CarbonPool

At CarbonPool, we help society reach NetZero by providing in-kind insurance for failure to achieve net zero commitments due to shortfalls, reversals, business interruptions and natural catastrophes that either reduce the amount of carbon dioxide removals contracted for or unintentionally add carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.  CarbonPool's team of insurance leaders, climate scientists, weather modellers, geographers, and engineers assesses each risk to build bespoke risk models. The premiums collected from each client are invested, alongside CarbonPool's own capital, into high quality carbon removal projects, to be able to pay out in-kind.  Currently preparing a license application for a Swiss regulated (re)insurance license, CarbonPool can already pre-underwrite your exposures - just reach out to ask for a quote! info@carbonpool.earth
