I’ve spent years at the intersection of climate and finance. So when I heard about European Carbon Allowances, I couldn’t believe them to be inaccessible to seasoned investors like me. But Homaio was the only platform to give access to this fascinating asset class. Strongly recommend !
I’ve been in banking and fintech for close to a decade. Yet I never saw an opportunity to invest in climate as convincing as Homaio’s . I am now a proud holder of European carbon allowances.
I’ve spent most of my adult life fighting climate change. As an entrepreneur, political activist, and elected official. With Homaio, I can continue that fight with my financial investments. The EU carbon market should be open to all implicated individuals.
When I saw the financial profile of European Allowances, I was stunned. As a serial entrepreneur passionate about finance, how could I not have heard of this asset class? It was an obvious diversification opportunity to combine returns & impact.
As an ex VC turned entrepreneur and deeply concerned by global warming, I like to challenge any claim of climate impact. I’ve been looking for a way to invest in climate for a while, and especially in the EU ETS. When I discovered Homaio, it was a no brainer.
I had been looking to invest for some time in a product that I understood and that could address the significant challenges of today and tomorrow. And there is nothing more impactful and important than the climate. When I learned about carbon allowances, interest quickly turned into action. Investing in EUAs with Homaio was my first investment.
Homaio wants to massively steer capital towards assets that effectively reduce emissions. It does so by unlocking compliance carbon markets for individual investors. Starting with European Union Allowances and gradually expanding to other emissions trading schemes around the world, it opens an entire new asset class designed for impact and returns to climate-conscious investors globally.
Carbon pricing is generally considered to be the fairest and most effective way of curbing greenhouse gas emissions. It seeks to put a price on carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are a cost to society in the form of global warming, and carbon pricing aims at shifting that cost back to emitters. Emitters therefore face a trade-off between reducing their emissions or paying for their costs. As carbon prices increase, so do incentives to reduce emissions. This fuels systemic changes in production, consumption, and investment patterns at scale.
These terms refer to entirely different markets. Carbon credits and carbon offsets refer to the removal or avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions in the voluntary carbon market. For example, by planting a tree (removal) or by switching from a woodfire cookstove to a cleaner cookstove (avoidance). Carbon credits are sold by the project developer to an individual or a corporation that wishes to offset their emissions. It’s an unregulated market which has witnessed its fair share of controversies. Carbon allowances are standardized trading units in regulated carbon markets. They represent the right to emit one ton of greenhouse gas by an industrial polluter within the issuing market. They have a capped supply, equivalent to the market’s carbon budget. That supply is gradually reduced, which progressively increases the value of each allowance and reduces emissions.
Homaio unlocks the carbon allowance market for individual investors. We're currently invite-only, accepting European investors looking to invest in assets designed for both impact and returns on an ongoing basis. If this sounds like you, you can register on the site or email carbon@homaio.com and we'll be in touch very soon.
