Verde Resources Inc. (Verde) and Isometric, the leading certifier of carbon removal, have joined forces to revolutionize the carbon credit market. This strategic collaboration aims to scale high-integrity carbon credits through infrastructure, specifically focusing on engineered biochar and its integration into asphalt. By combining Verde's infrastructure-focused carbon removal model with Isometric's scientifically rigorous protocols, they are transforming everyday infrastructure into long-term carbon sinks.
The collaboration introduces Isometric's Biochar Production and Storage Protocol, which demands comprehensive material lifecycle accounting, strict feedstock criteria, and advanced durability quantification. This protocol ensures that biochar can be certified with durability ranging from 200 years to over 1,000 years, with the highest tier representing permanent carbon storage. Verde's BioAsphalt™ technology integrates engineered biochar into road materials, creating a durable storage medium for carbon while enhancing asphalt performance and sustainability.
Verde's US biochar supply partner, Biochar Solutions LLC (BSL), has undergone an audit of its California production facility under Isometric's protocol. Similarly, Verde's proprietary BioFraction™ biochar facility in Borneo is undergoing the same audit and verification process. These milestones establish a fully verified supply chain of engineered biochar, meeting stringent requirements for traceability, durability, and carbon accounting integrity.
Isometric's AI-powered verification technology, Certify, further streamlines data collection and certification. This technology enables continuous data submission, standardized carbon accounting, and faster issuance of carbon removal certificates, bridging the gap between scientific rigor and scalable commercialization.
David Armstrong, Partnerships Manager at Isometric, highlights the scalability of biochar as a carbon removal pathway and the ideal long-term storage medium in built materials like asphalt. He emphasizes the collaboration's focus on issuing high-quality biochar credits for Verde's BioAsphalt™ technology, turning asphalt into a climate solution.
The partnership with Isometric is a significant catalyst for Verde's commercialization with Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc. By combining Isometric's high-integrity certification platform with Ergon's extensive production and distribution network, Verde is poised to unlock infrastructure as a new category of scalable, durable carbon removal tied to the built environment.
Verde's collaboration with Isometric also advances its strategy to license its Net Zero infrastructure blueprint globally, starting with Singapore and expanding across the Asia-Pacific region. This approach enables rapid scaling without significant capital expenditure, offering a practical pathway for nations to achieve sustainability goals.
Isometric-certified carbon removal credits meet the highest standards of quality and transparency, supporting liquidity, price discovery, and institutional participation in the carbon market. This collaboration bridges infrastructure and carbon markets, making every mile a modern carbon sink and paving the roads of the future across North America and beyond.
In summary, the partnership between Verde and Isometric is a game-changer, transforming infrastructure into a scalable and durable carbon removal solution. By combining innovative technologies and rigorous protocols, they are paving the way for a greener future, one mile at a time.
