Ulaanbaatar, November 6, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Mongolia has officially launched a project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing polymer-enhanced warm asphalt concrete mixtures.
In line with its national target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, the Government of the Republic of Korea is developing a project titled “Feasibility Study on International Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction in the Land Infrastructure, Roads, and Transportation Sector by 2025.”
Within this framework, the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), a primary government-funded research institute in South Korea for construction technology, held the “Feasibility Study Kick-off for the Mongolia-Korea International Road Construction Material Emission Reduction Project” on November 4, 2025. The study focuses on evaluating the feasibility of producing advanced warm asphalt in Mongolia and determining how effectively this technology can be adapted to the country’s road conditions.
Researchers will also examine the current state of equipment used for producing warm asphalt concrete mixtures in Mongolia. Experts noted that following the completion of the feasibility study, the project proceeds to full-scale implementation.
