Specific research RS-1's objective concerns the evaluation of the effect of the production of warm mix asphalt on plants. The project concerns an update of the knowledge in the domain, especially considering the various types of asphalt plants and the impacts of the production of warm mix asphalt on plants. The circulation of a questionnaire will be done, this in order to identify the needs from the asphalt plant owners. Another phase is dedicated to the measurements made on the asphalt plant. These measurements will be analysed and compared with the legislation applied in Switzerland and European Union and with databases about ecological impacts of materials. Considerations related to the energy flow during the production of warm mix asphalt in comparison with hot mix asphalt will be also made. Technical aspects related to the production of warm mix asphalt will be focused: what do we have to modify if we want to produce WMA? A comprehensive methodology for a cost benefit analysis will be proposed in order to analyse if the production of WMA is profitable for asphalt plants. Conclusions and recommendations will be provided and a best practice (or BAT) guideline document will be proposed.
