£30m awarded to seven regional decarbonising roads projects

Winning ADEPT Live Labs 2 projects include ‘carbon capturing’ cement and green waste being used to make asphalt

Future roads could be built using asphalt made from grass cuttings and ‘carbon capturing’ cement. These are among the ideas to receive a share of £30m government funding.

Seven projects spread across the UK from Lanarkshire to Devon have been awarded £30m in funding via the Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads competition.
