Asphalt: Bio-based Products – Miscancell NABi
Natural Asphalt Binder (NABi) ultilses lignin derived from miscanthus grass as a bio-based based part replacement for bitumen in asphalt. Lignin, specifically from miscanthus grass is proven to improve bitumen's stiffness, rutting resistance and aging resistance.
As a carbon negative product NABi contributes significantly towards improving asphalt performance and reducing asphalt CO2e.
Profiled case studies demonstrate successful applications using NABi for major infrastructure projects including arterial roads, intersections and roading networks within an industrial park.
Miscancell NABi case studies
-
Roundabout, and roading Infrastructure for H20 Business Park - NABi, Municipality Assen and Hatten, Netherlands
NABi has been used for two major projects a roundabout in the city of Assen and for over 10 square kilometres of roading infrastructure for the H20 Business Park in Hatten. These projects demonstrate that NABi binder is not an ‘experimental’ solution for major infrastructure, it is increasingly becoming a mainstream requirement for projects where both a sustainable and a high-performance asphalt is required.

Revitalisation of access roads - NABi, Municipality Arnhem, Netherlands
NABi provided a sustainable solution for the revitalisation of access roads into an industrial area adjacent to the Rhine, in the Arnhem district of Netherlands. This case study is significant as it profiles a large laydown of 30,500m2 of asphalt using NABi. An international attestation to the success of NABi as an enabler of sustainable high-performance pavements.
