Kana Earth, a UK-based environmental technology solutions provider, has announced the listing of Wilder Carbon’s carbon and biodiversity projects on the Kana Directory. Developed by the Kent Wildlife Trust and Somerset Wildlife Trust using the Wilder Carbon Standard, these projects aim to lock-up carbon through restoration of native habitats and reinstatement of natural processes.
The inclusion of Wilder Carbon projects is a significant step in scaling the UK’s natural capital market, which has the potential to support 57 million tonnes of CO2e removal per annum by 2050. Leveraging cutting-edge technology solutions, Kana Earth is transforming natural capital into a robust investment opportunity, bringing in large-scale private capital and creating an opportunity to transition land management.
Andy Creak, CEO and Co-Founder of Kana Earth, stated: “We are thrilled to welcome Wilder Carbon to the Kana Directory, further enriching the UK’s offering of natural capital. By bringing on new codes and methodologies and offering them the tools to showcase their projects, collaborate and efficiently manage workflows, we open up the market. This will greatly accelerate net zero progress and help us to reach our national and global potential.”
Sarah Brownlie, Project Manager at Wilder Carbon, commented: “We are delighted to be partnering with Kana Earth to feature Wilder Carbon projects on their platform, which brings together nature market participants to scale impact. It has never been more important to showcase the massive potential of UK nature and Kana have developed a powerful way to do this whilst recognising the diversity of schemes available across the market.”
Kana Earth is providing infrastructure solutions to both the supply and demand side of the natural capital market. The Kana Hub platform streamlines and scales the supply of high-quality carbon projects, while Kana Seed offers asset managers and businesses a platform to manage natural capital investments and land portfolios. Wilder Carbon’s mission is to restore nature on a massive scale for positive nature and climate impact. The Wilder Carbon Standard ensures projects delivered result in long-term carbon sequestration and tangible biodiversity gains.
Kana Earth and Wilder Carbon’s partnership is an exciting step in the journey to expand the UK’s net zero potential through a diverse natural capital market. By increasing capital flows into these invaluable projects, the UK is well on its way to realising its national and global potential.
