Key Project Benefits
Unlocking private sector investment will be critical to achieving decarbonisation at the scale and pace needed to meet the UK’s Net Zero targets. PNZ Carbon helps to address this, providing a route for investment in housing decarbonisation by verifying the emission reductions and social value of housing retrofit projects, and originating carbon credits backed by those reductions.
Whilst other carbon credit projects view each tonne of carbon reduction as interchangeable, our projects focus on the positive impact retrofit has on people’s lives. They have an attached social impact value, based on the UK Social Value Bank, which enables buyers of our credits to model, monitor, and measure their social impact through improvements in resident health and wellbeing and in savings made to the Exchequer.
Our high-quality domestic retrofit projects help to tackle fuel poverty, by significantly reducing the heating demand of homes — increasing their energy efficiency and lowering bills. This creates warmer, healthier homes, and delivers broader value for the Exchequer, with every £1 spent on eradicating fuel poverty estimated to save the NHS 42p.

“It [the house] feels warmer and comfortable than the place I used to live at… We had a pay-as-you go meter, so I feel like at times my mum was sort of consciously looking at the meter to see how much she’d got left and trying to budget her way around… The house, it's efficient, it's cheaper. Like I say, it's a lot better for the environment…”

“My house was retrofitted about 5 months ago. The house is more comfortable, warmer, no damp. If it's better for me, it's better for my dog - everything what I do is for him, I just love him so much.”
