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.
Creating a shared reference system for plant-based aggregates for biosourced concrete.
Ongoing research
26/02/21 - 08/11/2024
At this stage, it is not possible to quantify the results obtained.
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.
