What Viridios Capital does

Viridios Capital, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Mosman, Sydney, operates as a global carbon markets investment platform under the Viridios Group holding structure. The company serves wholesale institutional investors, corporates, and project developers with four interconnected service lines: Carbon Origination (investing in nature-based and technology-based projects globally and originating long-term carbon offtake agreements), Corporate Solutions (advisory services for net-zero offset programs), Asset Management (Individually Managed Accounts and bespoke fund structures for carbon exposure), and Climate Consultancy through wholly-owned subsidiary Pangolin Associates, which joined the Group in September 2023.

The firm's technology stack centres on a carbon origination and lifecycle management platform covering buying, retirement, trading, monitoring, valuation, and reporting, complemented by deep methodological expertise across ICVCM, VCM 2.0, CORSIA, ACCU, and jurisdictional REDD+ frameworks. A self-service carbon credits marketplace at viridios.cloverly.app handles lower-volume transactions. The former Viridios AI carbon analytics platform, built over five years as a comprehensive dataset on voluntary carbon credit projects, was divested to Bloomberg in early 2025.

Viridios monetises via transaction fees on credit origination and trading, management fees on IMAs and bespoke funds, and professional services fees for corporate advisory and Pangolin consultancy engagements. The firm holds Australian Financial Services Licence No. 521837 to provide asset management and custodial services, and operates a global project portfolio spanning Australia (Waterhouse River, Mapoon), Papua New Guinea (Lumagra), Mozambique (Mozambique Blue Carbon), Kenya (Kasigau Corridor REDD+), and the Caribbean (Carbonwave), alongside the Future Grazing livestock methane program developed with Feedworks Australia.

3. Corporate Solutions and Advisory: Guides wholesale clients in building offset programs meeting net-zero goals, offering access to premium carbon credits and managed funds. Services include structuring transactions, execution, registry services, and forward offtake purchase agreements.
4. SaaS Platform for Carbon Data and Analytics: Former Viridios AI business provided SaaS platform for carbon data and analytics, offering valuation and project information to help market participants determine fair value. This business was sold to Bloomberg in early 2025.

The company manages a portfolio of nature-based carbon projects including blue carbon initiatives (Mozambique Blue), REDD+ forest conservation (Lumagra, Kasigau), Australian ACCU projects (Waterhouse River, Mapoon), and innovative solutions (Future Grazing, Carbonwave).
