Green Finance Services
We’ll support your investment readiness journey and guide you through the developing world of sustainable finance to help you achieve your objectives faster.
Getting access to funding can be a challenge, but there are gains to be made – both environmentally and financially. To fuel your climate and nature ambitions with private green finance as part of a blended funding solution, you need to become market ready.
At Accelar, we focus on identifying your needs to help you put green finance to the best possible use. With our repository of financial models, cost/price data and benchmarks, and case studies, we’ll help you to identify and attract appropriate funding and finance to accelerate your green transition.
In fact, we’ve already done this for local and combined authorities, landowners, environmental charities, and infrastructure organisations. For example we have advised 12 Defra-funded trailblazing Landscape Recovery projects on their investment readiness journey amongst numerous other nature finance projects (e.g. within the LINC, NEIRF and FIRNS programmes). Our team has also been at the forefront of harnessing green finance across place-based building retrofit programmes and transport decarbonisation.
Our goal here is to support the growth of the green finance market as part of a blended funding approach to benefit people, places and our environment.
Here’s how we do it:
We help you understand the intricacies of green finance, and its potential relevance to fuel your objectives
We advise you on the design of new green finance markets and mechanisms (e.g. new markets for ecosystem services and new codes/credits)
We develop the business and financial models for your programmes and projects to mobilise green finance and explore market opportunities
We map the market and engage to secure new revenues with relevant potential funders and financers including corporate partners, offtake buyers, philanthropic donors
We monitor, evaluate and benchmark the impacts of green finance during programme or project implementation
“The Carbon Finances study has provided us with an excellent platform for advancing our work on energy efficiency and carbon reduction....The consortium led by Accelar was great to work with and offered many valuable suggestions along the way.”
Our impact and evaluation capabilities are bolstered by our digital tools. Our Nature Finance Impact Hub, for instance, helps pinpoint the benefits of investing in nature-based solutions. You can read more about our analytics services here.
We recently launched BNG Finder as a platform to connect buyers and sellers of biodiversity units, aiding the nature recovery effort. BNG Finder is powered by the Nature Finance Impact Hub.
