Using lignin for greener asphalt
NCC and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden have commenced collaboration to test the renewable raw material lignin as a binding agent in asphalt. The project is part of the efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and dependence on fossil products.- By replacing fossil raw materials with renewables, we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road construction and maintenance, while also broadening the range of raw materials for our end product. In this project, we see potential to reduce carbon emissions by up to 20 percent for finished asphalt and we are now set to test and
