Tarmac had launched a carbon calculator designed to be used with its CEVO Asphalts solution, which uses plant-based bio binders, warm mix technologies and higher levels of recycled asphalt planings (RAP) to deliver a lower-carbon product.
For each mix, the tool provides carbon savings compared with a traditional hot-mix asphalt up to the point that the product leaves the asphalt plant. Users can select a bio-binder version to see further carbon reductions if applicable. Figures are based on Tarmac’s internal data, using industry-recognised asPECT methodology developed by National Highways, verified by Tarmac’s carbon experts.
The CEVO Asphalts carbon calculator generates a downloadable certificate, showing the carbon footprint of the material, carbon savings, the date of calculation and methodology used – all of which can be used to demonstrate sustainability in tenders, highlight potential for further carbon savings, and help contractors with their Scope 3 emissions reporting, Tarmac said.
