Carbon Pulse asks how Gold Standard’s insurance assessment process could unlock CORSIA credit supply, with input from Chris.
A CORSIA supply crunch is no longer a distant possibility. The more immediate question is whether market infrastructure can keep up.\In
In Carbon Pulse, Oka CEO Chris Slater comments on Gold Standard’s new process for assessing private insurance policies for CORSIA credits, and why that matters in a market already facing mounting pressure on both the buy- and sell-side. His argument is straightforward: if registries are moving towards insurance-backed access routes, then the market will need enough insurance capacity to support them.
The piece also captures the wider commercial backdrop. With forecasts pointing to a growing shortfall in CORSIA-eligible credits, and price expectations rising sharply through Phase 1 and into Phase 2, supply-side friction is becoming harder to ignore. Insurance can help ease part of that bottleneck, but only if capacity scales with demand.
“While being at the vanguard presents opportunity, we’re also mindful of the impending, and growing, bottleneck of CORSIA-eligible credits… There are plenty of reasons why supply is struggling to keep up with demand. Sufficient insurance coverage need not be one of them.”
