CEMEX want to help their clients to specify lower carbon asphalt solutions. With the launch of VIALOW, CEMEX aims to make it simple for clients to choose asphalts with a lower embodied carbon, offset residual emissions and help drive vital change.

VIALOW can achieve up to a 20% reduction in embodied carbon emissions when comparing against standard conventional mixes.
The remaining unavoidable emissions can be offset if you select CEMEX's VIALOW zero option where they work with Natural Capital Partners, a carbon offset and carbon neutrality specialist.
CEMEX's offsets are verified by the Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and include projects focusing on the planting of trees.
VIALOW is available in all Asphalt Concrete Base, Binder and Surface courses as well as Hot Rolled Asphalt (only where pre coated chippings are not required), Stone Mastic Asphalt and their full proprietary range.

VIALOW Carbon Neutral asphalt
CEMEX's purpose is to build a better future, and they believe asphalt is an essential part of our country’s infrastructure.
However, they also recognise that future construction needs to be balanced with the effect it is having on the environment. It is for this reason that carbon reduction is at the heart of the government’s construction strategy as it works to move the country to a low-carbon economy by 2050.
