Asphalt
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what the (a) quantity and (b) type is of fossil fuels used to extract, refine and manufacture each metric tonne of road-quality asphalt used on roads.
- Answer
-
This information is not collected centrally. The Highways Agency has developed a framework for calculating the carbon footprint across all of its operations, including asphalt, and this is being applied this financial year. We have asked the UK Roads Liaison Group to consider what further research and advice will be helpful to local authorities.
