Alliance Group Carbon Footprint and Roadmap

Alliance Group

Carbon Footprint & Roadmap

First, We Established Their Carbon Footprint and Then We Developed a Carbon Reduction Roadmap

Problem

DETA developed Alliance Group’s first carbon footprint assessment, which identified that the majority of their carbon is associated with coal consumption within their boilers.


Solution

Following an announcement from Alliance in September 2019 that they are seeking to remove coal from their sites by 2030, DETA worked with Alliance to develop their roadmap towards this goal. 


Outcome

The roadmap included feasibility and business case development of fuel switching projects towards both biomass and electricity, and further energy efficiency improvements.
