About Global Emissionairy

Pavement organizations partner with Global Emissionairy (GE) to earn carbon credits for recycling pavement with cold in place recycling (CIR), cold central plant recycling (CCPR), and full depth reclamation (FDR) using reclaimed aggregate pavement (RAP), asphalt emulsions, and foam stabilized asphalt base (FSAB).

Background

The transportation sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States (EPA 2020). Among these emissions, Global Emissionairy aims to reduce the CO2 emissions released during the procurement and installation of materials. To do this, Global Emissionairy incentivizes organizations with carbon credits to use recycled materials and sustainable installation methods.

Process

Global Emissionairy quantifies carbon emission reductions in a cradle-to-installation life cycle analysis (LCA) using its first-in-industry, Verra-approved methodology (VM0039) and PaveNext app. Global Emissionairy compares the carbon emissions released in sustainable projects with the carbon emissions released in structurally equivalent, baseline, hot-mix projects. The comparison considers the procurement, production, transportation, and installation of materials. Global Emissionairy uses its patented process (US 10,870,953 B2) to convert these reductions into carbon credits (VCUs) which can be banked or sold on the voluntary carbon market.
