Engagement Pathway · 7 Stages
The ACM partnership follows a structured seven-stage engagement process from initial proposal to first feedstock delivery. Each stage is documented and non-binding until the Circular Offtake Agreement (COA) is executed at Stage 4. Carbotura finances 100% of construction at all stages — Phoenix's only obligation at Stage 1 is to review this document.
