Perdico Energy developed micro-grid solutions that converted landfill methane into renewable energy through co-located data centers. The company targeted a specific inefficiency: globally, landfills emit 15 trillion cubic feet of methane annually—a greenhouse gas 84 times more potent than CO2—while traditional mitigation approaches like flaring or selling to the grid proved economically unviable for most sites. Perdico's system paired satellite-connected, containerized data centers with on-site methane conversion equipment, eliminating pipeline and grid infrastructure costs while monetizing emissions that would otherwise be wasted.

The venture-backed company focused on large Middle Eastern landfills, offering operators a zero-capex model with revenue sharing or gas royalty agreements. Projects were designed for 6-12 month deployment timelines and targeted sites producing over 100 SCFM of recoverable methane. The technology was structured to provide immediate economic value while creating infrastructure that could later support on-site electricity needs or grid sales as demand evolved.
