How it Works:

In areas primarily composed of degraded pastures, which were deforested decades ago by local landowners for cattle breeding purposes, we extract our raw material, a naturally occurring silicate mineral.

Using Cambridge Tech technology to achieve the ideal particle size for enhanced weathering and optimized nutrient release, we finely grind our raw material.

These finely ground particles are then applied to farmlands. Once applied to soils, they are exposed to atmospheric CO2, initiating the enhanced weathering process.

Chemical weathering reactions take place, converting atmospheric CO2 to dissolved bicarbonate and releasing nutrients into the soil.

Bicarbonate ions are naturally transported to the oceans through hydrological processes.

In the ocean, bicarbonate ions react with calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions.

This reaction leads to the formation of stable mineral carbonates, such as calcite and magnesite, through a process known as carbon mineralization.

The mineral carbonates precipitate and become part of ocean sediments, effectively storing the captured carbon for thousands to millions of years.

We have a mineral resource that exceeds 3.32 billion tonnes, and our rock stands out for its superior weathering properties in comparison to other materials

The dissolution process of our mineral reaches completion within 7 to 12 months, a significantly shorter timeframe compared to other minerals that may take decades to fully dissolve under similar conditions.

Analyses performed on our products at Newcastle University have confirmed the efficiency to extract CO₂ from the atmosphere at a ratio of 120kg of CO₂ per tonne of product

This independent study was conducted under the leadership of Prof. David Manning, PhD, a leading expert in ERW.

We currently have an installed annual production capacity of 3 million tonnes, with the potential of capturing 360,000 tonnes of CO2 per year

Our goal is to reach an annual production capacity of 50 million tonnes, increasing our carbon capture potential to 6.0 million tonnes of CO2 per year.

Our mineral resources hold a total carbon removal potential of 0.40 Gt of CO2

With our current installed production capacity of 3.00 Mt per year, we already have the capability to capture and offset up to 0.36 Mt of CO2 annually.

The dissolution process of our products is completed within a timeframe ranging from a few months to just over a year.

The speed of mineral dissolution is directly linked to the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, as faster dissolution results in more rapid CO2 absorption.

When applying the same analytical approach to olivine, one of the primary silicates with a faster reaction rate, the same dissolution timescales are on the order of years to decades.

The research was conducted by Dr. Phil Renforth, a renowned expert in enhanced weathering and negative emission technologies. He is also the leader of the Carbon Dioxide Removal Research Group at Heriot Watt University’s Research Centre for Carbon Solutions.

Our carbon capture technology

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

Carbon credits enable the production and sale of products with lower potassium grades that are uneconomical.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 - What are Carbon Credits?

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 activity. Each Carbon Credit represents 1 tonne of CO₂e reduction.

2 - What are Carbon Credits used for?

Carbon Credits are used to offset organizations’ and individuals’ CO₂e emissions. For 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.

3 - How are Verde's Carbon Credits generated?

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.

4 - What constitutes high quality carbon offset projects?

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

5 - What affects prices of carbon credits?

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
