Verdeo designs, finances, develops and maximizes value from projects that produce clean energy and provide environmental benefits. With a focus on the mining, municipal solid waste, and oil and gas sectors in North America, Verdeo works with leading industrial companies to design and implement projects that lead to improved financial and environmental performance.
Coal Mining
Verdeo invests in and operates projects which utilize Coal Mine Methane, including Ventilation Air Methane, to improve the safety, efficiency and profitability of coal mining operations, and therefore their sustainability.
Verdeo projects maximize the capture and use of methane by assisting coal mines to enhance methane drainage capture, flow and quality; this raises safety standards in the underground environment while increasing the opportunity for increased energy utilization.
Projects generate value through the efficient use of the methane emitted as a result of mining operations. The methane is extracted from underground through pre and post-mining drainage measures, and through the mines’s ventilation system. Utilizing the methane as a fuel source for power generation or process heat can create substantial cost savings for mine operators. By preventing the methane from reaching the atmosphere, environmental benefits are achieved which can provide additional economic value and can also reduce risks.
Landfill Gas to Energy
Verdeo utilizes municipal waste principally to create clean energy through the development and operation of Landfill Gas to Energy (“LFGE”) projects. Working with landfill owners, operators and waste management companies, our LFGE team finances, develops and operates projects that maximize the value of this natural energy resource, including the associated environmental benefits.
Oil & Gas
Verdeo works with leading oil and gas producers on solutions that capture vented and fugitive methane to generate new revenue streams and reduce compliance risk. We identify projects that will generate gas savings through efficient use of resources as well as value from environmental commodities (carbon credits or other policy-driven incentives).
