S3ID is connecting up an ecosystem that is seeking to accelerate the transition. On the supply side, solution providers are developing technologies and business models to facilitate a net zero, nature positive, and resilient future. On the demand side, entities bring demand signals, capital, and long term offtake commitments. S3ID provides expert review, a platform to connect the market, and a contractual framework for catalytic capital. To defray the costs of running this system, a reasonable closing cost for a transaction is assessed and an annual user fee for active participants. Once the platform reaches scale, S3ID is expected to be fully financially self-sufficient. As an initiative driven by a UK Community Interest Company that aims for substantial positive impact, S3ID also seeks philanthropic support to help it achieve scale quickly.
