Frequently asked questions

Carbon rights are the rights to claim carbon with a project/land area. The project proponent holds carbon rights, which gives them the ability to claim credits on the registry. These rights are not held by the pre-purchaser upon payment. Instead, the pre-purchased credits are legally allocated to the buyer through a purchase agreement.

The bid and purchase price do not include any tax liabilities or levies. Tax liabilities and levies will be split by the project developer, buyer, and financier (if applicable) when due.

The project developer has ownership of the credits upon issuance. Credits will be transferred directly to the buyer's account within 30 business days if the end buyer has paid for the credits (either to the financier or directly to the project, as per agreement).

The purchase agreement is governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, or wherever the buyer deems appropriate.

Yes, an insurance option for certain projects will be provided after the auction.

By design, the credits will expire (and not roll over to the next year).  All relevant documentation will be provided to the buyer before the auction starts so that buyers can conduct their own risk assessment on each project before participating in an auction.  For any given year of issuance (vintage year), credits will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.  For example, if Buyer A and Buyer B have purchased credits for the vintage year of 2030, but Buyer A has purchased before Buyer B; Buyer A will have priority over Buyer B in receiving the credits that are issued and verified. This is aligned with industry standards.

Projects have specifically allocated the auctioned credits to Sequestr and will issue the credits to Sequestr’s buyers before buyers of any external buyers.

The credits for any particular year (vintage) you have purchased will be directly deposited into your carbon registry account (eg. Verra account) within 30 business days of credit issuance on the registry, if you have paid for the credits (either to the financier or directly to the projects, as per agreement).

You are required to pay for the credits at the agreed-upon price within 30 days of the credit’s issuance, for the amount that is issued. Payment shall either be sent to the project developer or the financier, depending on the purchase agreement.

After your pre-purchase credits, Sequestr will send a Voluntary Emissions Reductions Purchase Agreement (VERPA) between the buyer, the project, and Sequestr, which outlines the legal responsibilities of all parties for this transaction.

Once the auction starts, you will have a specific amount of time to purchase any number of units of available credits until the inventory is gone, or until the next batch is available for purchase - whichever comes first.

You must log into your account and register your interest in any particular project. Auction participation must be approved by Sequestr and is given on a first come first serve basis (there are limited slots per auction). Once approved, you will be notified to sign an NDA on the project to receive more documents and the invitation to bid.

You must first create an account and create a company profile which will be reviewed and approved by Sequestr. It is optional to fill out a company profile, however, we strongly suggest you fill out the company profile as the more details you fill out the company profile, the more tailored project recommendations you will receive.
