How it Works:

Through Enhanced Rock Weathering, our 3.32B tons of mineral resources hold a total carbon removal potential of approximately 0.4 gigatons of CO2.

Note: Verde has combined measured and indicated mineral resources of 1.47 billion tons at 9.28% K2O and inferred mineral resource of 1.85 billion tons at 8.60% K2O. Resource estimate effective date: May 12, 2022. Responsible QP: Bradley Ackroyd, B. Sc (Geo), MAIG . Cutoff Content: 7.5% K2O. Fur further details see the Pre-Feasibility Study: investor.verde.ag/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NI-43-101-Pre-Feasibility-Technical-Report-for-the-Cerrado-Verde-Project.pdf.

Our glauconite-rich rock stands out for its superior weathering properties in comparison to other materials and our CDR technology is backed by scientific research

Our products extract CO2 from the atmosphere at a ratio of 120kg of CO2 per ton of product.
Independent study conducted at Newcastle University, led by Prof. David Manning, a renowned expert in Enhanced Rock Weathering.

Our products extract CO2 from the atmosphere at a ratio of 120kg of CO2 per ton of product. Independent study conducted at Newcastle University, led by Prof. David Manning, a renowned expert in Enhanced Rock Weathering.

Our products undergo mineral dissolution in only a matter of months to a year from its application to soils, faster than the most rapid reacting silicate minerals (forsterite), which takes years to decades for a similar dissolution.

Commissioned study conducted at the Heriot Watt University’s Research Centre for Carbon Solutions by its leader Phil Renforth, Ph.D., an expert in enhanced weathering and negative emission technologies.

This is equivalent to capturing 1 ton of CO2 for every 8.3 tons applied to fields in a matter of months, a significantly faster timeframe than any other major ERW project worldwide.

Our installed overall production capacity is 3,000,000 tpy, translating to a CDR potential of 360,000 tons per year, with no requirement for additional CAPEX

We are fully permitted to mine 2.83Mtpy and have submitted concurrent mining and environmental applications for an additional 25Mtpy pending approval.

Co-benefits

In addition to their carbon capture capabilities, our products serve a source of potash, an essential nutrient for plants. When applied to soils, they contribute to the growth of healthier and higher-yielding crops. 

Additionality

Our project adheres to the principles of additionality, essential for ensuring the quality of carbon credits.

 

Safe

Our solution has no adverse effects on the environment. They are also certified organic by various governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Reliable

Our resources are compliant with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 standard, which assures our rock’s consistent mineralogy, carbon capture effectiveness, and absence of contaminants. 

Nature-based

With our technological manufacturing process, we accelerate a natural geological process that has been ongoing for millions of years, providing a faster and more efficient carbon capture solution. 

Permanent

Our carbon capture solution guarantees effective carbon mitigation for over 1,000 years. The durability of our CO2 sequestration is demonstrated through the production of bicarbonate, which removes carbon from the biological cycle and mineralizes it. 

Scalable

Our project is scalable and cost-effective, relying on renewable zero-emission hydropower for 100% of our electricity needs.

Rapid and effective

Our raw material has a faster dissolution rate compared to other minerals, as proven by agronomic trials and potassium release studies. Additionally, our products undergo meticulous particle size control during the manufacturing process, ensuring a consistent particle size distribution, essential for optimal carbon capture.

Carbon Credits

Trusted Carbon Credits with strong CSR impact

Our difference 

By utilizing our products, farmers are not only nourishing their crops with essential nutrients but also playing a role in reducing CO₂e emissions, subsequently generating carbon credits.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Carbon Credits are tradable instruments representing the reduction of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions in the atmosphere, used to compensate for carbon emissions generated by an activityEach Carbon Credit represents 1 tonne of CO₂e reduction.  

Carbon Credits are used to offset organizations’ and individuals’ CO₂e emissionsFor example, a company can buy a carbon credit to offset 1 tonne of their CO₂e emissions. Once a credit is used to offset emissions, it is retired permanently and cannot be resold. 

All the electricity used in Verde’s production process comes from renewable hydroelectric sources, significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with our products. The CO₂e emissions surplus resulting from the low emissions of our production process and the carbon captured by our products’ application, is converted into carbon credits. Each carbon credit represents the mitigation of 1 tonne of CO₂e. 

Generally, high quality carbon offset projects must be associated with GHG reductions that are: 

  • Additional 

  • Not overestimated 

  • Permanent 

  • Not double counted 

  • Significant environmental and social outcomes 

  • Beneficial to relevant stakeholders 

The prices of carbon credits from carbon offset projects vary mainly due to: 

  • Technology, vintage and location of carbon offset project 

  • Different standards, certifications and third-party ratings 

  • Community based benefits 

  • Existing carbon pricing regulations, such as increasing carbon taxes 

  • Supply and demand of carbon credit
