Small-scale Pavement Footpaths

University of Sydney-Delta Electricity Project (Small scale pavement footpaths) for light load

University of Sydney researchers have successfully poured “green” cement – pavement made from a unique mix of fly ash, and waste materials including ground glass and gaseous carbon dioxide. The trial “eco-pavement” has saved 752kg of sand from being dredged and 327kg of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere, while its production has saved the equivalent energy of 1,000 cups of coffee or driving a car over 1,800km. This case study is the “Upcycling of power plant fly ash into low-carbon engineered eco-pavements”, carried out by the Waste Transformation Hub at the University of Sydney in partnership with Delta Electricity.
