A solution for cutting carbon dioxide

Current road surfacing in the UK is estimated to cover 25Mm2 a year, giving off 1.3Mt of CO2, while road patching is estimated to cover 9.6Mm2 a year, giving rise to more than 800,000t of CO2. But using ASI Solutions’ Rhinophalt for road resurfacing could save 1.2Mt of emissions each year, and for road patching 625,000t, the study found.
