New Low-Carbon Asphalt Cuts Emissions by 95% While Enabling Carbon Removal
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: A new 10-year partnership between Verde Resources and C-Twelve will commercialize low-carbon asphalt technology across the US that reduces fossil fuel use by up to 95% while creating opportunities for engineered carbon removal.
📈 One key stat: The innovative asphalt production method saves up to 95% of fossil fuels typically burned in standard hot mix asphalt production, significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
💬 One key quote: “Our successful proof-of-concept is a direct reflection of the vision we set out to achieve together,” commented Verde Resources CEO Jack Wong.
1️⃣ The big picture: Verde Resources and C-Twelve have finalized a 10-year partnership to commercialize revolutionary low-carbon asphalt technology throughout the United States. Their collaboration follows successful proof-of-concept trials at the National Center for Asphalt Technology in Auburn, Alabama, which validated both the performance and economic feasibility of their innovative approach. The technology dramatically reduces fossil fuel consumption in asphalt production by up to 95% while enabling engineered carbon removal. Beyond environmental benefits, this breakthrough maintains pavement durability and creates new opportunities for carbon removal credits in infrastructure projects.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This partnership represents a major advancement for sustainable infrastructure by tackling emissions in the notoriously carbon-intensive asphalt industry. The technology provides dual benefits of drastically cutting production emissions while simultaneously creating pathways for engineered carbon removal. Government agencies can now address infrastructure needs while reducing carbon footprints without compromising on quality or durability. Furthermore, the solution generates carbon removal credits that help companies meet sustainability targets, as proven by Verde’s recent milestone of producing the first-ever biochar-based carbon removal credits from asphalt, certified by Puro.earth.
3️⃣ What’s next: Under this collaboration, Verde and C-Twelve will share ownership of solutions developed and deployed across the United States. Their technology will be scaled to reach more road construction and infrastructure projects nationwide. The partnership aims to continue generating carbon removal credits that are already being purchased by major financial institutions.
