A flagship mechanism
Carbon pricing is the backbone of Europe’s climate policy. It has a demonstrated impact at scale and is being implemented globally. Over 18% of global emissions are covered by a market price.
Industrial decarbonization at scale
Carbon pricing incentivizes emission reduction. Verified emissions from European industries have dropped at a record pace and scale thanks to an ambitious carbon price over the past decade.
Financing public climate policies
Revenues from emission allowances fund public climate initiatives and new abatement technologies. They are redistributed with strict oversight.
Accelerate decarbonization trajectories
Until now, private investors were walled off from this market. Now, you can withhold allowances from industrial emitters and accelerate systemic change.
Pricing carbon serves two purposes

Transforming carbon-intensive industries

IMMEDIATE
Withdraw permits from polluters
By holding EUAs, Homaio's clients confiscate allowances that won’t be available to emitters.
Unlocking the market to individuals increases demand on a fixed and capped supply. Therefore, each permit held by an individual investor is a permit that cannot be used by an industrial entity.
To guarantee this impact, Homaio physically holds EUAs in the European registry. We do not use derivatives or use synthetic trackers, which would wall off private investors from a direct, transparent impact.
Long Term
Accelerate systemic change
By holding EUAs, Homaio's clients help make emission allowances a scarce commodity, increasing their value.
In simple terms, new demand for carbon allowances contributes to putting upwards pressure on their cost, accelerating both the pace of decarbonization and the availability of funding for public climate policies.
Individuals currently bear the burden of emissions in the form of increasing damages from climate change. By participating in this market, they contribute to shifting the cost from society back to industrial polluters, and aligning their individual interest with true environmental impact.
AFTER SELLING
Have a net positive impact even after selling
After selling their EUAs, private investors continue to have a net positive effect.
This is because delaying emissions over time contributes to lower greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere.
Homaio finances research projects in partnership with foundations, universities, and laboratories to precisely quantify this impact.
Market-based carbon pricing is the fairest and most effective way of solving climate change, and the EU ETS is its most successful implementation.
