Paving the Way to a Greener Future: Verde's Carbon-Sequestering Bioasphalt Gains Early Validation from NCAT

A significant breakthrough in sustainable infrastructure has emerged as Verde Bioresins, a pioneering subsidiary of Verde Resources Inc., proudly announced early validation for its groundbreaking carbon-sequestering C-SEQ Bioasphalt. This revolutionary product, poised to redefine road construction, has received a crucial nod from the esteemed National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) at Auburn University, marking a pivotal moment in the quest for eco-friendly building materials.

Traditional asphalt production is a major contributor to global carbon emissions.

Verde’s C-SEQ Bioasphalt offers a powerful alternative, designed not just to replace petroleum-based binders but to actively capture and store carbon throughout its lifecycle. This innovative approach moves beyond simply reducing emissions; it transforms our roads into active carbon sinks, addressing a critical environmental challenge with a practical, scalable solution.

The early evaluation by NCAT utilized a state-of-the-art Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) to rigorously test Verde Bioresins’ C-SEQ Bioasphalt.

The results were nothing short of remarkable. Dr. R. Buzz Powell, P.E., NCAT's Assistant Director and head of their Bioasphalt Research, confirmed that the bioasphalt demonstrated exceptional performance in key metrics such as "complex modulus" and "phase angle" at high temperatures. These indicators are vital for assessing asphalt's long-term durability, resistance to rutting, and overall structural integrity, suggesting that C-SEQ Bioasphalt not only offers environmental benefits but also promises superior road performance.

At the heart of C-SEQ Bioasphalt lies Verde’s proprietary bio-resin technology, which ingeniously incorporates biomass waste into its composition.

This commitment to a "cradle-to-grave" carbon sink means that from its production using renewable resources to its application on roads, the bioasphalt continuously sequesters carbon. This holistic approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with road construction and maintenance, aligning perfectly with the global push towards a circular economy and net-zero targets.

Ron Valdes, CEO of Verde Resources Inc., expressed profound optimism about this validation.

"This early validation from NCAT is a testament to the immense potential of our C-SEQ Bioasphalt," Valdes stated. "We are not just offering an alternative; we are presenting a comprehensive solution that delivers significant environmental benefits by reducing CO2 emissions, coupled with the potential for improved road performance and even lower overall costs.

Our vision is to expand this sustainable technology globally, paving the way for truly green infrastructure."

The implications of this breakthrough are far-reaching. Beyond the immediate environmental advantages, C-SEQ Bioasphalt holds the promise of creating more resilient and longer-lasting roads, potentially reducing maintenance frequency and costs.

NCAT’s positive initial findings are a critical milestone, moving Verde Bioresins closer to the commercialization and widespread adoption of a technology that could fundamentally transform how we build and maintain our transportation networks, making sustainability a core component of every journey.
