Long-term performance and climate impact of asphalt mixtures with bio-binder : Laboratory study and life-cycle analysis (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bioasfalt med biobindemedel, där ett förnybart bindemedel delvis ersätter petroleumbitumen, är en lovande lösning för att minska asfaltbranschens fossilberoende och klimatpåverkan. Denna studie har undersökt hur ett förnybart bindemedel påverkar asfaltmassors långsiktiga egenskaper och klimatavtryck. Studien fokuserade på biobindemedel innehållande talloljebeck och ett polymermodifierat bitumen (PMB) med biogen komponent som alternativ till konventionella bituminösa bindemedel. Metoderna i denna studie omfattar laboratorieprovningar av bindemedel och asfaltmassor, inklusive åldring, reologi, utmattning, sprickmotstånd och vattenkänslighet. En livscykelanalys har genomförts också för att bedöma klimatpåverkan från råvaruutvinning till beläggning (byggskedet, livscykelfaser A1-A5 enligt europeiska standarder för hållbarhet hos byggnadsverk), med särskild hänsyn till biogen koldioxid (del av livscykelfaser C/D enligt de europeiska standarderna). Resultaten visar att biobindemedel med talloljebeck uppfyller tekniska krav för bituminösa bindemedel. Vid högre blandningsgrad av talloljebeck kan dock sprödhet och minskat utmattningsmotstånd hos asfaltmassa uppstå vid låga temperaturer efter åldring. PMB med biogen komponent visade god prestanda. Livscykelanalysen visar att biobindemedel marginellt ökar fossil Global Warming Potential, men redovisning av biogen koldioxid enligt en alternativ metod kunde halvera den totala klimatpåverkan. Denna studie visar att biobindemedel har potential att bidra till mer hållbara asfaltbeläggningar. För fortsatt utveckling rekommenderas fullskaliga försök, samt vidare forskning kring åldring, återanvändning, alternativt vidhäftningsmedel och standardisering av klimatredovisning för biogena material i asfalt.

Abstract [en]

Bio-asphalt with bio-extended bituminous binder, where a renewable binder partially replaces petroleum bitumen, is a promising solution to reduce the asphalt industry’s fossil dependence and climate impact. This study has investigated how a bio-binder affects the long-term performance and climate impact of asphalt mixtures. The study focused on bio-extended bituminous binders containing Tall Oil Pitch (TOP) and a polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) with a biogenic component as alternatives to conventional bituminous binders. The methods in this study include laboratory testing of binders and asphalt mixtures, such as ageing, rheology, fatigue, cracking resistance and water sensitivity. A life cycle assessment (LCA) has also been carried out to assess the climate impact from raw material extraction to pavement (construction stage, life cycle phases A1-A5 according to European standards for sustainability of construction works), with a special consideration of biogenic carbon (part of life cycle phases C/D according to the European standards). The results show that bio[1]extended binders with TOP meet technical requirements for bituminous binders. However, at a higher TOP content, brittleness and reduced fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures can occur at low temperatures after ageing. The PMB with a biogenic component showed good performance. The LCA shows that bio-extended binders marginally increase the fossil Global Warming Potential, but biogenic carbon accounting according to an alternative method could halve the total climate impact. This study shows that bio-extended binders have the potential to contribute to more sustainable asphalt pavements. For continued development, full-scale trials are recommended, as well as further research on ageing, reuse, alternative adhesion promoter and standardisation of climate accounting for biogenic materials in asphalt.
