Innovation

Industry Problem

Artio solves the challenge of under-delivery and high investment risk in carbon projects by offering early-stage insurance and real-time risk monitoring through a data-driven model.

R&D Focus

Artio is conducting R&D in carbon project risk analytics with a niche focus on early-stage insurance for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions, such as ARR, Biochar, DAC, and ERW, supported by a proprietary, data-driven risk model.

Innovative Solution

Artio addresses carbon project under-delivery and investment risk through a proprietary data-driven risk model that analyzes project data to provide early-stage insurance, fast premium quotes, and real-time risk monitoring. By offering coverage from pre-feasibility to maturity and flexible settlement options (cash or in-kind credits), Artio ensures stability and confidence in carbon investments.

Solution Effectiveness

Artio’s solution is highly effective, offering premium quotes in as little as 5 days through its proprietary risk model that analyzes shapefiles, feasibility studies, financial models, and investment agreements. It provides insurance coverage from pre-feasibility to project maturity, something traditional insurers rarely offer, ensuring buyers gain cost efficiencies and stronger governance from day one. Its real-time risk monitoring helps mitigate issues before they escalate, and flexible settlements in cash or in-kind credits ensure alignment with buyer strategies, making Artio’s model uniquely responsive and tailored to the needs of carbon credit investors.
