time2022/10/27

D&G Machinery offers a variety of innovative solutions for increasing sustainability in asphalt production.
Working more efficiently with sustainable and economical technologies is the challenge of today and tomorrow. Solutions from D&G Machinery lower emissions and secure the future of asphalt mixing plant sites.
D&G Machinery offers a variety of innovative solutions for increasing sustainability in asphalt production. Considering the entire road construction process from material acquisition and asphalt production to building the roads, companies can save up to 54 % CO₂ with these technologies. 
The intelligent D&G Machinery solutions include the re-use of asphalt, the correct storage of virgin mineral and recycling material, the use of temperature-reduced asphalt, the electrification of bitumen tanks and the use of renewable energies, i.e. the fuels of the future.
Energy-efficient working while protecting resources
Sustainable operations and reduced climate-damaging emissions are the current challenges for counteracting climate change. The 2015 Paris Climate Accords, for example, require greenhouse emissions to be halved by 2030 and eliminated completely by 2050. Despite being a relatively small sector, the asphalt industry can make an important contribution to this, because asphalt production offers great potentials for reducing emissions such as CO₂.
One of the control instruments for owners of mixing plants is the taxation of emitted CO₂ and emissions trading, the costs of which will increase worldwide in the years to come. The less greenhouse gases are emitted by asphalt mixing plants, the more costs can be saved. D&G Machinery supports plant owners with a variety of different solutions.
