Kita’s vision is to be the world’s first carbon insurer, de-risking carbon removal solutions to accelerate their ability to scale.
The climate crisis requires carbon removal solutions to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Many carbon removal solutions rely on revenue from selling carbon units on the voluntary carbon markets. However, these units lack tailored insurance products for their key risks, particularly under-delivery on pre-paid contracts.
Kita removes this “carbon delivery risk” from sellers and buyers in the market, using insurance products that guarantee the quality and delivery of carbon units and carbon removal solutions.
