In collaboration with Oregon Biochar Solutions and NCAT, Verde produced and installed 110 tons of cold mix asphalt integrated with 5 tons of biochar in December 2024. The showcase project, completed on December 20th, demonstrated a breakthrough in sustainable infrastructure, combining cold mix asphalt with biochar to deliver both greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and carbon sequestration benefits. This unprecedented winter showcase—from production to installation—was captured here. The resulting 8 tons of Carbon Removal Credits have been issued by Puro.earth, the world's leading crediting platform for engineered carbon removal, and have already been pre-purchased by one of the world's largest financial institutions focused on Carbon Dioxide Removals (CDRs).
"Our showcase demonstrates that common-sense economics and Net Zero infrastructure solutions can go hand in hand," said Jack Wong, CEO of Verde Resources. "Bio-Asphalt isn't just cheaper, more durable and efficient—it's scalable, sustainable, and deliver real benefits. Our industry partners can reduce costs while also tap into the value of carbon credits that go straight to their bottom line. Going green has too often been perceived as a luxury, but Verde's solution is a win for asphalt producers, frontline workers, taxpayers, and the environment."
Verde's Bio-Asphalt can be produced and applied year-round, even during winter, without the need for heat or solvents. This extends paving and production seasons, which unlocks additional economic benefits while significantly cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It's also odorless, making it safer for frontline workers.
"We congratulate Verde Resources and Oregon Biochar Solutions for their pioneering and innovative storage of biochar into asphalt. The use of biochar in certain asphalt products is deemed an eligible biochar end-use that preserves its carbon storage value under Puro Standard Biochar Methodology," said Alvin Lee, Head of Supply at Puro.earth.
The NCAT cross section served as the proving ground for Verde's Net Zero Blueprint—an approach that integrates advanced asphalt technology with Carbon Removal Credit potential that results in even stronger project economics. The technology is rigorously tested under real-world conditions for resistance to extreme temperatures, structural integrity, and long-term durability.
"Verde Resources has delivered an innovative and reliable solution for modern infrastructure that not only reduces GHG emissions but also actively contribute to carbon sequestration," said Perrine Legoubé, Carbon Director at GECA, who oversees Verde's Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) certifications. "As Verde's global licensing model expands, the project's positive impact on United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 9.4 and 11.6 will only continue to grow."
