Key Terms

offtake agreement, feedstocks

2 terms

offtake agreement financial

"through its existing Shell offtake agreement"

A contract in which a buyer commits to purchase a set portion or percentage of a producer’s future output—such as minerals, energy, agricultural goods, or manufactured products—often over a multi‑year period. It matters to investors because it creates predictable sales and cash flow, reduces the risk of unsold inventory, and can make projects easier to finance; think of it like pre‑selling future harvests or securing long‑term customers before production begins.

feedstocks technical

"renewable, low-carbon feedstocks and agricultural byproducts"

Feedstocks are the basic raw materials—such as crude oil, natural gas, agricultural crops, or recycled waste—fed into an industrial process to make products like fuels, chemicals, plastics or fertilizers. For investors, feedstock type, cost and availability act like the price of flour for a bakery: they drive production costs, profit margins, supply reliability and environmental footprint, so changes can materially affect a company’s competitiveness and value.
