The carbon footprint of a hot-mix asphalt jobsite musts take into account all that revolves around the project: production and transportation of raw materials and energies, production and application of HMA, as well as associated transportation logistics. It is expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e), unit created by the IPPC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) to compare different greenhouse gases impacts in terms of global warming and in order to accumulate their emissions.
Main sources of CO2e around a hot-mix asphalt jobsite
- HMA production
- Bitumen production + transportation
- Aggregates production + transportation
- Fue production + transportation
- Electricity production
- Transportation logistics between asphalt plant and jobsite
- Road milling
- HMA application
Our solutions to decrease CO2e emissions
Extreme mobility
Our extreme mobility concepts that can be set-up as close as possible to jobsites allow for a decrease in transportation logistics of HMA and raw materials from the jobsite, and in associated CO2e emissions.
Recycling
Our recycling technologies allow for the use of up to 100% RAP and allow to decrease raw materials provision (bitumen and aggregates) along with associated CO2e emissions (production and transport).
Eco-energy
Our high energy efficiency solutions and our burners compatible with low-carbon bio-fuels allow for a significant decrease in associated CO2e emissions.
