Shell Bitumen says that its CarbonSink product has been used in France for first time to help decarbonise construction. The CarbonSink material is a bio-component binder that locks carbon within roads instead of releasing it back into the atmosphere. Karp-Kneip Constructions led the project, which used 20tonnes of CarbonSink for the construction of a car park at Brumath Enrobes's asphalt production plant in Bas-Rhin, Alsace. The asphalt for this project was laid by civil construction company, Trabet. Shell Bitumen CarbonSink contains a new biocomponent binder that locks carbon into asphalt and bitumen, turning the road into a technical carbon sink. The high level of asphalt recycling around the world ensures carbon remains locked in the binder, even when it is recycled and re-used in the manufacture of new asphalts or other civil engineering applications. |
