Biofabrik - Bitumen Components
The production of bitumen, the binder in asphalt, generates more than 30 megatons of CO2 per year. By reverse engineering the classical bitumen components and replacing them with natural resources, one of the largest sources of CO2 turns into one of the largest CO2 sinks. While conventional bitumen is based on crude oil and refining residues, which are tied to a huge amount of CO2 emissions, our Biotumen is made from natural resources. The CO2 captured remains permanently in the Biotumen.

Product Details
Thanks to the instant biotumen technology, bitumen production becomes independent from oil refineries.
- According to an independent assessment 1 ton of Biotumen captures up to 1,516 kg of CO2.
- 10x more durable
- In a standardized rutting test Biotumen outperformed the conventional reference material significantly.
Not just that the Bitumen production is one of world’s largest emitters of CO2, conventional bitumen must also be kept hot during transportation and storage within the radius of the refineries. For longer distances, oil drums are used, which often end up as hazardous waste in huge landfills.
The Biotumen production takes place in situ in the mixing drum and at lower temperatures.
The ratio of asphaltenes and maltenes can be set precisely to the intended penetration or softening point.
Areas of Application
Biotumen opens up a wide range of possibilities to help classical industries reduces their CO2 footprint and create longer-lasting products. Here are the most common use cases:
Humanity builds and repairs 36 million kilometers of roads – every year. On top of that comes countless parking lots, public squares and private driveways. With Biotumen all these areas suddenly become CO2 sinks.
Another common use for bitumen is sealing of flat roofs on large office and residential buildings or big factory halls as bitumen is weather-resistant, waterproof and easy to work with.
While you probably have guessed road building or roofing, it’s lesser known that also industrial applications like cars or dishwashers bitumen is used – usually as an insulating and sound-deadening material.
