Energy Alternatives for an Asphalt Production Site

AI Quick Summary

Reducing the CO2 emissions and optimizing the energy consumption in asphalt production.Alternative Energies will help to reduce the CO2 footprint of an asphalt production site. Asphalt production nowadays is mainly driven by the usage of fossil high-density fuels. Asphalt production companies are seeking for alternative solutions to make the production of asphalt much more sustainable. Moreover, the recycling of old asphalt harvested from used roads needs to be considered as well.
