Insurance Increases Carbon Credit Value
In a competitive market, carbon credit insurance helps sellers meet growing corporate demand for quality assurances and buyers to offset with confidence.
Build Trust in Carbon Offsetting
Carbon credits are a critical component of corporate decarbonization strategies, but recent controversies have deterred risk-averse buyers. Oka removes their barriers to entry.
Our first-of-its-kind carbon insurance solution provides buyers with financial compensation in the event of unforeseeable and unavoidable post-issuance risks, including invalidation and reversal, ensuring one credit purchased will always represent one metric tonne of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
Protected by Oka, carbon credit buyers can de-risk their climate investments, meet their net-zero targets, and settle claims quickly.

Unlock Capital

Natural Catastrophes
Floods, fires, storms, drought, or other catastrophic weather events may destroy all or part of a project and its carbon storing assets.
Human-Induced Activity
Negligent management practices, faulty carbon storage, project failure, land use changes, or unintended harvesting/logging may release previously removed or avoided emissions into the atmosphere.
Adverse Impacts
High-quality carbon credits come from projects that avoid social and environmental harms and comply with the project jurisdiction’s legal requirements. Should adverse impacts occur, the associated carbon credits could be invalidated.
Project
Fraud
The carbon credit market is unregulated, putting your portfolio at risk of fraudulent activity in the form of intentional misrepresentations of the emission reductions achieved by a project.
Carbon Credits, Insured
De-risking your climate commitments ensures the pathway to achieve net zero.
Carbon Protect
Secure Carbon Credit Transactions
Carbon credits finance climate projects and emerging technologies essential to combating climate change. To reach net zero, we must scale the VCM. Oka’s carbon credit insurance makes it possible.
