IIT Roorkee Bio-Bitumen Road Trial has been proposed to promote environmentally sustainable road construction in Karnataka. An IIT Roorkee professor has proposed a pilot project to test bio-bitumen for road construction in Karnataka. Bio-bitumen is a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based bitumen and is produced using renewable biological materials. The proposed trial aims to evaluate durability, environmental benefits, and long-term performance under Indian weather conditions. Researchers believe the technology can reduce carbon emissions, lower dependence on fossil fuels, and support greener infrastructure development. If successful, bio-bitumen could become an important innovation for sustainable road construction across India. The proposal also highlights the growing role of research institutions in developing eco-friendly engineering solutions for public infrastructure.
