Verde Cuts Carbon Emissions by 46% in Road Construction
Verde Resources (VRDR) has announced groundbreaking preliminary findings from the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) regarding its TerraZyme® technology in road construction. The Life Cycle Assessment reveals:
- 46% reduction in carbon emissions
- 60% reduction in Portland cement use
- Complete elimination of hydrated lime
- Reduced logistics footprint through in-situ soil utilization
After eight months of testing at NCAT's Test Track, the S-11 cross-section demonstrated superior performance with minimal rutting, no cracking, and low International Roughness Index. The construction was completed in August 2024. The data will be submitted to Climate Action Reserve for carbon avoidance credits validation.
Verde Resources (VRDR) ha annunciato risultati preliminari rivoluzionari dal National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) riguardo alla sua tecnologia TerraZyme® nella costruzione stradale. La Valutazione del Ciclo di Vita rivela:
- Riduzione del 46% delle emissioni di carbonio
- Riduzione del 60% nell'uso del cemento Portland
- Eliminazione completa della calce idrata
- Riduzione dell'impatto logistico attraverso l'utilizzo in situ del suolo
Dopo otto mesi di test presso la pista di prova del NCAT, il profilo S-11 ha dimostrato prestazioni superiori con minima deformazione, nessuna fessurazione e basso Indice di Rugosità Internazionale. La costruzione è stata completata nell'agosto 2024. I dati saranno inviati al Climate Action Reserve per la validazione dei crediti di evitamento del carbonio.

Verde Resources (VRDR) hat bahnbrechende vorläufige Ergebnisse vom National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) zu seiner TerraZyme®-Technologie im Straßenbau bekannt gegeben. Die Lebenszyklusanalyse zeigt:
- 46% Reduktion der Kohlenstoffemissionen
- 60% Reduktion des Portlandzementverbrauchs
- Vollständige Eliminierung von Hydratkalk
- Reduzierung des Logistikfußabdrucks durch In-situ-Bodenverwendung
Nach acht Monaten Testen auf der Teststrecke des NCAT zeigte der Querschnitt S-11 eine überlegene Leistung mit minimalen Verformungen, keinen Rissen und einem niedrigen International Roughness Index. Der Bau wurde im August 2024 abgeschlossen. Die Daten werden zur Validierung von Kohlenstoffvermeidungszertifikaten an das Climate Action Reserve übermittelt.
- Significant 46% reduction in carbon emissions validated by NCAT
- Superior road performance with minimal rutting and no cracking
- 60% reduction in Portland cement use and elimination of hydrated lime
- Potential revenue stream from carbon avoidance credits
- Results are still preliminary and require ongoing validation
- Technology adoption depends on broader industry acceptance
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Verde's S-11 cross-section at the NCAT Test Track demonstrates significant advancements. Compared to a conventional method also installed on the track, TerraZyme® reduced overall carbon emissions by
"The numbers speak for themselves, and we couldn't be more thrilled," said Eric Bava, COO of Verde. "These results confirm TerraZyme's environmental and economic benefits, paving the way for broader adoption in road construction across the
The data from NCAT will be submitted to Climate Action Reserve as part of the ongoing application to register this project and generate carbon avoidance credits, further validating the concept.
"This enzyme technology has been incredibly impressive not only in reducing carbon-intensive materials, but also in overall emissions reduction and performance," said Nathan Moore, NCAT's lead for the test track program. "We will continue monitoring and collecting data, but TerraZyme is shaping up to be a game-changer in the road construction industry."
Verde remains committed to driving innovation in Net Zero road construction by collaborating with strategic partners to commercialize common-sense, sustainable infrastructure solutions. The company will share further insights as additional data emerges.
