Vancouver-based mining giant Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX:TECK.B) is working with Norden to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Teck’s steelmaking coal supply chain.
The agreement is expected to reduce annual emissions from Teck shipments handled by Norden by 25%, or up to 6,700 tonnes of CO2. That’s equivalent to removing more than 1,400 passenger vehicles from the road, the company says.
Norden emission reductions will come from a range of solutions, including the use of fuel-efficient ships and alternative fuels such as biofuel in combination with advanced data analytics to optimize vessel speed and routing.
