Verdeo works with companies to identify, develop and finance projects that maximize value from capturing vented methane. Acting as a strategic partner, we identify profitable opportunities to generate revenue through the sale of environmental attributes such as carbon credits and RECs, adding these cash flows to any available energy value and other financial incentives.
Because each company's strategy may vary depending on its sector, industry position and regulatory outlook, Verdeo offers a flexible approach to project development. Most importantly, we align our incentives with those of our partners so that we make money when they make money.
