Cross-Cutting Capability

Carbon Monetisation

Generating, measuring, and trading carbon credits from EPC upgrades through the Klarbon platform, aligned with Verra and voluntary carbon markets.

Overview

Carbon as an Asset Class

Every EPC upgrade we deliver reduces the operational carbon emissions of the property. These verified carbon reductions have tangible financial value in voluntary and compliance carbon markets. Kennis Capital systematically captures this value through the Klarbon platform, creating an additional revenue layer from improvements we are already making for asset quality and regulatory compliance.

The voluntary carbon market is projected to grow significantly as corporate net zero commitments accelerate demand for verified reduction credits. Our portfolio of real, measurable, additional carbon savings from UK housing retrofit is well-positioned to meet this demand.

Approach

From Retrofit to Revenue

Credit Generation

EPC upgrades from D/E to A/B generate measurable carbon savings. These savings are quantified using established methodologies and converted into tradeable carbon credits through the Klarbon platform.

Measurement & Verification

Klarbon provides continuous carbon measurement across the portfolio. Pre- and post-retrofit energy consumption is monitored, baselines established, and savings independently verified to investment-grade standards.

Market Access

Credits are aligned with Verra VCS standards for voluntary carbon markets. Klarbon facilitates both bilateral trades with corporate buyers and market listing through established exchanges.

ESG Reporting & Compliance

Portfolio carbon data feeds directly into investor ESG reports, TCFD disclosures, and green bond certification. A single data pipeline serves regulatory compliance and commercial monetisation.

Technology

The Klarbon Platform

Klarbon is purpose-built for real estate carbon accounting. It integrates with smart meter data, EPC records, and retrofit specifications to calculate carbon baselines, measure ongoing reductions, and generate verifiable credit documentation. The platform handles the full lifecycle from measurement through to market listing.

Automated Baselines

Pre-retrofit energy consumption profiling using smart meter data and EPC certificates to establish verified baselines.

Continuous Monitoring

Post-retrofit energy monitoring validates actual savings against predicted reductions, building credit credibility.

Credit Issuance

Verified reductions are packaged into tradeable carbon credits with full audit trail and third-party attestation.

Standards

Verra & Voluntary Market Alignment

Our carbon credits are developed to meet Verra Verified Carbon Standard requirements, ensuring credibility, permanence, and additionality. Credits from UK housing retrofit are grounded in physical asset improvements with measurable energy reductions, making them among the most defensible credits in the voluntary market.
