For our upcoming webinar, we have assembled a panel of the top scientists, experts, and thinkers on the topic of carbon market integrity, including Nandini Wilcke, Elias Ayrey (PhD) at Renoster, Dr. Kirti Ramesh at BeZero Carbon, and Injy Johnstone at the University of Oxford, with moderation by Vaughan Lindsay. Hear from them on July 22 about how registry buffer pools have promised long-term permanence for their issued carbon credits--and how that promise is at risk of falling short.

Building a best-in-class model to assess our client's carbon risks requires innovating at the cutting edge. At CarbonPool, our Carbon Risk Model leverages #machinelearning tools to assess biomass from space, create innovative clustering algorithms to analyze fire risk, and more, all with the help of data partners like the European Space Agency - ESA. For anyone interested in how we are making the most of #AI for our monitoring and verification of carbon project sequestration, tune in to CarbonPool Principal Climate Modeller Kasia Tokarska de los Santos, PhD's lecture today, sponsored by Google DeepMind, GitHub, CIFAR, and Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute. #carbon #carbonmarket #CDR #sustainability #netzero

Great insights from CarbonPool co-founder and CFO Frederic Olbert on the many exciting developments in the carbon market coming out of Latin America. As Frederic said, this is a space to watch.

"If we can't measure it, we can't insure it." CarbonPool co-founder and CEO Coenraad Vrolijk called this our "golden rule" in a recent interview with the Financial Times' Sustainable Views publication, and for good reason. At CarbonPool, accurately assessing risk to carbon projects is the heart of our work. If we can accurately assess risk, we can give our clients the lowest possible premium with the greatest possible coverage. We can make sure our own portfolio of carbon removal replacement credits is the highest quality on the market. That is why our team of climate, weather, and forestry experts have worked for over a year to create and perfect our Carbon Risk Model, a proprietary statistical model using best-in-class geospatial data, remote sensing technologies, and machine learning to produce a probabilistic distribution of a project's carbon outcome--in other words, how likely, and by how much, a project will experience a shortfall in the yield of carbon credits (leading to under-deliveries) or a reversal of issued credits. Many thanks to Sustainable Views for featuring both Coenraad and Nandini Wilcke, our co-founder and COO, on how carbon insurance can solve the carbon market's credibility crisis.

🚨Webinar announcement🚨 What are registry buffer pools, and can they really secure carbon credits’ “permanence” as they claim? Buffer pools are the carbon market’s default mechanism to mitigate against carbon credit reversals, and many registries have promised that they secure a credit's permanence for as many as 100 years. But CarbonPool, alongside other reputable players in this space, have looked into this claim and found that buffer pools lack many of the fundamental principles required for them to effectively act as a permanence mechanism on that time scale. In fact, there is a real risk that these pools will fail to provide the permanence they promise in the long-term. This is a problem that needs urgent solving to ensure the planet has a chance of achieving net zero. To understand how buffer pools really work—and how they don’t—join us on July 22, 2024 at 4pm CEST for a panel discussion alongside Elias Ayrey (PhD) from Renoster, Dr. Kirti Ramesh from BeZero Carbon, and Injy Johnstone from the University of Oxford, with Vaughan Lindsay serving as the moderator.

It was “DAC week” at CarbonPool, with Mathilda Strom visiting the Airhive lab in London with Patch, and Brooke Davies, Beat Krauer, Kasia Tokarska de los Santos, PhD, and Dr. Maximilian Kremer visiting the very first Climeworks DAC plant in Hinwil, Switzerland with ClimatePartner. Our team loved learning more about the latest innovations in DAC technology, and how far the industry has come in such a short amount of time. Some observations from us: 1️⃣ As Mathilda said, commercial applications with strong business metrics drive success in carbon markets. This was apparent in Airhive's work and strategy in providing The Coca-Cola Company with a cheaper and more environmentally efficient source of the CO2 going into its carbonated drinks. 2️⃣ As Brooke observed, Climeworks's technology is remarkable in the strides it has made towards scaling an engineered solution that can viably promise a thousands-year permanence time scale. From a couple hundred tonnes of carbon removed each year at its first plant to the promise of megatonnes removed each year in its upcoming generations, it gave us hope for the deployment of durable CDR at climate relevant scales. 3️⃣ Both companies mentioned the number of natural and machinery risks that create a risk of credit shortfall, from temperature variability to equipment maintenance and more, opening up an opportunity for insurance to step in and play a role in guaranteeing delivery. Many thanks to the Airhive and Climeworks teams for the tours!

When I was a junior real estate lawyer at A&O Shearman or a political science major at Columbia University I never would have imagined that I would one day be a founder of CarbonPool, the world's first in-kind carbon credit insurer, and have the opportunity to introduce our business at Insurtech Insights in New York City. Thanks to my fellow panelists Charlie Sidoti and Gary Hoberman for an engaging discussion and to my first mentor, who gave me the sound advice to remain open to opportunity and never to plan too far in advance, because you never know where the road is going to lead you!

Was happy to have been a part of this collaboration with Lisa Mangertseder, Katrin S., and Benedikt Kratochwil. Zurich has strong roots in the carbon industry but is growing faster than ever into new sectors of the market--including fintech companies like CarbonPool! The new "Carbon Valley," as it's been termed, is a space to watch for the latest innovations in carbon removal and reduction.
