Our Circular Model

PNZ Group’s innovative circular model empowers communities and drives sustainable change. By creating a market for carbon credits, we finance energy-efficient home improvements, reducing fuel poverty and carbon emissions. Our unique methodology quantifies both environmental and social benefits, ensuring that every retrofit project delivers a positive impact. Through partnerships with local authorities and housing associations, we’re scaling up solutions and accelerating the transition to a greener future.

Driving Investment in Home Decarbonization

At present, PNZ Group is introducing radical new means of financing home retrofits within the energy landscape of the UK. Building a marketplace for carbon credits creates a sustainable funding mechanism for energy-efficient improvements, which not only reduce carbon emissions but also relieve people from fuel poverty, thus providing a better quality of life for numerous individuals. Our partnerships with local governments and housing associations enhance the scalability operation of such programs and result in greater resource mobilization toward creating a greener tomorrow.

Quantifying Social and Environmental Impact

Besides the reduction of carbon, PNZ Group’s approach also measures the wider social and environmental benefits emerging from retrofitting homes. For example, improvements in resident health, well-being, and community resilience would be measured using the UK Social Value Bank. This all-encompassing aspect of its programs serves to realize measurable benefits for people and the planet. Transparency and accountability guarantee that the actual impact will be measured and communicated.

PNZ Group's Impact

PNZ Group is a leading innovator of the green energy revolution in the UK, creating ways to achieve real sustainable change. Our business is to finance energy-efficient home improvement projects, ameliorate fuel poverty, and reduce carbon emissions. We collaborate with local authorities and housing associations to expand our reach into even more communities. Our approach is transparent and accountable, maximizing the positive environmental and social impacts of projects.

Funding Energy Efficiency:

PNZ Group's innovative funding model for homes is based on carbon credits and gives financing to homes retrofitting energy-efficient measures.

Reducing Fuel Poverty:

We alleviate fuel poverty by making the efficiency of energy affordable to households in different climatic regions so that they can occupy their houses with heat.

Lowering Carbon Emissions:

These solutions have a significant contribution to the reduction of direct carbon emissions through the adjudication of climate change effects.

Scaling Impact:

By working with local authorities and housing associations, we are able to increase the scale on which our activities can reach into communities.

The Transparent and the Accountable:

We ensure that all our projects' positive impacts are measured and then communicated in an accurate way with the promise of transparency.

Fit within UN Sustainable Development Goals:

Our efforts contribute to a plethora of UN Sustainable Development Goals, most notably affordable and clean energy, climate action, and sustainable cities and communities.

A Successful Pilot: Paving the Way for a Greener Future

PNZ Group’s ground-breaking Retrofit Credits pilot scheme raises the bar for sustainable improvements to homes. In collaboration with HACT, we’ve managed to finance energy-efficient retrofits for 22 social housing organizations with impressive returns and social value. The trial thus demonstrates the efficacy of this transformational approach toward positive change and speeding the transition to a low carbon future.

Pioneering Retrofit Credits:

PNZ Group and HACT launched the world's first carbon credit for local housing retrofits.

Broad Impact:

22 social housing organizations across the UK participated in the pilot, benefiting thousands of residents.

Significant Revenue Generation:

The pilot generated over £100,000 in revenue within the first six months.

Long-Term Financial Benefits:

The estimated lifetime income from the pilot exceeds £7 million.

Enhanced Social Value:

Each tonne of carbon emissions reduced through the pilot generated an estimated £600 in social value.

Empowering Local Communities:

The pilot empowered local communities by investing in energy-efficient home improvements and reducing fuel poverty.

Average Social Values

A whole-house retrofit, for instance, can generate an average of £4,500 in social value per year. Additionally, every tonne of carbon emissions reduced through our projects yields an estimated £600 in social value.
