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.

In this article we explore trials, tribulations and solutions.
