Abstract. Pavement engineering that incorporates renewable energy sources and uses sustainable materials has emerged as a promising path toward achieving an environmentally friendly and sustainable transportation infrastructure. An inclusive review of renewable energy applications in pavement engineering and its integration with sustainable materials is presented in this paper. The article examines various renewable energy technologies and their potential integration into pavement construction, maintenance, and operation. The findings of this review contribute to advancing sustainable practices in the transportation infrastructure sector and provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.
