Our take

When co-founder Andy wanted to make his cycle helmet business Hedkayse carbon neutral, he looked to offset its emissions locally rather than overseas. Quickly he learnt that doing so would be more complicated than first expected, with there being no central place to source information about projects, their developers and their credentials, this is when the idea for Kana was born.

Kana is an infrastructure putting all British nature-based carbon projects in one place. Playing matchmaker between landowners and investors with the capital to help them get possible carbon emission projects off the ground. It's an ambitious idea but one that the UK needs to focus on in order to reach the climate change commitments it has made to be net zero by 2050.

While progress is steadily being made, there is still a lot of work to be done in order to substantially reduce emissions. With its directory and upcoming plans to further build out its infrastructure, Kana is well on its way to making a huge impact on the UK's climate change commitments.
