Carbon capture and storage refers to a suite of technologies in which carbon dioxide is captured at
industrial sources, compressed and transported to a suitable location, and then injected into a deep geologic formation for permanent storage. This process prevents the carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere where it may contribute to climate change.
Chartis’ product innovation team customized the endorsement language specifically to address carbon
capture and storage activities with coverage for environmental risks to natural resources, public and private property, and human health.
Russell M. Johnston, President and Chief Executive Officer of Environmental, said, “With client needs in mind, our underwriting and engineering staff are able to construct an insurance program that helps a client move forward with an innovative carbon capture and storage project, which in turn will have a positive effect on the environment.”
Chartis is committed to providing environmental and other risk management solutions to companies and organizations looking to advance carbon capture and storage through upcoming projects.
