Europe is electrifying its vehicles while the roads beneath them remain almost entirely fossil-dependent. A pilot scheme in northern Spain shows that bio-based binders can cut bitumen’s carbon footprint by up to 75%. But can Europe source these materials without depleting the ecosystems that supply them? “In the bioeconomy, the limit is the forest,” warns Martin Pigeon […]
How can Europe make its transport infrastructure more sustainable — not just in design, but also in how it’s procured and maintained? In the latest LIAISON interview video, Lorcan Connolly from Research Driven Solutions (RDS) introduces the Dynamic Multi-Infrastructure Governance Framework (DMGF) — a key innovation helping transport owners and operators to understand and demonstrate […]
“Decarbonisation is the glue that holds everything together,” says David Garcia Sanchez, Principal Investigator at Tecnalia and coordinator of the LIAISON project. “But decarbonisation is not just a concept – it has to be translated into practical, technical solutions that infrastructure managers can really use.” In this in-depth interview, David shares how LIAISON is driving […]
The world’s first photovoltaic guardrail might turn roads and highways into energy sources. Developed to enhance sustainability, this groundbreaking innovation could help decarbonize Europe’s transport infrastructure. Yet, experts warn: “For such solutions to become reality, we need more opportunities to implement our innovative approaches” by Diego Giuliani If in a few months you happen to […]
