Welcome to EnTrade
We are a Wessex Water business that creates and operates on-line markets for nature based solutions. We solve the environmental challenges of nutrient neutrality, biodiversity net gain, net zero carbon and flood risk management.
A new revenue source for farmers
We offer farmers a new way to make money by selling environmental credits from their land . Becoming an EnTrade farmer provides you with three key benefits:
1. Create new, reliable income streams
2. Get paid on time
3. Get paid at commercially viable rates to look after nature
We design our online marketplaces to make it easy for farmers to make bids and see if the price they want is likely to be paid. Since July 2016, we have run over 30 marketplaces and set up contracts for farmers that are worth more than £3.4 million. The more that farmers register interest, then the more demand there will be from buyers across the country. It’s quick, easy and free to sign-up.
Net gain for developers
We are creating catchment markets to give developers the chance to buy regulator-approved offsets for biodiversity and nutrient neutrality - both phosphorus and nitrogen. Following our experience in settling deals for nutrient neutral development in the Hampshire Avon, we are exploring a large-sale catchment market in Somerset for supply of nature based projects that we will accredit to provide Habitats Regulations compliant Phosphorus offsets.
Natural solutions for pollution control
Water pollution reduction, carbon storage and flood risk reduction are just some of the additional environmental services that be created by investing in nature. We can use our technology and science to turn your maps and partnerships into real deals that deliver for nature and your environmental goals.
