抄録

Swiss Re vision is ‘we make the world more resilient’. Swiss Re insure, invest, operate, and share their knowledge in a way that tackles sustainability challenges and creates long-term value. Net-zero activity of Swiss Re have started in 2003, recently announced oil and gas policy for re/insurance underwriting. Reinsurance companies provide 6 functions with primary insurance companies, e.g., increase large-line capacity, provide underwriting guidance, via treaty reinsurance or facultative reinsurance. Insurance products require 6 fundamentals, e.g., risk taker, insurable interest, alignment of interests. Insurance can be an efficient planning and budget management mechanism. For the implementation of new practices and technologies, insurance can de-risk most of the value chain, which reduces the level of risk retained by the developer. This also reduces the risk for investors and other stakeholders. Each re/insurer has different risk appetite. Each phase of CCS projects requires different types of insurance. Some types of insurance are matured and easy to procure, while others are difficult or uninsurable.
