Verde Resources and Australian firm C-Twelve have formalized a decade-long exclusive partnership to commercialize low-carbon asphalt technology across the United States. This agreement builds on a collaboration initiated in October 2024 and strengthened by successful proof-of-concept trials at the NCAT Test Track in Alabama.
The trials demonstrated that asphalt could be produced while eliminating up to 95% of the fossil fuel use traditionally required, significantly lowering carbon emissions. This innovation also enables scalable carbon sequestration through Verde’s intellectual property, allowing for the generation of Carbon Removal Credits. These credits provide both environmental impact and a new revenue avenue for companies aiming to meet emission reduction targets.
In April 2025, Verde became the first to generate certified biochar-based Carbon Removal Credits from asphalt, verified by Puro.earth. These credits were pre-sold to a global financial institution, signaling strong market interest and confidence in the technology’s viability.
This partnership aims to reshape infrastructure development by integrating sustainable materials without inflating costs. The model not only enhances pavement durability but also helps offset carbon footprints while stretching infrastructure budgets through tradable credits.
As the collaboration moves from research to implementation, Verde’s U.S. presence is expected to play a key role in scaling deployment. The initiative demonstrates how sustainable technologies can offer both climate benefits and cost-effective solutions for public and private sectors alike.
