NG2B (Standardisation of Aggregates for Biosourced Concrete)

LA GUILDE SABLE VERT is an association set up in 1996, one of whose aims is to support the deployment of biosourced mortars and concretes in their various applications.

An initiative of Guilde Sable Vert

Overview of the project

The NG2B project aims to standardise the plant-based aggregates used in biosourced concrete. In the absence of a standards framework, it is proposing a common benchmark based on technical and environmental data. A pre-standard has been drawn up, and an experimental standard is underway.

Objective

Creating a shared reference system for plant-based aggregates for biosourced concrete.

Level of progress

Ongoing research

Project timeline

26/02/21 - 08/11/2024

Quantitative results

At this stage, it is not possible to quantify the results obtained.

Qualitative results

The programme has defined a reference system for characterising plant-based aggregates, which will form the basis of a future European standard. The aim is to facilitate the use of biosourced concretes, which reduce emissions and improve summer comfort.

Guilde Sable Vert, founded in 1996, supports the development of biosourced mortars and concretes. Bringing together researchers, manufacturers, contractors and project managers, it supports ambitious projects such as NG2B, dedicated to standardising the plant particles used in these materials.
