A pair of Canadian cement plants have been recognized for their energy efficiency efforts. Heidelberg Materials North America’s facilities in Delta, B.C., and Edmonton have earned Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan’s) Energy Star for Industry certification, which signifies that the facility performs in the top quartile of similar facilities in Canada and the United States for energy efficiency.
“We are pleased to accept the Energy Star for Industry certification in recognition of our energy efficiency efforts at our Edmonton and Delta cement plants in Canada,” said Oliver Patsch, president of Heidelberg Materials North America’s Northwest Region. “Energy efficiency is a key part of our commitment to operational excellence and also helps lower our overall environmental footprint.”
The certification is reflective of Heidelberg Materials’ efforts to improve its energy performance by managing energy strategically across its entire organization, which the company says is a target as it aims to protect the climate, preserve resources, reduce emissions and have the lowest possible impact on the environment at its production facilities.
