Methods for Reducing Energy Consumption and Carbon Emission in Asphalt Pavement Construction

Abstract:

In the construction process of asphalt pavement, mixing is the process which brings most of carbon emission. There is huge potential advancement of energy conservation, emission reduction and consumption reduction in the construction of asphalt pavement. Research on the structure improvement of construction equipment, the optimizing of the construction technological process and the influence of mixture performance and parameters is necessary. It is feasible to conduct interdisciplinary research in the condition that construction quality is ensured. There needs excellent control technology on efficient paving, efficient compaction and appropriate equipment match and temperature segregation of mixture. By doing this, the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction in the construction process of hot-mix asphalt mixture can be achieved.
