Securing the Future of Carbon Markets: Nellie’s Green Paper on Carbon Credit Insurance

At Nellie Technologies, we are committed to driving transparency, integrity, and innovation within the carbon removal sector. Our latest Green Paper, Carbon Credit Insurance – A Mechanism to Boost Market Integrity and Investor Confidence, explores the transformative potential of insurance mechanisms in enhancing the credibility of carbon credit markets. By addressing key challenges such as uncertainty in carbon storage permanence, market volatility, and buyer confidence, this paper proposes practical solutions to bolster trust and drive widespread adoption of carbon removal initiatives.

Carbon credit insurance is emerging as a critical tool to protect the financial and environmental value of carbon credits, ensuring that emissions reductions or removals meet their promised impact over time. This Green Paper examines how insurance policies can provide much-needed assurance to investors, businesses, and regulators, mitigating risks associated with project underperformance or reversals. By integrating robust monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) frameworks with innovative insurance products, the paper highlights pathways to de-risk carbon removal investments and unlock funding for large-scale, impactful projects.

This Green Paper reflects Nellie’s commitment to thought leadership in the science and policy that underpin carbon dioxide removal. By promoting collaborative dialogue and actionable insights, we aim to empower stakeholders across the climate finance ecosystem to make informed decisions that drive meaningful environmental and economic benefits.
