"Currently we are the only insurer that can guarantee we will pay a claim in high-quality carbon credits because we have those credits on our own balance sheet." CarbonPool co-founder and COO Nandini Wilcke broke down our unique carbon insurance model in this month's #InsurTech Market Update & Analysis. As Nandini mentioned, CarbonPool is applying to receive a world-first license that will allow us to ensure a claims payout of high-quality carbon removal credits within 60 days of a claim. But what does that mean exactly? It means that, by insuring with CarbonPool, project developers can ensure they will always deliver to their buyers. That buyers can be secure in their net zero targets. And that investors and financiers will always receive the return in credits that they expected. At CarbonPool, we believe that having this security at each step in the value chain is vital to driving investments into the market, while bringing maturity and integrity to the VCM in turn. Thanks to Kate MacLeay Crespo and Steve McLaughlin for the opportunity to showcase our insurance approach. #FinTech #InsurTech #Sustainability #CarbonCredits #Insurance

Will you be at #CarbonUnboundEurope2024 in London this week? Reach out to CarbonPool Co-founder and CFO Frederic Olbert, who will be there to discuss the importance of insurance in de-risking #carbonremoval investments, what the insurance industry can do to accelerate the net zero pathway, and how CarbonPool's innovative in-kind carbon insurance can unlock the stability, integrity, and permanence of carbon removal transactions. Reach out to Frederic if you’d like to talk about how carbon insurance can meet your business needs.

Great takeaways from CarbonPool CCO Mathilda Strom from her panel today at #CDRCopenhagen on carbon portfolio risk mitigation, alongside Magnus Drewelies at CEEZER, Karim Rahmani from AFEN, and Dominic Lüdin from Carbonfuture. As Mathilda mentions, there is a growing ecosystem of risk management tools that can help de-risk carbon investments--with in-kind insurance like CarbonPool's being a key part of that infrastructure.

🚨 We are thrilled to announce that CarbonPool is officially a member of IETA, a global carbon markets advocate! CarbonPool has taken an active role in shaping the market's understanding of the necessity of risk mitigation solutions like insurance, from consulting on the EU Commission on CRCF to the ongoing Article 6.4 negotiations. As an IETA member, CarbonPool will be scaling this advocacy to an institutional and market-wide level. 

Buffer pools were created with good reason: in the absence of a traditional risk mitigation solution like insurance, they helped address the permanence issues plaguing carbon removal projects. So what’s gone wrong? Last month we were joined by Injy Johnstone in our webinar to discuss why buffer pools are no longer fit for purpose in a maturing carbon market.

"For CarbonPool, success means unlocking investment in the carbon market and giving companies the confidence to invest in impactful projects." Thank you to Helena Capital for the great profile of CarbonPool co-founder and COO Nandini Wilcke on our vision and her experiences leading a startup as a female founder. Nandini said it best: At CarbonPool, it is our mission to deliver the best insurance products we can to our clients, while making the planet whole in the process.

Buyers and developers in the carbon market - have you considered insurance as a way of securing the delivery and permanence of your carbon credits? As Nandini Wilcke noted in a recent white paper with Renoster, the market’s current risk mitigation mechanism, buffer pools, are at risk of failing to deliver on their promise of securing the permanence of carbon credits. And in our recent webinar, 4 brilliant industry authorities discussed the most credible alternative in the voluntary carbon market - in-kind insurance.

“The climate is not static. The world is not static.” Buffer pools were set up to mitigate permanence risk for carbon removal projects, but they risk failing to deliver on that promise long-term. As Nandini Wilcke shared in our recent webinar, a maturing carbon market needs to transition to risk mitigation mechanisms that can actually ensure that sequestered carbon remains sequestered for good.
