- India became the first country in the world to produce bio-bitumen commercially for road construction.
- Bio-bitumen is produced from biomass and agricultural waste and serves as an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based bitumen.
- Conventional bitumen is a black, viscous hydrocarbon derived from crude oil and acts as the binding material in roads.
- Bio-bitumen helps reduce fossil fuel dependence and addresses crop residue burning, a major source of air pollution in India.
- The technology was developed and commercialized by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
