The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) recently announced the asphalt pavement industry’s plan to join other industries and sectors around the world in curbing climate change.
The association’s research and implementation roadmap—The Road Forward: A Vision for Net Zero Carbon Emissions for the Asphalt Pavement Industry—calls on the U.S. asphalt community to advance technologies, products, and processes to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“This is one mission and one vision for the entire industry to point us where we need to go to proactively lower emissions and accelerate beyond the industry’s past efforts in environmental stewardship and sustainability,” NAPA Vice President for Engineering, Research, & Technology J. Richard Willis, Ph.D., said in a statement.
