SILCANYON

Sustainable Infrastructure Linking Communities and Nature-Oriented Networks

It’s not about making projects look beautiful — it’s about preserving cultural identity within the landscape. Investors may report on ESG, but what does it really stand for in practice? Are aspects like biodiversity, soil health, water stewardship, climate risk management, preserving cultural ecosystem services in the pre-execution phase, and true landscape integration genuinely accounted for in your project planning?

— look beyond compliance — prioritise people first

Solar, wind, Hydrogen, Ammonia — 20 years of clean energy expertise. We fuse biodiversity, local knowledge, and Nature-Based Solutions to deliver projects communities embrace — and permits unlock faster.

Socio-environmental and landscape impacts can be solved with the right approach — integrating Nature-Based Solutions and local knowledge into every new energy project.

OUR
SERVICES

We show our customers how biodiversity and Nature-Based Solutions — from wind and offshore to agrivoltaics — cut costs and strengthen local communities

Our method integrates Land Use Impacts into LCOE and applies clear metrics to measure effects on nature and people — vital for a true Life Cycle Assessment.

Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaics integrates biodiversity and communities by prioritizing solar energy generation while making the most efficient use of agricultural land. It enables the dual use of land for food production and clean energy, creating added value for nature and local people.

Greenhouses

When maximizing food production is the priority, greenhouses — whether plastic or glass — remain the most efficient solution today. By understanding the full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of greenhouse systems, we can optimize CO₂ use, crop yields, and water consumption, especially through advanced techniques like hydroponics.

Nature Based Solutions

Monetizing natural capital demands clear cost insight, monitoring, and certification. Locally rooted Nature-Based Solutions align well with natural capital and deliver ecosystem services with strong cultural value.

Training

We offer training courses covering a range of topics — from solar and biogas project development to understanding how projects grounded in nature’s contributions can deliver positive value. These courses explain why establishing baselines and integrating robust metrics are essential to prove and sustain nature-positive projects that, over time, provide fundamental ecosystem services such as water supply.
