CEVO Asphalt

Why we are developing CEVO

At Roadstone, we are committed to delivering sustainable infrastructure solutions that support Ireland’s climate goals. CEVO represents our next-generation low CO₂ asphalt solution, designed to reduce embodied carbon, enhance circularity and maintain high performance standards.

CEVO Asphalt

Introducing Low CO₂ Asphalt: CEVO

CEVO is Roadstone’s low-carbon asphalt solution, developed through decades of research and innovation at our asphalt R&D facility. CEVO allows for the integration of multiple carbon-reducing technologies into a single, high-performance product. This solution delivers meaningful carbon reductions and supports Ireland’s transition to more sustainable infrastructure, without compromising on quality or durability.

Technologies and Practices

CEVO leverages a suite of technologies and practices that are available and deployable today:

Reclaimed Asphalt Planings (RAP)

Minimises reliance on virgin materials, helping to lower embodied carbon and preserve natural resources.

Warm mix technology

Reduces production temperatures, lowering energy use and emissions.

Sustainable Binder Systems

Renewable bio‑binders replace or reduce conventional bitumen, lowering embodied carbon. Our in‑house developed bio‑rejuvenators are used to restore aged bitumen, enhance performance and enable circular asphalt solutions.

Benefits of CEVO

CO₂ Reduction

CEVO achieves significant embodied CO₂ reduction per square meter of road surface, contributing to lower emissions.

Circular Material Usage

Supporting sustainable resource reuse in infrastructure.

Performance & Durability

CEVO maintains the performance and durability standards expected in road construction projects across Ireland.

Support for Circular Economy

Aligns with Ireland’s circular economy goals by providing practical solutions to reduce carbon emissions.

Availability

Supported by Roadstone’s national supply chain and technical expertise.

Sustainable road construction

Most importantly, CEVO provides a clear pathway to sustainable road construction, one that can be adopted across Ireland today.

Carbon Calculator

CEVO includes access to our Carbon Calculator, allowing clients to compare mix formulations and quantify carbon savings instantly, supporting informed decision making and compliance reporting.

Aligned with Rating System

Low carbon asphalt products are aligned to our rating system, to demonstrate carbon reductions in asphalt mixes. Put simply, an asphalt mix with a rating of C or better is a CEVO low carbon asphalt. We establish the rating of each mix through our carbon footprint calculator and provide the mix specific embodied carbon values via our carbon footprint reports.

What asphalt carbon rating do you want to achieve?

CEVO Low CO₂ Asphalt range is available in four types determined by the CO₂ reductions they achieve. Using our rating system, application type and performance requirements we can tailor our CEVO products to fit your performance needs while also providing a low carbon solution and a rating.

Low-Carbon Roadbuilding Made Practical

From major motorways to local resurfacing projects, CEVO asphalt delivers a smarter, more sustainable solution. Get in touch with Roadstone to discover how we can help you cut carbon and drive progress toward Net Zero.

CO₂ Performance Ladder

As part of our ongoing decarbonisation strategy and in recognition of our commitment to ambitious CO₂ reduction targets we are actively working towards company-wide certification under the CO₂ Performance Ladder.

The CO₂ Performance Ladder is a practical and effective tool that supports organisations in reducing their carbon emissions. It not only helps structure decarbonisation efforts across operations, projects and the supply chain but also offers a competitive advantage in public tenders based on the level of climate ambition demonstrated.
