Paper Summary

The science study compared regular asphalt with a new type made by mixing asphalt with bio-material from pig waste. They looked at how both affect global warming and energy use. They checked from the beginning to when the asphalt is made. The results show that mixing in the bio-material helps save energy and decreases global warming impact.
