Project Vana: Driving Net Zero through Supply Chains with Corporate Land Holdings

Vana项目将把英国公司与一个建立在英国肥沃的企业开放数据基础设施和成熟监管框架上的净零市场联系起来。与现有的供应链透明度立法相结合，VANA将通过英国供应链帮助实现和扩大净零。VANA项目旨在通过使拥有土地和建筑的企业能够与产品、服务、志愿者和知识联系起来，减少其范围1的排放，从而实现这一点。通过提供供应链的可见性，VANA将使这些公司能够利用他们的购买杠杆来激励他们的供应商做同样的事情(范围2和3)。市场的存在，Vana原型(由UKRI通过UWE/SWCTN提供资金)证明了这一点。在大流行期间，VANA原型成功地识别了29,792家英国和外国公司，这些公司拥有235,605公顷(组织拥有的4,703,136公顷土地)，与潜在的林地机会重叠-超过了英国25年环境计划(UK25YEP)设定的2042年前18,000公顷的目标。这些公司有可能在50年内从其土地资产中捕获7640万至1.01亿吨碳(到2030年超过1300万吨，而目标是720万吨)。他们也是世界上最大的供应链的一部分。瓦纳项目将把这些公司(仅通过他们的土地和建筑资产就有最大的潜力大幅减少英国的碳排放)与能够帮助他们实现净持股零的组织和公司联系起来。

Project Vana will connect UK companies with a net zero marketplace built on the UK's fertile corporate open data infrastructure and mature regulatory framework. In conjunction with existing supply chain transparency legislation Vana will help achieve and scale net zero through UK supply chains. Project Vana was designed to do this through enabling corporates with land and buildings to connect with products, services, volunteers and knowledge to reduce their scope 1 emissions. By providing visibility into their supply chains, Vana will enable those same corporates to use their buying leverage to incentivise their suppliers to do the same (scopes 2 and 3).The market exists, as proven by the Vana prototype (funded by UKRI through UWE/SWCTN). During the pandemic, the Vana prototype successfully identified 29,792 UK & foreign companies that owned 235,605 ha (out of 4,703,136 ha of land owned by organisations) that overlaps with potential woodland opportunities - more than the 18,000 ha target by 2042 set in the UK 25 Year Environment Plan (UK25YEP). These companies have the potential to capture 76.4-101 million tonnes of carbon over 50 years in their land assets (13M+ tonnes by 2030 compared with the 7.2M tonne target). They also are part of the world's largest supply chains.Project Vana will connect these corporates (with the greatest potential to significantly reduce the UK's carbon emissions through their land and building assets alone) with organisations and companies able to help them achieve net zero on their holdings.
