Abstract

The chapter delves into the evaluation and documentation of greenhouse gas emissions in flexible pavements, emphasizing production and reduction methods. It aligns with the United States Federal Government's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, as outlined in Presidential Executive Order 14057. The study focuses on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of flexible pavements, including material production, construction, maintenance and repair (M&R), and end-of-life stages. It synthesizes published data to establish baseline CO2 emissions and explores potential reduction strategies, such as using recycled asphalt pavement, crumb rubber, and warm mix asphalt additives. The chapter also highlights the importance of intelligent compaction and subgrade stabilization in reducing emissions. By providing a thorough analysis of GHG emissions and practical reduction strategies, this chapter offers valuable insights for professionals aiming to enhance the sustainability of infrastructure projects.
