shaping capital infrastructure, trusted knowledge and experts ecosystem for global scalable carbon markets
Founder’s Welcome
Dear reader and carbon enthusiast,
For each of us and in service to a sustainable society, I founded Kapnest with the vision and mission: to shape the capital infrastructure, trusted knowledge and experts ecosystem in carbon. Together we are writing the next stage of high-integrity markets and channeling resilient and tailored capital towards impactful projects.
I’m Adelina Toader, a capital strategist with nearly two decades of experience in corporate banking and international structured trade finance.
I've built and coordinated profitable businesses and bespoke financial services from the ground up around the world. Across commodities sectors, such energy, oil & gas, petrochemicals, fertilisers, metals and mining, as well as other real industries supply chains.
Over the past four years, I’ve led the development of the carbon credits financing business within a major global financial institution. And this is only the beginning…
Building on postgrad studies of collective psychoanalysis, time has come to interpolate quantitative analytical metrics with ecological psychology knowledge. My postgrad research is focused on why with abundant technical data at hand humanity lacks decision drive in decarbonisation and nature protection efforts. Findings will be presented during Energy Shift Forum, Davos 2026.

Next Steps
1. Trusted knowledge
A lack of shared language and risk standards is holding back climate investment.
Kapnest tackles this by boosting carbon literacy, eco-expertise and building a common climate investing vocabulary.
We deliver expert content, such as: latest relevant news, risk metrics analysis and project insights, through our platform, social media, and curated publications. Educational events, workshops and speaking engagements to amplify reach and impact.
What to expect? Carbon focused knowledge capsules. Extended bespoke strategic implementation and research reports.
2. Experts ecosystem
Carbon markets need a consolidated environment for credible, active players.
Kapnest is building that space: an ecosystem of committed capital providers, project developers, supply and demand representatives and specialised service providers.
Launch event will gather core stakeholders in Zürich during 10 to 12 September 2025. With the mission to co-develop a standardised term sheet for carbon financing. Capturing full financing cycle: from equity, blended finance, project financing, offtake.
What to expect? Common market standard term sheet template endorsed by experts for efficient execution of carbon deals globally. Dedicated workshops with selected audience and tailored relevant content, both quantitative analytical as well as qualitative with the lens of eco-psychology.
3. Capital structuring
At the heart of the Kapnest ecosystem is the alignment of real investors with high-quality carbon and nature-based projects.
Despite record energy transition investments of USD 2 trillion during 2024 versus ~USD 6.5 trillion real need. Carbon markets play a key role in providing the tools to price, measure and accelerate capital flow.
Kapnest addresses this disconnect by facilitating bespoke capital structuring and direct matchmaking between capital and investments projects.
What to expect? Investor to projects matchmaking. Bespoke development for institutions of education and risk management set-ups for carbon business.
4. Growth incubator
With deals executed, pipeline growing, and educational milestones achieved, Kapnest is positioning itself as the go-to ecosystem for global carbon markets.
Our ambition is to become the globally recognised gateway for capital access, trusted expertise, and a high-integrity expert carbon network. Accelerating the transition through clarity, connection, and real execution.
