In Iowa, for example, scientists are making a corn-based bioasphalt from residue left after the production of ethanol. With the waste cooking oil technology, we can reduce the cost of asphalt binder to under $200 per ton, making road building much cheaper. Only in the last decade has the green asphalt industry started coming together.
