POET officials have developed a proprietary product using the byproducts of ethanol called Jive Asphalt. Recently the POET product helped the company achieve the World’s third highest Most Innovative Company Award. POET’s Matt Merritt says Jive Asphalt is used on roadways as a modifier and as a rejuvenator.
He says it’s also used as a modifier when conditions are warm to prevent rutting in roads. Merritt says it can also help with recycling old highways.
Merritt says the Jive Asphalt product is one of the answers to battling climate change and that’s something POET is very focused on.
Merritt says POET has the capacity to produce enough JIVE to pave a highway around the world each year.
