Study tour 2: NCC Industry asphalt plant in Södra Sandby is powered by pellets
NCC’s production method NCC Green Asphalt means that asphalt is produced at a lower temperature, using renewable fuels and recycled asphalt masses. This means reduced emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide compared to conventionally produced asphalt. With a high proportion of recycled asphalt and pellet-fuelled asphalt plants, CO2-emissions are reduced by 30 to 60 percent while still meeting the same requirements as conventional asphalt.
During the site visit Jörgen Magnusson, site manager from NCC Industry made a presentation of the production and experience of using pellets in asphalt production. At the conference Linda Löwhagen, technical environmental specialist, at NCC Industry made a presentation about the driving forces behind the conversion from fossil to renewable fuels in asphalt production.
