For the planet — and for your business
Patch is working to align the incentives to both scale climate solutions and help your company deliver on its sustainability goals.
Offtake helps you lock in access and prove demand
Climate projects need to establish long-term demand to unlock the next level of scale. Buyers need consistent access to credits at prices and amounts that work for their business. Multi-year offtake agreements deliver for both sides of the market.
Trust in your credits’ integrity — every project type
Patch’s trust and safety framework determines which projects clear our high bar for credit integrity. Our process works on a methodological level, so every project has a path to prove itself and every buyer has confidence in their credits.
