**Step 3: Enter Basic Project Information**

* **Project Name:** Enter the name of your carbon removal project in the 'Project Name' field. This should be the official name that is recognized by regulators and stakeholders.

**Step 4: Select Agreement Types**

* **Agreement Types Offered:** Click on the drop-down menu to select the type of agreement you are offering. For carbon removal projects, you will be selecting “Pre-Purchase", "Offtake" or "Both”.

**Step 5: Choose Vintages**

* **Vintages:** Check the boxes next to the years for which you are offering carbon credits. Each year represents a vintage, which is the year the carbon removal is expected to occur.

**Step 6: Set Pricing**

* **Price by Vintage:** Enter the price for pre-purchases and offtakes for each selected vintage. Ensure the pricing reflects the value and expected market conditions for those years. Note: Buyers typically expect a discount for pre-purchases as they are paying up-front.

**Step 7: Specify Insured Delivery Options**

* **Insured Delivery:** If you have insured delivery of carbon credits, select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu. This assures buyers that their purchase is protected. More information will be collected before listing approval.

**Step 8: Define Project Capacity and Offering Volume (Tonnes)**

* **Total Number of Project Tonnes Expected by Vintage:** Enter the expected total number of tonnes of carbon that the project will remove per year.
* **Total Volume of Pre-Purchases Offered by Vintage:** Input the total volume of carbon credits you are offering for pre-purchase per year.
* **Total Number of Project Tonnes Offered by Vintage:** Input the total number of project tonnes of carbon removal you are offering for sale per year.

**Step 9: Review Your Listing**

Before submitting your listing, review all the information you have entered. Ensure that the details are accurate and reflect the offerings you intend to make available to potential buyers.

**Step 10: Submit Your Listing**

Once you have completed all the necessary fields and reviewed the information, click the “Submit” button to list your Offtake & Pre-Purchase Offering on the marketplace.

**Step 11: Await Verification**&#x20;

Your offering will go through a verification process before it becomes visible to potential buyers. Ensure you provide any additional information required by Aetlas to verify your project.

**Additional Tips:**

* **Documentation:** Have all relevant project documentation on hand for reference when filling out the listing details.
* **Market Research:** Conduct market research to determine competitive pricing for your carbon credits.
* **Consultation:** Consider consulting with an Aetlas team member to ensure your offering is structured effectively. You can[ schedule a call here.](https://calendly.com/aetlas/1-2-1-with-harry?month=2024-01)
