Abstract

The chapter delves into the environmental impacts of capital goods in asphalt products, highlighting the significant role of capital goods in the overall environmental performance of asphalt. It discusses the challenges in accurately quantifying the impacts of capital goods and the need for reliable data. The study also emphasizes the importance of including capital goods in Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to gain a more holistic understanding of the environmental footprint of asphalt products. The chapter provides a detailed methodology for analyzing capital goods data in LCAs and presents the results of a case study on asphalt. It concludes by highlighting the data gaps and uncertainties in existing LCI databases and the need for further research and standardization in the inclusion of capital goods in LCAs.
