Road Expo Scotland 2024

On November 27-28, 2024, the Centre of Excellence for Decarbonising Roads (CEDR) team participated in Road Expo Scotland. The event commenced with an address by Fiona Hyslop MSP, who outlined strategies to combat climate change.

Lauren SeBlonka, Innovation Project Manager, delivered a presentation on Project Pothole, which highlighted innovative pothole repair solutions. She provided an overview of recent trials, discussed carbon-related challenges, and noted that repair costs have surpassed £500 million annually.

The event facilitated industry discussions and bolstered relationships for CEDR. Additionally, our team gained valuable insights into the factors contributing to carbon emissions from various presentations. We eagerly anticipate attending the event again in 2025.
