Working with leading organizations to scale impact across water, carbon, and climate finance.
Virridy designs and scales drinking water treatment, precision irrigation, and watershed restoration programs—then uses IoT sensors, rigorous science, and digital MRV to verify emissions reductions and generate carbon credits that sustain the service. Our drinking water programs reach communities where most people drink untreated water because they cannot afford fuel to boil it.
Explore Projects Evidence LibraryHundreds of millions of people lack access to safe drinking water. Most cannot afford the fuel needed to boil it and instead drink untreated, contaminated water—leading to preventable disease and death. Those who do boil consume vast quantities of firewood, driving deforestation and household air pollution. When we provide proven water treatment technologies, we eliminate both the actual and suppressed demand for fuel, and the avoided emissions generate verified carbon credits.
Virridy pioneered this model. Our team developed the first-ever UN Clean Development Mechanism programs earning carbon credits for water treatment, and we've since deployed drinking water treatment programs across five countries in Africa, precision irrigation in Turkey and Mexico, and watershed restoration programs in the US—all financed by carbon credit revenue that sustains the service long-term.

Water treatment systems deployed across primary and secondary schools, targeting students drinking contaminated water. Builds on Virridy's pioneering UN CDM and Gold Standard programs that leveraged tens of millions in private financing.
Solar-powered water supply systems deployed across rural and urban communities in partnership with Amazi Water, Burundi's leading water access organization. Central to Burundi's national universal water access plan.
Community water kiosk network providing clean water, healthcare, and economic opportunities through Asili's social enterprise model in conflict-affected eastern Congo. Operated by local "fontineres" creating permanent employment.
Community water systems using gravity-fed and solar-powered pumping technologies across the Diana, Menabe, and Amoron'i Mania regions, in partnership with Helvetas.
20-year program deploying LifeStraw Community gravity-fed purifiers to up to 4,500 schools. Includes hygiene education, staff training, safe water storage, filter maintenance, and water quality testing.
$35M initiative across Marsabit, Garissa, Isiolo, Wajir, and Turkana counties. IoT sensors on hand pumps and boreholes monitor functionality, cutting repair time from 214 days to 26 days and raising functionality from 56% to 91%.
Solar-powered pumping and treatment systems serving rural communities, refugee settlements, and disaster-affected areas. Features satellite-enabled remote monitoring with Water Mission, operating since 2013.
Transitioning 1,000+ hectares from conventional to subsurface drip irrigation for alfalfa, corn, and sugar beets. Reduces nitrous oxide emissions and increases soil carbon sequestration, in partnership with Orbia Netafim.
Two programs: Morrison Creek (Steamboat Springs, ~500 homes) and Plum Creek (Castle Rock, 100K+ ratepayers). Comparing facility upgrades versus natural watershed solutions including riparian restoration, livestock fencing, cover cropping, and constructed wetlands.
First-ever issuance of verified watershed carbon credits. The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District deployed regenerative agricultural practices across 139,000 hectares, avoiding 73,000+ tonnes of CO₂e while reducing phosphorus runoff.
Analyzing watershed carbon methodology applicability for phosphorus reduction. Supporting water quality trading and adaptive management solutions through Wisconsin DNR framework, funded by the Walton Family Foundation.
Born from the discovery that self-reported usage overstates reality by 36–40%, Virridy's sensor platform delivers the objective, continuous data that carbon markets demand.
Continuous in-situ tryptophan-like fluorescence sensor detecting fecal contamination risk. Quantifies E. coli levels using machine learning with no regular calibration or cleaning required.
Satellite-connected IoT gateways with sensors tracking pump runtime and water system function across multiple countries, enabling real-time technician dispatch and resource allocation.
Cloud-based machine learning fusing sensor networks, remote sensing, streamflow, rainfall, and landcover data to deliver spatial and temporal water resource predictions at local and regional scales.
All credits generated under internationally recognized carbon credit standards with rigorous verification.
Applied across Africa projects (Burundi, DRC, Madagascar, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania). Quantifies avoided emissions from both actual fuelwood use and suppressed demand—accounting for communities that drink untreated water because they cannot afford fuel to boil it.
Applied in Turkey for precision irrigation projects. Quantifies climate benefits of subsurface drip irrigation adoption including reduced nitrous oxide emissions and increased soil carbon sequestration.
New methodology under expert review for US projects. Enables monetization of greenhouse gas emissions differences between facility upgrades and natural watershed restoration approaches.
Virridy's leadership team developed the first UN CDM and Gold Standard programs earning carbon credits for water treatment, leveraging tens of millions in private financing across Rwanda and Kenya.
Virridy has established carbon credit offtake agreements with partners worldwide, ensuring long-term demand for credits backed by peer-reviewed science, IoT-verified usage, and proven health outcomes.
