Tatua Carbon Footprint

Tatua

Carbon Footprint

Kickstarted Their Carbon Reduction Journey

Problem

Tatua was in need of a baseline carbon footprint.


Solution

DETA worked with Tatua staff to determine the Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions of their present operation. We then used this assessment as the springboard for identifying potential ways to reduce emissions, particularly through carbon management mechanisms and fuel switching opportunities.


Outcome

At the conclusion of the study we facilitated a carbon strategy workshop, with a good cross section of Tatua staff present, to talk through the findings and hammer out the implications of what it could mean for Tatua’s decarbonisation aspirations. The resulting report is a key resource that Tatua is now using to help develop and refine their roadmap going forward.
