Lana aims to speed up project finance assessments for decarbonization
Fintech firm Lana is compressing the assessment period for decarbonization projects from 6-9 months to days, offering solutions for both project developers and capital providers.
Fintech company Lana is significantly shortening the assessment period for decarbonization projects, reducing it from the traditional 6-9 months to mere days. This acceleration aims to provide project developers with faster insights into the strengths of their energy transition initiatives.
The company's platform assesses the bankability of projects such as bioenergy, solar and natural energy storage, green ammonia, and green hydrogen, alongside energy efficiency projects. Lana's goal is to provide solutions that expedite and refine capital allocation and risk pricing across the entire capital stack, from debt holders and development banks to commercial banks and equity investors.
For capital providers, Lana offers improved deal flow and a clearer understanding of the risks associated with decarbonization projects. This enables more accurate and cost-effective pricing of infrastructure risks, making smaller-scale projects accessible to investors who previously found them unviable due to assessment costs.
Lana operates in a global market estimated at $2 trillion annually, with a current focus on APAC manufacturers. The company competes primarily with traditional consulting firms, differentiating itself through its speed and pricing capabilities. Lana reports a substantial pipeline and frequently receives referrals from financial institutions.
