Fletcher Building’s Post

Golden Bay is helping us lay the foundation for a sustainable future with their innovative journey towards decarbonisation at their Portland plant in Northland, New Zealand, where nothing is off the table in the search for alternative fuels. By replacing coal with alternative fuels like used tyres, expired Covid-19 tests, and wood waste, Golden Bay's efforts are diverting over 100,000 tonnes of waste annually (including 8 million car tyres since 2021!) and transforming it into essential building materials. Golden Bay is on track to displace more than 70% of coal use in the next six months, aiming for a remarkable 95% by 2030. Their key achievements include: ✅ 60% alternative fuel use, aiming for 95% by 2030 ✅ Producing EcoSure cement, NZ’s lowest carbon cement ✅ A fully circular process turning waste into the foundation of NZ’s infrastructure ✅ Investment in cutting-edge technologies like a $200m fuel system and high-powered shredders We are very proud of Golden Bay's efforts, which are not just groundbreaking for New Zealand, but also surpassing international targets - putting Golden Bay among the top global leaders in sustainable cement production. While decarbonisation is complex, we remain committed to bold innovation and collaboration to reduce emissions and address climate challenges, and working alongside Golden Bay who is leading the way toward a greener tomorrow.   Find out more about Golden Bay's quest to be coal-free in this article from Business Desk 👇👇👇 (article is via subscription) #Sustainability #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction #CoalFree #FletcherBuilding #GoldenBay #Business
