Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the local insurance in Malaysia for the period 2014-2015. The major challenge in the insurance industry is increasing competition in this market. Besides that, problematic in performance measurement to evaluate performance is another challenge in insurance industry. 24 local insurance companies involved in this study using quantitative method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) output-orientation CCR model. This study utilizes three inputs and three outputs; operating expenses, equity capital and commission as well as net premium, net investment income, and net incurred claim. The secondary data sources were derived from official data of local insurance companies’ annual report respectively. The DEA-Solver-LV version 8 tools were used to analyze the data that have been collected to evaluate the performance of local insurance company. This DEA model allows integration of the performance for the insurance companies and provides management overall performance evaluation. The results showed that there are 8 efficient companies in 2014 and 9 efficient companies in 2015. The average efficiency score in 2014 was increased from 78.9% to 79.1% in 2015. The findings from this study will benefit the insurance associations in Malaysia, management of insurances companies and policy makers.

Abstract:

This article explores captive insurance companies and focuses on whether a true "insurance" relationship exists between captive insurer and its insured. After providing a general background to captives, the article briefly visits the legal definition of "insurance" and then considers the captive insurer/insured relationship to determine whether an "insurance" relationship exists. Finally, the article considers situations where the existence or absence of a true "insurance" relationship may be of significance.

Abstract:

<p>Micro-insurance refers to the relatively short term insurances meant for health, accident, crop and livestock policies. The beneficiaries are the rural people who are mostly involved in agriculture which is subject to different external shocks. Along with agro insurance, the regulator is also encouraging insurance companies to insure micro enterprises such as water mills, tea shops, rickshaws and vending carts. The poor households currently need to incur huge amounts of health expenses which are over and above their current income(s) and savings and therefore, need to resort to multiple sources of financing, of which a major source is borrowing. At present, there are 25 registered insurance companies in Nepal. Of these, 8 are private commercial life insurers, 16 are private commercial non-life insurers and 1 is composite insurer. There is no scientific calculation of the crop’s yield and of livestock, which will create ambiguity in the valuation of the property being insured. </p><p><strong>Economic Literature,</strong> Vol. XI (40-46), June 2013 </p>

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the need to reduce inefficiencies in management of insurance company risk capital. The laxity in managing the cost of capital is a result of dysfunctional property/casualty risk classification and capital accumulation practices in the insurance industry. We reclassify risk based on both peril and financial functional features, in order to capture all the facets of risk affecting a firm and ultimately to achieve optimal capital allocation. With the purpose of reducing inefficiencies in mind, we explore and isolate the impact of regulation on insurance company profitability. We use barrier option pricing models to mimic the impact of solvency requirements on firm-wide risk. This methodology of measuring risk is better than plain vanilla option pricing models, in that, through the option to an early default, we are able to capture the economic significance of financial distress, and allocate firm-wide risk capital. The firm-wide risk is incidentally used to empirically test the impact of risk on the cost of carry, the quality of operational profitability and forward asset commitment per unit of liabilities. Our empirical test confirms a strong relationship between firm-level risk, and the cost of carry, return on policyholders' surplus and the cost of capital per contract underwritten. The results are better than previous results obtained using plain vanilla option-pricing models and reveal the importance of incorporating solvency requirements in defining the economic significance of insolvency. The results also points to the importance of advised risk classification procedures to the whole process of integrated risk measurement and financing, which we explore in this study.

Abstract:

This thesis reviews some fundamental risk measurement and management concepts that insurance companies will face in the following years. The first chapter evaluates the theoretical and practical framework of the different approaches with respect to the determination of regulatory capital held by insurance companies. A critical assessment and substantial interpretation of these approaches is performed. Moreover, a number of new approaches is brought forward in order to add a more thorough and clear way of evaluating the level of the regulatory capital. Then, we provide evidence of the presence of the underwriting cycle in the UK. The underwriting cycle has been identified in a number of OECD and non-OECD countries and highlights the different stages and maturity of the insurance market. A number of reasons for the presence of this cycle is presented and evaluated in contrast with the reasons behind the underwriting cycle in other countries. The level of profitability of the insurance companies is used to determine the presence of the cycle. In the third chapter, profitability and cost of capital are connected with the credit rating assigned by credit agencies to insurance companies. The credit risk that insurance companies face is explained by the use of financial ratios that explicitly explain the particular credit rating. The credit rating is implicitly connected with the cost of capital, which in turn is explained by the level of the credit spread between the Treasury Yield and European bonds. Finally, securitisation as an alternative method of minimizing credit and market risk is analyzed. Different structures of securitised deals are presented and evaluated. The benefits of securitisation are presented in a systematic way.

Abstract:

Since the new risk sensitive regulation Solvency II was enabled the 1st of January 2016 the European insurance companies have to review their investment strategies. Insurance companies are among the largest institutional investors in Europe holding EUR 6.7 trillion assets, thus major changes in their asset management can impact the capital markets. To investigate how the investing opportunities have changed for life insurance companies, a representative Swedish life insurance company with an occupational pension portfolio was simulated for thirty years. This was made by first simulating the money market, bonds, equities and real estate for the simulated time by a stochastic multivariate process. Using Modern Portfolio Theory the portfolio weights was constructed for the financial asset portfolios for the model of the company. To determine future liabilities a representative ITP 2 pension portfolio was modelled where the pension policies was priced using traditional life insurance pricing theory in continuous time. For the company to be representative actuarial assumptions and as well as a consolidation policy was constructed in line with the major traditional life insurance companies in Sweden. The simulations of the company resulted in monthly cash flows, development of life insurance mathematical functions and the solvency capital requirements. The solvency capital requirement by Solvency II was calculated by applying the standard formula handed by EIOPA, where for life insurance companies the market risk module dominates in contribution to the capital requirement. By comparing the new risk sensitive capital requirement with the solvency capital requirement by the old regulations a change of structure dependent on time and asset allocation was observed. The Solvency II capital requirement for life insurance companies is clearly more dependent on the financial asset strategy for the company whereas the old capital requirement is not. The structure of the new capital requirement follows the same structure as the solvency market risk module where it is clear that low risk portfolios does not necessarily correspond to a lower capital requirement. The conclusion of this thesis is that life insurance companies in Sweden have tightened financial investing opportunities. This is due to Solvency II since this regulation is more risk sensitive than the old regulation.
Sedan det nya riskkänsliga regelverket Solvens II trädde i kraft den första januari 2016 behöver europeiska försäkringsbolag se över sin investeringsstrategi för finansiella tillgångar. Försäkringsbolag är bland de största finansiella investeringsinstituten i Europa med ett innehav om 6,7 biljoner euro och i och med detta kan stora förändringar i försäkringsbolagens tillgångsallokering påverka kapitalmarknaden. För att undersöka hur investeringsmöjligheterna har förändrats för livförsäkringsbolag simulerades ett svenskt fiktivt och representativt livförsäkringsbolag med en tjänstepensionsportfölj trettio år framåt i tiden. Först simulerades penningmarknaden, obligationer, aktier och fastighetsmarknaden trettio år med en multivariat stokastisk process. Genom att tillämpa modern portföljteori konstruerades portföljvikter för de simulerade finansiella tillgångarna för bolaget. För att modellera framtida skulder för bolaget konsturerades en representativ ITP 2 tjänstepensionsportfölj där pensionskontrakten prissattes med hjälp av traditionell prissättningsteori för livförsäkringar i kontinuerlig tid. Aktuariella antaganden och en konsolideringspolicy konsturerades i linje med de största traditionella livförsäkringsbolagen i Sverige för att konsturea en representativ portfölj. Simuleringarna av bolaget resulterade I kassaöden och utvecklingen av livförsäkringsmatematiska funktioner månadsvis samt solvenskapitalkravet årsvis. Solvenskapitalkravet beräknades med standardformeln erhållen av EIOPA där modulen för marknadsrisk dominerar i bidraget till kapitalkravet. Genom att jämföra det nya riskkänsliga kapitalkravet med solvenskapitalkravet baserat på tidigare regelverk observerades en skillnad i struktur beroende på tid och tillgångsallokering. Storleken på Solvens II-kapitalkravet för livförsäkringsbolag är mer beroende på den finansiella tillgångsstrategin för bolagen medan detta inte är fallet för Solvens I-kapitalkravet. Strukturen på det nya kapitalkravet följer samma struktur som modulen för marknadsrisk där det observerades at lågriskportföljer nödvändigtvis inte motsvarar ett lägre kapitalkrav för livförsäkringsbolaget. Slutsatsen av projektet var att utrymmet för investeringsmöjligheter för svenska livförsäkringsbolag har förminskats. Detta är på grund av införandet av Solvens II då regelverket är mer riskkänsligt än tidigare regelverk.

Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Much research has been done on risk coverage within the field of the traditional insurance market, but the concept of alternative risk transfer is fairly new to the world of risk management. The need for more innovative, multi-faceted approaches to meet possible losses, together with the growing resistance to the cross-subsidisation inherent in traditional insurance, has initiated the development of the captive insurance industry as an alternative risk transfer mechanism. The objective of this research was to study the application of captive insurance as a risk management mechanism for managers. The objective comprised a modelling approach for managers to handle the strategic implications of establishing and operating a captive insurer. The tasks that were required for this assignment were as follows: • The completion of a literature study of the basic theory available on captive insurance as an internal risk financing mechanism for management; • The collection of relevant empirical information on the subject by means of questionnaires, which had to be based on the literature study; • The critical analysis of the collected data; and • The development of a decision-making model based on the outcome of the available information, that could provide a practical guideline for management to decide on the establishment and operation of a captive insurer. Twenty-five questionnaires were sent out during February 2003 to cover all the registered onshore and cell captive insurance companies in South Africa. Offshore insurance companies could not be included in this study due to article 33 of the Reserve Bank's Act no. 90 of 1989 regarding confidential information. Of the 25 captive insurance companies, 21 companies completed the questionnaires, and three respondents declared that they did not perform captive insurance activities anymore. A response rate of over 95 per cent is therefore achieved. The information obtained from the questionnaires was summarised on a SPSS spreadsheet and subjected to a statistical analysis to form the bases for the empirical investigation. The results of the empirical study for onshore and cell captive insurers leads to conclusions regarding the importance of the objectives needed for establishing and operating the captive Insurer. The three most importantfactors which should determine the decision of a holding company to establish an onshore captive insurer were identified as the financial commitment of the holding company, the spreading of the risks of the holding company, and the retention capacity of the holding company. The three most importantfactors which should determine the decision of a holding company to operate an onshore captive insurer are the retention capacity of the holding company, the financial commitment of the holding company, and the management commitment of the holding company. The three most importantfactors which should determine the decision of a holding company to establish a cell captive insurer were identified as the spreading of the risks of the holding company, the retention capacity of the holding company, and the financial commitment of the holding company. The three most importantfactors which should determine the decision of a holding company to operate a cell captive insurer are the financial commitment of the holding company, the spreading of the risks of the holding company, and the management commitment of the holding company. A decision-making model for both onshore and cell captive insurers was developed as a tool for risk managers when deciding on the establishment and operation of a captive insurer as part of their risk management programme. The resulting conclusions and recommendations of this assignment are largely based on the personal viewpoints of the captive insurers active in the South African captive insurance industry. It is therefore recommended that future research also includes the role and views of the holding companies.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Heelwat navorsing is alreeds oor die tradisionele versekeringsmark ten opsigte van risikodekking gedoen, maar die konsep van alternatiewe risiko-oordrag is nog redelik nuut in die vakgebied van die risikobestuur. Die behoefte aan meer innoverende multivlak benaderinge om moontlike verliese te beperk, tesame met die toenemende weerstand teen kruissubsidiëring inherent aan tradisionele versekering, het tot die ontwikkeling van die gebonde (gevange) versekeringsbedryf as 'n wyse van alternatiewe risiko-oordrag gelei. Die doelstelling van hierdie navorsing was om die toepaslikheid van gebonde versekeraars as 'n risikobestuursmeganisme vir bestuurders te bestudeer. Die doelstelling omsluit 'n modelboubenadering vir bestuurders om die strategiese implikasies van die stigting en bedryf van 'n gebonde versekeraar te beheer. Die voortvloeiende take van die werkstuk is soos volg: • Die voltooiing van 'n literatuurstudie van die basiese teorie wat oor gebonde versekering, as 'n wyse van interne risikofinansiering vir bestuur beskikbaar is; • Die versameling van relevante empiriese inligting oor die onderwerp deur middel van vraelyste wat op die literatuurstudie gebaseer is; • 'n Kritiese ontleding van die versamelde inligting; en • Die ontwikkeling van 'n besluitnemingsmodelop grond van die resultate van die beskikbare inligting wat as 'n praktiese gids vir bestuur kan dien met betrekking tot besluitingneming oor die stigting en bedryfvan 'n gebonde versekeraar. Vyf en twintig vraelyste is gedurende Februarie 2003 gepos om al die geregistreerde binnelandse gebonde versekeringsmaatskappye, asook gebonde versekeringsmaatskappye wat uit verskillende selle bestaan ("cell captive insurance companies"), in Suid-Afrika te bereik. Buitelandse gebonde versekeringsmaatskappye kon nie deel van hierdie studie vorm nie vanweë artikel 33 van die Reserwebank se Wet nr. 90 van 1989 insake vertroulike inligting. Van die 25 gebonde versekeringsmaatskappye het 21 maatskappye die vraelyste voltooi en drie respondente het aangedui dat hulle nie meer by die aktiwiteite van gebonde versekering betrokke was nie. 'n Reaksiekoers van meer as 95 persent is gevolglik behaal. Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Die inligting vanuit die vraelyste is opgesom deur middel van 'n SPSS-sigblad en 'n aantal statistiese ontledings is gedoen, wat die basis van die empiriese studie gevorm het. Die resultate van die empiriese studie ten opsigte van binnelandse gebonde versekeraars, asook gebonde versekeraars wat uit verskillende selle bestaan, het tot gevolgtrekkings gelei met betrekking tot die belangrikheid van die verlangde doelstellings vir die stigting en bedryf van gebonde versekeraars. Die drie belangrikste faktore wat die besluitneming van 'n houermaatskappy behoort te beïnvloed om 'n binnelandse gebonde versekeraar te stig, is geïdentifiseer as die finansiële verbintenis van die houermaatskappy, die spreiding van die risiko's van die houermaatskappy en die retensiekapasiteit van die houermaatskappy. Die drie belangrikste faktore wat die besluitneming van 'n houermaatskappy behoort te beïnvloed om 'n binnelandse gebonde versekeraar te bedryf, is geïdentifiseer as die retensiekapasiteit van die houermaatskappy, die finansiële verbintenis van die houermaatskappy en die bestuursverbintenis van die houermaatskappy. Die drie belangrikste faktore wat die besluitneming van 'n houermaatskappy behoort te beïnvloed om 'n gebonde versekeraar wat uit verskillende selle bestaan, te stig, is geïdentifiseer as die spreiding van die risiko's van die houermaatskappy, die retensiekapasiteit van die houermaatskappy en die finansiële verbintenis van die houermaatskappy. Die drie belangrikste faktore wat die besluitneming van 'n houermaatskappy behoort te beïnvloed om 'n gebonde versekeraar wat uit verskillende selle bestaan, te bedryf, is geïdentifiseer as die finansiële verbintenis van die houermaatskappy, die spreiding van die risiko's van die houermaatskappy en die bestuursverbintenis van die houermaatskappy . 'n Besluitnemingsmodel is as hulpmiddel vir risikobestuurders ontwikkel, vrr beide binnelandse gebonde versekeraars asook gebonde versekeraars wat uit veskillende selle bestaan, om met besluitneming ten opsigte van die stigting en bedryf van 'n gebonde versekeraar as deel van hul risikobestuursprogram te help. Die voortvloeiende gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings van die werkstuk was grootliks gebaseer op die persoonlike menings van die gebonde versekeraars wat aktief in die Suid-Afrikaanse gebonde versekeringsbedryf is. Dit word gevolglik aanbeveel dat toekomstige navorsing ook die rol en menings van die houermaatskappye insluit.

Abstract:

Purpose – the main idea of the article was to characterize the process of digitalization in insurance companies through the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT). This research examined the relationship between the expenses for information technologies of selected insurance companies and the results of their activity. Research methodology – the research had empirical character and was based on the analysis of two groups of indicators: digitalization and insurance. The first group characterizes the level of insurance companies’ investments in ICT, and the second – the results of insurance activity. Data were collected from notes to financial statements of top 4 European insur-ance groups. The results have been received based on correlation analysis. Findings – the results of the research showed that there is a different tendency in the raising of ICT investments and the values of gross premiums, claims, and expenses. This result deals with the important question in insurance if the higher invests in technologies could be a factor of insurers’ effectiveness. Research limitations – most important limitation relates to the lack of complete data about information and communica-tion technologies in insurers. It is closely connected with some ambiguity in defining modern information technologies. Practical implications – the results of the research could be used in the decision-making process in practice or future re-search. Originality/Value – in the research the possibility to combine analysis and comparison of selected parameters of digitali-zation based on financial statements of insurance companies was described.

Abstract:

On 17 May 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) promulgated a new insurance accounting standard, International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17 Insurance Contracts. This standard significantly changed the way insurance accounting is structured at the insurance company level (IASB, 2017). Capital markets will benefit from more transparent and comparable data due to the implementation of IFRS 17. Making international comparisons between insurers will be simplified by IFRS 17, moving on from the fact that the standard is technical and is intended to comply with accounting principles. The purpose of this research is to analyse the requirements for implementing IFRS 17 and the impact that the application of this standard has on insurance contracts issued by specialist companies. In order to achieve this aim, the following objectives have been set: to review the literature in order to present the characteristics of IFRS 17 and to identify implementation and information transparency impediments for insurance companies. The results of this research can help specialised insurance companies to understand the changes of the new standard on financial statements. It may also help to understand the effects of the new standard on key performance indicators.

Can insurance company investments help fill the infrastructure gap? Center for Insurance Policy and Research, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52227/24791.2021.

Full text

Abstract:

The report emphasizes that evaluating the suitability of infrastructure investments for insurance companies cannot compromise the core mission of insurance regulators to preserve the solvency of regulated insurance companies and to protect policyholders. Significant Findings in the Report Include: The report offers a uniform definition of infrastructure that could be used as a basis for discussions around financial investments in infrastructure within the insurance industry: generally, economic infrastructure is long-lived, capital-intensive, large physical assets that provide essential services or facilities to some jurisdiction. Using NAIC data, as well as other supplemental sources, findings estimate total U.S. insurance industry exposure to economic infrastructure to be roughly $570.5 billion by NAIC's definition. Infrastructure investments have many qualities that should be appealing to insurers, potentially well-positioning them to make additional infrastructure investments under the right circumstances. For example, historical performance data from S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Services show that: municipal bonds backing infrastructure outperform infrastructure bonds issued outside of the public sector. corporate infrastructure debt outperforms all non-financial corporate debt (which includes infrastructure). Superior performance is evident across the performance metrics we assessed, including default rates, recovery rates given default, and rating migration.

Abstract:

In 2010, the NAIC membership adopted the Insurer Climate Risk Disclosure Survey as a way for state insurance regulators, insurance companies, investors, and consumers to identify trends, vulnerabilities, and best practices by collecting information about how companies assess and manage climate risk. The survey’s eight questions cover topics including climate risk governance, climate risk management, modeling and analytics, stakeholder engagement and greenhouse gas management. About 1,200 companies participated in 2018. In this analysis, we used statistical methods to examine two main questions: 1) How do insurers across key characteristics assess and manage risks related to climate change? and 2) How have these responses changed over the past 10 years?

Full text

Abstract:

Several African countries have introduced taxes on digital financial services (DFS) during the past decade. Given the size and rapid growth of the telecom and DFS sector, DFS taxation is considered an opportunity to broaden the government’s revenue base. These recent developments need to be considered alongside the framework for taxation of traditional financial services (TFS) delivered by banks and other formal financial institutions – such as credit unions, insurance companies and microfinance institutions. The working paper analyses key legislative, tax and regulatory policy instruments, comparing the tax framework in nine countries in Africa: Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Full text

Abstract:

Connected, automated, shared, and electric (CASE) technologies have invoked Mobility 4.0—a connected, digitized, multimodal, and autonomous system of systems. This project established a flexible and adaptable blueprint that would streamline multidisciplinary and multistakeholder efforts as well as leverage available resources to prepare the Illinois Department of Transportation and other transportation agencies. Illinois has several strengths that make it an attractive location for CASE technology companies, including a talent pool from top-ranked universities, well-developed transportation infrastructure, government support, and a robust ecosystem of collaboration and innovation. Illinois also faces potential challenges (e.g., competition from other states and countries, limited access to funding, regulatory hurdles, and infrastructure readiness for new mobility technologies). Seven smart mobility pillars were identified in this study for Illinois—namely, connected and automated (CA) freight, scaling intelligent transportation systems, farm automation, insurance, urban mobility, CA logistics, and alternative fuels. The balanced scorecard ranked the pillars as follows (from highest): alternative fuels, scaling intelligent transportation systems, CA freight, farm automation, CA logistics, insurance, and urban mobility. Tactical focus areas were also identified per pillar and were prioritized with suggested leads and stakeholders to champion the CASE directives and opportunities. Near-term actions for Illinois were also suggested that included establishing a central structure for Illinois’ CASE program, enriching the knowledge base and experience, preparing transportation infrastructure, partnerships with external stakeholders, and expansion of laws, regulations, and policies that will help administer and grow CASE technology deployment and integration.

Beiker, Sven. Unsettled Issues Regarding Communication of Automated Vehicles with Other Road Users. SAE International, November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2020023.

Full text

Abstract:

The focus of this SAE EDGE™ Research Report is to address a topic overlooked by many who choose to view automated driving systems and AVs from a “10,000-foot” perspective: how automated vehicles (AVs) will actually communicate with other road users. Conventional (human-driven) vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians already have a functioning system of understating each other while on the move. Adding automated vehicles to the mix requires assessing the spectrum of existing modes of communication – both implicit and explicit, biological and technological, and how they will interact with each other in the real world. The impending deployment of AVs represents a major shift in the traditional approach to ground transportation; its effects will inevitably be felt by parties directly involved with the vehicle manufacturing and use and those that play roles in the mobility ecosystem (e.g., aftermarket and maintenance industries, infrastructure and planning organizations, automotive insurance providers, marketers, telecommunication companies). Unsettled Issues Regarding Communication of Automated Vehicles with Other Road Users brings together the multiple scenarios we are likely to see in a future not too far away and how they are likely to play out in practical ways.

Full text

Abstract:

This report is one of a series of reports documenting the methods and findings of a multi-year, multi-disciplinary project coordinated by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER and funded by the California Earthquake Authority (CEA). The overall project is titled “Quantifying the Performance of Retrofit of Cripple Walls and Sill Anchorage in Single-Family Wood-Frame Buildings,” henceforth referred to as the “PEER–CEA Project.” The overall objective of the PEER–CEA Project is to provide scientifically based information (e.g., testing, analysis, and resulting loss models) that measure and assess the effectiveness of seismic retrofit to reduce the risk of damage and associated losses (repair costs) of wood-frame houses with cripple wall and sill anchorage deficiencies as well as retrofitted conditions that address those deficiencies. Tasks that support and inform the loss-modeling effort are: (1) collecting and summarizing existing information and results of previous research on the performance of wood-frame houses; (2) identifying construction features to characterize alternative variants of wood-frame houses; (3) characterizing earthquake hazard and ground motions at representative sites in California; (4) developing cyclic loading protocols and conducting laboratory tests of cripple wall panels, wood-frame wall subassemblies, and sill anchorages to measure and document their response (strength and stiffness) under cyclic loading; and (5) the computer modeling, simulations, and the development of loss models as informed by a workshop with claims adjustors. This report is a product of Working Group (WG) 6: Catastrophe Modeler Comparisons and focuses on comparing damage functions developed by the PEER–CEA Project with those currently contained in modeling software developed by the three largest insurance catastrophe modelers: RMS, CoreLogic and AIR Worldwide. A semi-blind study was conducted in collaboration with the modeling companies to compare damage estimates for a selection of the Index Buildings developed in the PEER–CEA Project Study. The WG6 Project Team conducted several meetings with these modeling companies to gather feedback on the structure of and assumptions made by the PEER–CEA Project. The comparative results are evaluated and presented herein.

Abstract:

The Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) market is experiencing rapid development, with different regions adopting distinct approaches. In Europe, the progress is primarily driven top-down through the implementation of regulations aimed at integrating CDR into various climate instrument pillars within the EU. In contrast, the United States is witnessing a bottom-up growth trajectory, characterized by the emergence of start-ups, carbon registries, marketplaces, and insurance companies, all playing a role in the expansion of the CDR sector. This surge in CDR-related businesses has been further catalyzed by substantial subsidies, particularly through the recent adjustments made to the 45Q tax credit system. The amendments were introduced as part of the "Inflation Reduction Act" (IRA) and the "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law" (BIL). Under these modifications, significant tax credits are offered for carbon capture and utilization at point sources, with subsequent storage (CCS). Notably, the tax credits have increased to 60 USD/tCO2 for carbon capture and utilization and storage at point sources, and to 85 USD/tCO2 for direct air capture and storage. The tax credits go even higher, amounting to 130 and 180 USD/tCO2, respectively, for utilization and storage if the carbon is directly removed from the air. In addition to these measures, the IRA and BIL also allocate substantial funding for forestry and sequestration projects, carbon transport infrastructure, and carbon removal hubs to test and develop technologies. Simultaneously, some top-down initiatives have been set in motion in the US, exemplified by the introduction of the Carbon Dioxide Removal Market Development Act as part of California's Cap-and-Trade Program. This act mandates emitting entities to offset a certain percentage of their emissions through CDR in subsequent years, culminating in full compensation of emissions with CDR by 2045. Moreover, the act emphasizes the promotion of domestic development by requiring that at least 50% of the negative emissions credits used by an emitting entity originate from CDR processes that directly mitigate climate impacts within the state. Against this backdrop, it comes as no surprise that the CDR start-up scene is predominantly dominated by US companies, with ocean-based removal companies accounting for approximately 10 percent of the market. However, despite their presence, ocean-based CDR projects are currently limited, with the majority focused on blue carbon projects, particularly mangrove restoration, and only a few exploring other ocean-based CDR methods. The land-based portion of the CDR market appears to be effectively addressing accounting, verification, and registry aspects, primarily due to market demand or existing regulations. Nevertheless, the development of such bottom-up approaches remains less likely for open access schemes like ocean-based CDR initiatives.
