Investment Opportunities

Exceptional Returns Through DOM-TOM Fiscal Advantages

French Overseas Territories offer unmatched fiscal incentives for industrial R&D projects — multiplying investor returns by 2–3× compared to mainland France. Every €1.5M invested deploys over €7.5M in productive assets, thanks to a unique combination of tax credits, grants, and defiscalization.

Research & Innovation Tax Credits

Doubled vs Mainland France

Mainland France

CIR (Research Tax Credit):30%
CII (Innovation Tax Credit):20%

Standard research and innovation tax credits

DOM-TOM

CIR (Research Tax Credit):50%
CII (Innovation Tax Credit):40%

Enhanced rates for overseas territories

Impact for Investors

An investor financing a deeptech industrial project in DOM-TOM sees fiscal returns nearly doubled. This applies to all R&D and innovation expenditures: process development, equipment testing, pilot validation, and scale-up activities.

Investment Defiscalization (Lodeom)

Up to 60% tax reduction on productive investments

Eligible Assets

Industrial equipment and machinery
Production facilities and buildings
Renewable energy infrastructure
Circular economy projects (biochar, pyrolysis)

Concrete Example

Investor deploys:€1M
Tax reduction (60%):-€600K
Net cash investment:€400K

for €1M productive asset

This is not a loan or delayed benefit—it's an immediate tax reduction that directly lowers the investment threshold.

Effective Leverage

Each €1 invested deploys over €5 in productive assets, funding two operational pilot facilities — one focused on biochar from agricultural residues and one on marine biomass (sargassum).

This fiscal leverage is unavailable anywhere else in the world and positions Rekarbon as the most capital-efficient carbon removal technology in the DOM-TOM region.

Summary

Each stage compounds technological validation, fiscal leverage, and verified carbon credit generation, ensuring Rekarbon grows capital-efficiently while delivering measurable climate impact.

Why Now?

Four converging factors create optimal timing

CSRD Regulation (2024-2025)

EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive mandates verifiable carbon offsetting. Immediate demand for traceable carbon credits from European corporates.

Market Maturation

Premium pricing established for MRV-verified carbon removal. Buyers now pay 300€ vs 30€/tCO₂e for traceable credits—10× difference validates our business model.

Technology Readiness

IoT sensors + edge computing + digital twins make real-time traceability economically viable at scale. Technology risk eliminated.

Fiscal Window

DOM-TOM advantages currently optimal for 2025-2027 deployment. Early movers capture maximum fiscal benefits before potential policy changes.

Risk Mitigation

How fiscal advantages reduce investment risk

Technology risk

Eliminated

Pyrolysis is proven technology. Biochar carbon sequestration scientifically validated by DBFZ, IFREMER, Cornell University.

Market risk

Minimized

DOM-TOM are captive markets with 70-90% import dependency. Demand for local solutions is structural, not cyclical.

Regulatory risk

Managed

CSRD creates locked-in demand for traceable carbon credits. EU commitment to Net Zero 2050 ensures long-term policy support.

Financial risk

Mitigated by fiscal advantages

With 60-80% of investment covered by tax credits and grants, downside is limited. Even partial success generates positive returns.

Execution risk

Controlled

Experienced team, institutional backing (Station F, FNSEA, CCI Réunion), and phased deployment approach minimize execution uncertainty.
