Greater Transparency and Options: CarbonCure’s High-Quality Credits With an Enhanced Methodology

Corporate sustainability leaders face mounting pressure to meet ambitious climate goals while navigating the complexities of carbon credit markets. That’s why transparency, precision and integrity are non-negotiables when it comes to choosing carbon credits. Verra’s recently updated Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Methodology VM0043 for CO₂ Utilization in Concrete Production—championed by CarbonCure—offers an exciting development for buyers seeking trusted, impactful climate solutions.

What This Means for You as a Carbon Credit Buyer
The revised methodology introduces several enhancements that benefit corporate buyers by providing:

• Expanded Scope and Volume: With the updated methodology now including precast concrete producers alongside ready mix partners, the availability of CarbonCure credits in the voluntary carbon market will get a big boost. This means more high-quality options to meet your climate targets.
• Verified Integrity: Enhanced emissions calculations ensure every CarbonCure credit reflects real, measurable climate benefits, giving you confidence in the impact of your investment.
• Transparency and Differentiation: Buyers can now clearly differentiate between carbon dioxide removals and GHG emission reductions within CarbonCure’s credit program. This enables you to align your purchases more closely with your corporate sustainability strategy, whether focused on catalyzing new removal pathways, scaling proven solutions to reduce emissions in your value chain, or simply meeting net-zero targets.

“These updates further strengthen the integrity and value of CarbonCure carbon credits,” said Robert Niven, founder and CEO of CarbonCure. “For buyers, it means more options and added confidence that their purchases are driving measurable climate impacts while supporting innovative solutions in a hard-to-decarbonize industry.”

How CarbonCure Technologies Can Support Your Climate Goals
CarbonCure’s technologies work by injecting captured CO₂ into ready mix and precast concrete, where it mineralizes and becomes permanently embedded in the material. This process reduces the amount of carbon-intensive cement needed, cutting emissions while maintaining or even improving material strength. With its robust methodology, CarbonCure’s climate benefits are precisely quantified, ensuring that every credit meets the high standards required by today’s corporate climate leaders.

Driving Climate Innovation in Hard-to-Decarbonize Industries
By choosing CarbonCure credits, you’re not just reducing your carbon footprint—you’re also supporting innovation in one of the world’s hardest-to-decarbonize sectors: construction. Revenue from carbon credit sales incentivizes concrete producers to adopt CarbonCure’s technologies, accelerating the transition to a more sustainable built environment. In fact, over the past three years, CarbonCure has shared more than $4.9 million in credit revenue with our ready mix partners, and this incentive now extends to precast producers, further driving adoption and impact.

The Bottom Line
Verra’s updated methodology offers corporate credit buyers like you more options, greater transparency and unmatched confidence in the quality and tangible impact of your purchases. With CarbonCure credits, you can reduce your embodied carbon footprint, support sustainable innovation and demonstrate measurable progress in the race to stabilize our planet.
