Core offering

Asphalt-IQ Ltd develops and sells a carbon management software platform for road construction and surfacing projects, anchored by its proprietary Smart A-Tag physical tag that is embedded into asphalt prior to compaction to capture and store production, surfacing, and carbon footprint data directly in the road. The suite includes the Carbon-IQ carbon calculator, RoadVault-IQ data management solution, Custom Build tailored solutions, and the Planing-IQ mobile app for carbon calculations on planing operations.

Product overview

ASPHALT-IQ LIMITED offers a platform-plus-modules architecture for carbon management in road construction and surfacing. The core offering is the Smart A-Tag technology, a physical tag embedded in asphalt that stores and transmits production and carbon data. This is supported by three software solutions: Carbon-IQ (the primary carbon calculator and management platform), RoadVault-IQ (data storage and retrieval), and Custom Build (specialist/tailored solutions). The company also offers the Planing-IQ Carbon Calculations App. The software suite is designed by the asphalt industry for the asphalt industry, targeting local/national road authorities, asphalt producers, surfacing contractors, and specialist contractors.

Broad incumbents

• Watershed: Enterprise carbon accounting platform used by large companies to measure and reduce emissions. Adjacent in serving carbon data and disclosure needs, though focused on corporate-level rather than project-level infrastructure carbon.
• Sphera: Enterprise sustainability and LCA software platform serving multiple industries with carbon footprinting and ESG reporting. Broader incumbent offering overlapping functionality but covering construction as one of many verticals.
• Persefoni: Climate management and carbon accounting platform for enterprises, supporting GHG inventories and climate disclosures. Comparable in providing software for carbon measurement but operates at the enterprise rather than infrastructure-project level.
• Bentley Systems (iTwin): Major infrastructure engineering software vendor offering digital twin and asset management platforms for roads and highways. Broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities in infrastructure data management, though not specialized in carbon.

Direct peers

• Briq: Construction industry carbon and cost management platform targeting contractors with carbon tracking, forecasting, and project-level analytics. Directly comparable SaaS model serving the same contractor and project-management workflows.
• One Click LCA: Construction and infrastructure lifecycle assessment software providing carbon calculations for buildings and infrastructure projects. Closely comparable product offering and customer overlap with infrastructure contractors and developers.
• Building Transparency (EC3): Non-profit publisher of the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3), a free tool for assessing embodied carbon in construction materials. Comparable in scope of providing construction-material carbon data and standards alignment.

Regional players

• CarbonCure Technologies: Canada-based carbon management technology for the concrete industry, enabling producers to reduce and track embodied carbon. Comparable in embedding carbon tracking into construction materials supply chain, though focused on concrete rather than asphalt.

Emerging players

• RoadBotics (Michelin): AI-based pavement condition assessment platform that captures and analyzes road surface data using computer vision. Comparable in capturing and storing data about road infrastructure assets, intersecting with the Smart A-Tag concept of physical-data integration.
• eTool LCA: Life cycle assessment software for the built environment, providing carbon calculations across building materials and construction projects. Comparable in delivering project-level carbon footprinting for construction professionals.
