Crushed Rock Quarry
Energy Awareness
The journey to carbon and energy reduction in a crushed rock quarry starts with raising awareness. It is essential to have all staff on board in any drive to reduce emissions and to ensure that everyone understands why the scheme is important. Energy efficiency saves money, reduces carbon emissions and is increasingly important to customers, regulators and other industry contacts.
On a practical level, most staff are involved in turning on and off appliances and equipment - a critical element in any carbon reduction scheme. Taking a broader perspective, it can also prove beneficial and productive to engage all stakeholders, including customers, suppliers and investors, to help achieve carbon reduction goals.
This stage of the journey raises awareness of the importance of, and reason for, reducing carbon emissions on site. Resources include various Toolbox Talks and How-To Guides which increase awareness and advise how to identify and implement measures to reduce energy use and carbon emissions. Opportunities exist across the range of fixed and mobile plant in every limestone, igneous and sandstone quarry.

The journey to carbon and energy reduction in an asphalt plant starts with raising awareness. It is essential to have all staff on board in any drive to reduce emissions and to ensure that everyone understands why the scheme is important. Energy efficiency saves money, reduces carbon emissions and is increasingly important to customers, regulators and other industry contacts. Asphalt plants have the highest relative energy use in the aggregates sector, providing significant opportunities for energy reduction through, for example, more effective burner optimization and insulation.
