The deal expands a partnership that began in October 2025. Under the new terms, Verde Renewables becomes a preferred supplier of engineered biochar for use with Ergon\u2019s cold paving emulsion products. The companies plan to launch test projects before the end of 2026, with commercial rollout expanding from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ergon is the largest supplier of asphalt and pavement preservation products in the US. The agreement gives Verde\u2019s biochar technology access to an established commercial network and deep customer relationships across the infrastructure sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis agreement marks Verde\u2019s transition from technology validation into commercial execution,\u201d said Jack Wong, CEO of Verde Resources. He described the goal as building recurring commercial revenue and expanding across multiple material applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Nation, President of Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, said the road construction sector is actively looking for scalable solutions that combine performance and sustainability. \u201cWe believe Verde\u2019s engineered biochar platform has the potential to become an important part of that next-generation materials landscape,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two companies will also share carbon credits generated by their products, adding a carbon removal dimension to the commercial model. International expansion is also on the roadmap, with Singapore identified as a first target market outside the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond cold paving, the partnership aims to explore broader applications in road construction<\/a> and sustainable building materials as adoption grows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
