.
