Trial Protocols
This document acts as a guide for future trials lead by the Centre of Excellence, highlighting how a ‘gold standard’ trial would be conducted to provide valuable and feasible data to the local roads sector. This will also act as a guide for wider trials led by local authorities across the UK, enabling them to collate and collect data consistent with our own. Creating valid, harmonious carbon data across the network.

CPC Future Foresights
This report, a collaborative effort between Connected Places Catapult and a consortium led by Transport for West Midlands, North Lanarkshire Council, Amey, and Colas, aims to empower local authorities to plan and implement strategies for decarbonising road infrastructure by addressing the external drivers accelerating low carbon materials innovation. This involves identifying, trialling, and procuring novel materials to replace carbon–intensive ones. The contents of this report aims to de–risk decision–making, align stakeholders with a shared understanding of anticipated events, and provide a foundation for the development of shared strategies.

Innovation Log
Road maintenance has long depended on carbon-intensive materials, making sustainability a pressing challenge. At the Centre of Excellence for Decarbonising Roads, part of ADEPT Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads, a three year, UK-wide, £30 million programme funded by the Department for Transport (DfT) that aims to decarbonise the local highway network, we’re driving change by identifying and championing low-carbon alternatives. One of our key tools in this mission is the Innovation Log – a curated, market-sourced database that empowers local authorities to identify, trial, and adopt low-carbon materials easily. We are excited to share this part of our innovation process, giving local authorities direct access to a resource that supports the selection of the most promising materials for trial and evaluation. Take a look behind the scenes at the tool that is shaping the future of sustainable roads.
