A suite of carbon insurance products to reduce risk and scale opportunity
Risk varies across the carbon credit lifecycle, with factors including type of carbon project and location adding further nuance. Kita’s insurance products are tailored to offer buyers, sellers and intermediaries protection for the risks specific to their transactions.
Insurance is an integral element of every high-value market. The core function of insurance is to assess, price and mitigate risk, enabling businesses to take (calculated) risk by swapping the uncertainty of future losses with the certainty of an insurance premium.
Applying insurance-led analysis to carbon transactions leads to an increase in standards of delivery, transparency and management, supporting price differentials that drive a flight to quality and leading to greater investment in high-quality carbon solutions.
“Risk transfer solutions…are financial shock absorbers, reducing a company’s potential financial loss if a risk manifests and smoothing its experience in volatile conditions.”
- CREO, “An Introduction to Risk Transfer Solutions for Climate Projects”
Carbon or cash? Choose how your claims get paid
Uphold your commitments with the option to receive like-for-like replacement carbon credits in the event of an insurance policy claim.
We give you the flexibility to receive compensation in cash or in carbon so that you can customise your insurance plan to suit your needs.
We are very proud to be amongst the first insurance companies offering the option for insurance claims to be resolved with either replacement credits or more traditional financial compensation.
Replacement carbon credits for eligible claims will be distributed from Kita’s proprietary Carbon Supplier Pool.

"To prevent the worst impacts of climate change, we must remove gigatons of CO2 from the atmosphere annually for the remainder of the 21st century.
This is a scale-up task at unprecedented speed, and it requires de-risking and access to capital for carbon removal solutions.
Insurance can act as a fundamental enabler."
