CarbonCure Concrete CO₂ Mineralization Carbon Project (USA)
Retire verified Verra (VCS) carbon credits from this project to compensate measured emissions.
This page is for companies looking to retire verified Verra (VCS) credits from a permanent, industrial carbon project. CarbonCure Technologies injects captured CO₂ into fresh concrete, where it mineralises permanently. Evertreen acts as an intermediary: we source and retire credits on your behalf and do not own or operate the project. One credit (VCU) = one tonne of CO₂e, an independently verified estimate.

Who this project is for
Sustainability and procurement leads who want permanent, low-reversal-risk industrial carbon credits as a tonal complement to nature-based projects.
What CarbonCure is
CarbonCure's technology injects captured CO₂ into fresh concrete during mixing, where it reacts with calcium ions and mineralises permanently as calcium carbonate — also allowing producers to use less cement (the most carbon-intensive ingredient). The CO₂ is locked into the built environment with very low reversal risk. The credits are issued across participating ready-mix concrete producers under Verra's VM0043 methodology for CO₂ utilisation in concrete.
What a carbon credit from this project represents
One credit (VCU) = one tonne of CO₂e. A Verified Carbon Unit represents one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent removed or avoided, independently verified under the Verified Carbon Standard administered by Verra. CO₂ figures are estimates based on the project’s methodology, not exact measurements.
How it is certified and tracked
CarbonCure's project is registered under Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS 3207) using methodology VM0043 for CO₂ utilisation in concrete. Each issued credit (VCU) carries a unique serial number and is retired in the Verra Registry when claimed. (Confirm the project’s current status, methodology and vintage on the Verra Registry — VCS 3207 before purchase.)
How double counting is prevented
Each credit (VCU) has a unique serial number and is retired only once in the Verra Registry when it is claimed, so the same tonne of CO₂e cannot be sold or counted twice.
Why this is a high-quality carbon project
- Registered under Verra's VCS using methodology VM0043
- Permanent mineral storage — CO₂ locked into concrete with very low reversal risk
- Also reduces cement use (the most carbon-intensive ingredient)
- Among the first industrial CO₂-utilisation projects under Verra
- Verifiable, engineered measurement at participating plants
Evertreen’s role
Evertreen acts as an intermediary for this project. We source Verra (VCS) credits from CarbonCure and retire them on your behalf. Evertreen does not own or operate the project. Credits are independently verified estimates of CO₂e and complement — they do not replace — reducing your own emissions.
What your company can claim
After Evertreen retires CarbonCure credits on your behalf, your organisation can state that it has retired verified Verra (VCS) carbon credits to compensate a measured quantity of CO₂e, supported by the retirement documentation we provide. We do not overstate permanence or additionality, and present credits as a complement to cutting your own emissions.
Frequently asked questions
What is a carbon credit?
A verified carbon credit (a Verified Carbon Unit, or VCU) represents one tonne of CO₂e reduced or removed. Retiring it lets you compensate a measured quantity of your emissions. Credits are estimates based on an approved methodology.
Is CarbonCure verified under the Verra VCS?
Yes — registered under Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS 3207) using the concrete CO₂-utilisation methodology VM0043.
How is it verified and is double counting prevented?
It is independently verified under the Verified Carbon Standard administered by Verra. Each credit (VCU) has a unique serial number and is retired once in the Verra Registry when claimed, so the same tonne can’t be counted twice.
What can my company claim after retirement?
That it retired verified Verra (VCS) carbon credits to compensate measured CO₂e, supported by the retirement documentation we provide. Credits complement, and do not replace, reducing your own emissions.
Does Evertreen own the project?
No. The technology and project are operated by CarbonCure Technologies with concrete producers. Evertreen is an intermediary that sources and retires the credits on your behalf.
What are the co-benefits?
Reduced cement use (lower embodied carbon in the built environment) and a durable, verifiable storage pathway that does not depend on land.
Retire CarbonCure credits. Tell us the tonnes of CO₂e you need to compensate and Evertreen will source and retire Verra (VCS) credits on your behalf.
