Exciting news from Low Carbon Materials (LCM)! Their innovative solution for net-zero asphalt is now being used for a pilot project underway on a UK motorway, thanks to their collaboration with National Highways!
🛣️ Huge Announcement! Our decarbonisation solution for asphalt was piloted by National Highways on a UK motorway. ✳️ ACLA® is a carbon-negative aggregate that significantly lowers the carbon footprint of asphalt. 🟩 With the support of both Skanska and Tarmac, ACLA® was piloted on the northbound carriageway of the M11 in Essex. 🚧 It has also been incorporated into essential resurfacing and maintenance work between junctions 7-8. 🟢 A test strip of asphalt binder course containing our carbon-negative aggregate was laid last month. 🚙 This signals the first time our solution is being tested on a heavily trafficked motorway and will be subject to the scrutiny of National Highway’s routine monitoring processes. ⚡ Testing of ACLA® was made possible thanks to our partners National Highways, Skanska and Tarmac as part of a Accelerating Low Carbon innovation program hosted by Connected Places Catapult. 🟨 We are proud to receive recognition from National Highways that our solution presents a viable and scalable option for decarbonising the UK’s road network. ⏩ Read more about this milestone here: https://lnkd.in/d7P4wT9Y ⬇️ ACLA® has already been used to decarbonise live road projects across the UK, including at: 🚧 Elvet Hill in Durham, in partnership with Durham County Council and MGL Group. 🚧 Lodge Hill Road in London, in partnership with London Borough of Redbridge and Kenson Highways. 🛎️ Stay tuned for more project announcements very soon! 💬 If you would like to work with us to decarbonise road infrastructure projects, reach out to us today. #SustainableConstruction #LowCarbonMaterials #NetZero #LocalRoads #Decarbonisation
