The insurance industry is witnessing a notable surge in patents related to clean energy and carbon capture, indicating a strategic shift towards supporting sustainable energy initiatives. GlobalData's Patent Analytics database revealed a substantial increase in patents for clean energy insurance and carbon capture from 2014 to 2023. Guillaume Anns from GlobalData emphasized that this trend signifies a focused approach towards sustainable energy as countries strive to achieve their net-zero goals. Noteworthy in this shift is the recent collaboration between Zurich Insurance Group and Aon to establish a clean energy insurance facility specifically tailored for hydrogen projects. This initiative aims to expedite the progress of clean hydrogen projects by offering essential risk management and financial protection. Anns highlighted the significance of such partnerships, stressing the crucial role of risk management and financial security in advancing clean energy ventures. The insurance facility provides comprehensive coverage for both blue and green hydrogen projects, along with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, addressing the intricate risks associated with these initiatives. By providing this support, the facility instills confidence in developers and investors, encouraging them to actively engage in clean energy projects. This collaborative effort between key industry players underlines the growing importance of sustainable energy and the pivotal role of risk management in driving innovation and progress in the field.
