Insurability Assessments
Pre-Assess Carbon Projects for Insurance
Artio provides free, confidential insurability assessments for project developers to help strengthen their position with buyers and financiers from as early as the feasibility stage. Our assessments indicate whether a project is insurable, and if not, provide clear, actionable feedback on how to reduce risk. For insurable projects, this insight can be used in marketing materials and investor conversations, so we’re ready to fast-track quotes when buyers are interested.

Why Artio?
We have built our proprietary risk model specifically to understand delivery risk.
Artio’s team has worked in the carbon markets for several years and defined quality when it was needed most. During that time we gained direct insight into why projects under-deliver and matched that with analysis of historical project performance to understand likelihood of default from day one.
Our carbon insurance is built from assessing every factor that historically causes under-delivery and we can provide insight across all these areas from our assessments.

FAQs
-
Yes, you may share the insurability assessment with prospective investors or banks, provided it is presented accurately and in the appropriate context. The assessment is designed to support funding conversations by offering a clear, preliminary view of how the project aligns with insurance requirements. This can help address investor or lender questions early, reducing the need to seek additional insurance information during due diligence and allowing insurance to facilitate rather than delay capital deployment.
However, the assessment must not be presented as a guarantee of coverage, an offer of insurance, or a binding quote. All references to Artio’s insurance products must be factual, balanced, and consistent with relevant regulatory guidance.

We are not an NGO, and we do not pretend to be. We built Artio to solve a hard, commercial problem: getting capital into carbon projects when it is needed most, on day one.
By helping de-risk projects early, we unlock funding that might not otherwise flow. When those projects secure capital and insurance, we earn premium. It is a rare win-win where more projects get financed, climate impact scales, and our business grows with it.
