Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine the many facets of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) production by looking at its raw materials, production processes, techniques for low-temperature production, energy consumption patterns, financial benefits, and the role of various additives in lowering gas emissions. The goals of this research are to learn about the ingredients and production methods used to make WMA, examine novel approaches to making WMA at lower temperatures, analyse the effects of additional additives, analyse the energy consumption patterns and associated economic benefits of making WMA, and learn about the extent to which various additives contribute to the reduction of gas emissions specifically in the production of Warm Mix Asphalt.

Keywords
Additives, Energy consumption, Hot mix asphalt, Sustainable construction, Warm mix asphalt.
