Over-claiming isn't usually fraud. It's small optimistic choices that compound: the 20-year figure, the generous baseline, the undisclosed verifier, the "high-quality" label with nothing to check. #CarbonIntegrity #LMCX

Every carbon credit arrives wrapped in superlatives so uniform buyers now read them in reverse. Our newest blog argues the real quality signal isn't what an issuer claims. It's what they're willing to say they don't. #CarbonIntegrity #LMCX

ICYMI: additionality is a counterfactual, never provable like a measurement. But you can make the reasoning explicit, ground it in methodology, show the numbers, and verify it. That makes it interrogable, not unassailable.  #Additionality #LMCX

Our reference project's plugging program runs to roughly negative $1.66M NPV without carbon revenue. Absent carbon finance, plugging destroys value, which is why these wells are left leaking. The credit is what makes it economic. #Additionality #LMCX

Want to know if a carbon credit is serious? Ask one question: would the abatement have happened anyway? That's additionality, where credibility lives or dies. Our newest blog answers it in the open, uncomfortable parts included. #Additionality #LMCX

ICYMI: faith is not a diligence input. Ask where the tonne was measured, who verified it, how it was accounted, where it lives, and what happens if it fails. We built every answer to be checkable on purpose. The invitation is the product.  #Underwriting #LMCX

The measurement audits against OGMP. The verification checks against ISO. The accounting can be recomputed. Custody and retirement are on-chain. We didn't wrap reassuring adjectives around an unexamined core. Every answer is built to be pulled on.  #Underwriting #LMCX

Most carbon credits are built to be sold. LMCX CAT was built to be underwritten. The buyer we designed for tries to break a new asset on sight. Our newest blog walks through every question that reader asks, and how the CAT answers it.  #Underwriting #LMCX

ICYMI: the 20-year GWP figure would let us issue nearly 3x as many credits for the same molecules. We use the 100-year basis instead. Most discretion in a methane credit runs toward more. We pulled the lever the other way, and we say so.  #Methane #LMCX

Removals address the long-lived stock, the carbon still warming the planet in a century. Methane avoidance addresses the near-term flow that decides the next two decades. Buy only removals and you've left the decade exposed. A serious portfolio holds both. #Methane #LMCX

The market is moving toward removals. LMCX CAT is an avoidance instrument, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our newest blog makes the honest case for why measured methane avoidance still belongs on the table.  #Methane #LMCX

Measurement is the foundation of a credible credit. It is not the entirety of credit quality. #CarbonMarkets #Measurement #ESG #LMCX #Methane

ICYMI: cryptography proves the asset is real — but insurance answers the one question it can't. What happens if something goes wrong anyway? A Lloyd's policy turns open-ended risk into a defined claim. Idea vs. instrument. #Custody #LMCX

Most carbon credits are an estimate wearing the costume of a fact. A developer takes an activity, applies a factor from a published table, multiplies by an assumed baseline, and produces a number that's precise to several decimal places and very often wrong.  #Methane #LCMX

A risk committee doesn't need to master methane measurement. It needs to recognize the auditors: Fireblocks, Kent Group, KPMG, OGMP 2.0 Level 5. None of it is LMCX vouching for itself. Quality assurance done this way is a passport. #Custody #LMCX

The Middle East is raising sustainable capital faster than any market on earth — but only holds what it can trust. Confidence is engineered, not asserted. Our newest blog on custody, Lloyd's, and the Gulf.  #Custody #LMCX

ICYMI: no green sukuk has ever used a carbon credit as its underlying asset. This is frontier work. LMCX brings identifiable ownership, exclusive control, and a documented underlying event. The first deal to clear the bar sets the template. #GreenSukuk #LMCX

Islamic finance prohibits gharar, excessive uncertainty about what a thing is and what it's worth. It's the exact requirement most carbon assets fail. An insurance stack is a certainty argument. #IslamicFinance #LMCX

The Gulf's sustainable-debt boom is led by Islamic finance — sukuk were 45%+ of the region's sustainable issuance in 2025. Can a carbon asset ever sit underneath one? Our newest blog.  #GreenSukuk #LMCX

ICYMI: no rating agency has a method for carbon-collateralized debt yet. An automatic investment-grade carbon bond is a hope, not a result. But insured collateral + a rated insurer + clean ownership are what let the conversation happen at all. #FixedIncome #LMCX
