NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2025 / Covia is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing energy efficiency across our operations. In recent years, we integrated data-driven analysis into our strategy, utilizing comprehensive GHG emissions assessments to pinpoint significant climate-related opportunities and risks.
Since 2021, we have implemented several solutions and undertaken initiatives to reduce emissions, including:
Piloting high-efficiency burners and installing new dryers
Participating in voluntary curtailment programs
Housing equipment in heated areas to limit fuel usage by minimizing temperature fluctuations
Upgrading lighting to high-efficiency LED bulbs that run on timers
Replacing aging and inefficient compressors
Insulating maintenance buildings to reduce the amount of energy required for heating and cooling
Participating in power purchase agreements and using renewable energy, where possible
In addition to these initiatives, we engaged a consultant to help us establish a decarbonization roadmap. We are implementing the highest-potential strategies to meet our emissions reduction goals.
As a result of this assessment, identified strategies we are pursuing include:
Building carbon integration into capital planning to activate site-level decarbonization activities
Considering on-site renewable energy at strategic sites
Evaluating fuel switching for lower-carbon alternatives at key sites
Leveraging advanced process-control systems to maximize efficiency in each phase of the mining process
Upgrading and replacing energy-intensive equipment with low-carbon alternatives
Improving transportation efficiencies for raw materials and finished goods
