Globalworldwide technology map
Map every material
We mapped the materials used in bio asphalt, from feedstocks to emerging startup technologies.
Case Study · Technology Scouting
Finding renewable routes to asphalt.
A building materials manufacturer wanted to replace oil in asphalt with renewable materials. We mapped bio asphalt technologies worldwide, tested them with experts and named the most promising partners.
The Client
The client is a building materials manufacturer. It wanted renewable materials that could create or supplement asphalt for road and roofing uses.
The Challenge
Oil-based asphalt.
Find a renewable path.
Prescouter was asked to identify renewable bio asphalt technologies and feedstocks that could replace or supplement oil in asphalt for road and roofing applications, as regulations and incentives push toward sustainability.
-
Feedstocks
Renewable feedstocks
Which materials can substitute for oil.
-
Performance
Performance and cost
Balancing durability, cost and supply.
-
Entry
Market entry
Finding a way into bio asphalt.
Our Approach
Narrowing the field through a top-down materials map.
Expert review
2rounds of research
Test with experts
Experts weighed each option on performance, cost and availability before a deeper technical look.
Target outreach
3targets identified
Verify the leaders
More expert input and outreach confirmed the research and the strongest targets.
The Outcome
Three targets for a greener membrane.
Prescouter gave the client a full view of the bio asphalt market and narrowed it to the technologies of greatest interest. By the end of the project, the team identified 3 priority partnership targets for the client.
