Jacksonville, Florida · Est. 2025
GDF Ventures operates across two high-growth verticals — geospatial AI technology and clean energy infrastructure — delivering data-driven insight and building the renewable future of Northeast Florida.
What We Do
From AI-powered spatial analysis to renewable energy infrastructure, GDF Ventures turns complex data and natural resources into lasting enterprise value — with a focus on Northeast Florida and beyond.
We deliver AI-powered geospatial solutions that transform raw location data into strategic insight — for industries ranging from environmental monitoring to urban development and logistics.
Start a projectGDF Ventures develops renewable energy facilities that convert organic waste streams into renewable natural gas, electricity, and environmental commodities — funded through federal infrastructure programs including USDA REAP, C-PACE, and IRA clean energy incentives.

A 1.5 MW anaerobic co-digestion facility in the Jacksonville–St. Johns–Clay County corridor, processing municipal biosolids from multiple utility partners and regional food waste to produce renewable natural gas, clean electricity, and six simultaneous revenue streams.
A utility-scale co-digestion facility designed as a regional hub serving JEA, Clay County Utility Authority, and St. Johns County Utility Authority. Dual-tank architecture separates biosolids and food waste streams to generate D3 and D5 RINs simultaneously — the highest-value configuration available under current EPA rules.
JEA, CCUA, and SJCUA deliver dewatered biosolids under 10–20 year offtake agreements with volume minimums.
Institutional, commercial, and industrial food waste accepted at the gate — tipping fee revenue begins before gas production.
Separate digesters for each feedstock optimize D3 and D5 RIN capture simultaneously under EPA's 2023 Set Rule.
Raw biogas upgraded to 96–98% methane and injected into the Peoples Gas distribution network.
CHP generator converts biogas to clean electricity for grid export or on-site use — waste heat recycled for digester efficiency.
Nutrient-rich post-digestion material sold as agricultural soil amendments to regional farms and landscaping operations.
About GDF Ventures
GDF Ventures combines technical depth with entrepreneurial execution across two sectors where data intelligence and physical infrastructure increasingly converge.
Geospatial intelligence and renewable energy are increasingly interconnected. Our cross-disciplinary approach identifies opportunities at the intersection that single-sector firms miss.
Our energy projects are structured to deploy USDA REAP grants, C-PACE financing, and IRA Section 48 tax credits — proven federal programs purpose-built for this asset class.
Jacksonville-based and community-focused. We build long-term utility partnerships and local clean energy assets — converting municipal waste problems into regional economic value.
Each energy project generates five to six simultaneous revenue streams — RINs, tipping fees, power sales, RECs, and digestate — reducing project risk through structural diversification.
