## Resource

Lucas and Luna explore how carbon insurance is evolving from a niche risk-transfer product into a legitimate financial asset class. With a concrete case study of a carbon removal project in Texas that insured its 500,000-tonne delivery against wildfire and drought, the hosts unpack the mechanics: how underwriters evaluate permanence risk, why the market has tripled to $1.2 billion since 2024, and what this means for the integrity of carbon credits. They also discuss the new SEC climate disclosure rules that are pushing corporations to buy insured credits, and the debate over whether insurance can truly solve the additionality problem. If you think carbon credits are just greenwashing tools, this episode might change your mind. #CarbonInsurance #CarbonCredits #ClimateFinance #RiskTransfer #SECClimateRule #CarbonMarket #Greenwashing #PermanenceRisk #TexasCarbon #InsuranceAssetClass #ClimatePolicy #Sustainability #CarbonRemoval #Underwriting #SECDisclosure #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
