Verde Resources (OTCQB: VRDR) has achieved a significant milestone by successfully implementing its innovative enzyme technology on the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track. This marks the first-ever application of enzyme technology on the Test Track, showcasing Verde's commitment to sustainable solutions in the building materials sector.
The technology has reduced the project's carbon footprint by eliminating lime usage and cutting Portland cement consumption by at least 60%. It effectively stabilizes poor-quality clay soil, enhances stability, and reduces moisture sensitivity. The approach also minimizes material transportation needs by utilizing native materials, resulting in a total cost savings of at least 30% and contributing to carbon avoidance credits.
Verde's collaboration with NCAT represents a significant step towards aligning Net Zero initiatives with the construction industry, which is responsible for 37% of global carbon emissions. The next phase will involve applying biochar asphalt as the wearing course to validate carbon sequestration and generate Carbon Removal Credits.
