Nature project origination consulting

We help project developers strengthen their projects to meet the integrity standards buyers and financiers expect, and secure long-term demand for their carbon credits through multi-year forward offtake agreements rather than one-time, spot-priced sales.

Build your project for demand beyond the spot market

What is Earthly’s origination consulting?

Earthly’s origination consulting helps project developers design, strengthen and prepare high-integrity nature-based projects for the market.

We help your project align with evolving market trends, policies, integrity frameworks and offtaker requirements, strengthening its integrity and commercial readiness for long-term demand.

We can support you across the project development journey:

  • Pre-feasibility screening.

  • Implementation due diligence.

  • Project design, PDD writing, registration and issuance.

  • Multi-year forward offtake agreements.

Who is Earthly's origination consulting for?

Earthly's origination consulting is designed for project developers and project managers looking to strengthen the integrity and commercial readiness of their nature-based projects.

1. Developing an early-stage project?

If your project is still early-stage and you're looking for support with design, PDD writing, registration, and issuance, we'll help you build it up to standard.

2. Fell short during Earthly's pre-assessment?

If Earthly's pre-assessment identified integrity gaps in your project, we'll help you close them and get it ready for our marketplace.

3. Already meeting a baseline?

If your project already meets a baseline and you want to use Earthly's Keystone integrity framework to strengthen your position, we'll help you secure better terms, sooner, through long-term forward offtake agreements.

Keystone 3.0: our holistic integrity framework

Less than 9% of over 1,000 projects screened have met our minimum standards.

168+ data points = De-risked investment

Keystone 3.0 assesses 168 data points across carbon, people and biodiversity, compared with 20-90 indicators used by typical market standards. This depth helps identify where your project is strong, where it can be improved, and how it can better meet the expectations of buyers and financiers.

Our framework works both ways: it gives you a clear, transparent methodology for assessing and strengthening your project, while giving buyers and financiers greater confidence in its integrity.
