Sliced: 🎙️ Valentin Lautier on Opening Carbon Markets to Everyone
Listen to this episode on any of the streaming platforms below.
“Carbon isn’t just a cost of doing business — it’s becoming an asset class of the future.”
— Valentin Lauer
In our October episode of Untangling Climate Finance, Jay sits down with Valentin Lautier, Founder and CEO of Homaio, to explore how they are helping compliance carbon markets become accessible to everyday investors, and what that means for the future of climate finance.
Valentin explains how Homaio turns EU carbon allowances (EUAs) from the EU Emissions Trading System into investable climate assets that deliver both returns and real emissions impact. By opening this regulated market to individuals, Homaio is helping transform carbon pricing from policy into participation.
Valentin breaks down:
✅ How the EU carbon market works and why it’s one of the world’s most effective climate tools
✅ Why compliance markets differ from the voluntary market
✅ What democratizing access to carbon assets means for the next generation of investors
✅ How policy, regulation, and technology are shaping the future of carbon finance
✅ Why financial innovation is critical to accelerating global decarbonisation
This episode offers a front-row look at how climate finance is moving mainstream, and why giving everyone a stake in carbon markets could be a turning point for climate action.

We are Igniting Climate Solutions: Mobilizing $1 Billion Per Year in Impact Investment by 2030!
At Gordian Knot Strategies, our goal is to help mobilize $1 billion per year in climate finance. That is why we’re committed to making climate finance smarter and faster by addressing a broken impact investing screening process. That’s why we built Traro®, a predictive analytics platform designed to help investors rapidly triage opportunities with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
We recently hosted a live webinar focused on leveraging Traro® for more effective impact investing screening. If you weren’t able to attend, the recording link can be found here.
For those interested in further exploring these best practices, a free guide is available – Smarter Climate Investing: 7 Strategic Filters Before Your First Impact Dollar – which distills actionable lessons learned for screening climate projects using seven essential criteria.
If your organization is interested in seeing Traro® in action, we’d love to show you how it works. Email us at traro@gordianknotstrategies.com. There’s no cost to access the guide or the demo. Our goal is to equip more investors with tools that unlock real climate impact.
