The Centre and Connected Places Catapult complete international market scan

As part of the Centre's partnership with Connected Places Catapult (CPC), we have recently completed an international market scan of leading low-carbon materials across the globe. The report, written by CPC, details some of the emerging themes and routes for decarbonisation of road materials, and the identified innovations will be considered in our material selection process.

Challenges in Decarbonising Winter Road Maintenance

Although the Centre of Excellence is focused primarily on decarbonising materials, as part of ADEPT Live Labs 2: Decarbonising Local Roads in the UK is a three-year, UK-wide £30 million programme funded by the Department for Transport that aims to decarbonise the local highway network, local authorities (LAs) are tasked with decarbonising road maintenance through a holistic lens, including methods, plant, fleet and materials. There is no case where this is truer than with winter road maintenance, where positive change comes less from material switches and more from service optimisation. In this article we explore trials, tribulations and solutions.
