Helping New Zealand Reduce its Carbon Emissions
Problem
The Energy Transition Accelerator (ETA) Programme is an EECA direct client engagement which assists large energy users in the business sector to develop a stationary energy-related carbon abatement opportunity assessment. EECA require a panel of consultants to aid in the roll forward of the ETA programme.
Solution
DETA is currently working with EECA to roll out several pilot decarbonisation roadmaps for large energy users in New Zealand. To date these include dairy, meat, and health board customers. A recently completed project was for the Alliance Group, the world’s largest sheep meat exporter Alliance Group. Alliance Group sought to understand the best path to remove coal from their production facilities by 2030, create technical projects to be developed, and create an investment pathway to allow clear planning within existing business constraints. DETA worked to understand Alliance’s forward investment plan to understand needs for real energy across the group and built a comprehensive energy model. We reviewed options for decarbonisation, including biomass and electrification conversions, and developed the lowest capital/operating cost plan for the group. The plan rolls from 2020 to 2030, and the group will expend up to $70M over this period utilising the plan.
Outcome
DETA has provided a number of large businesses with carbon roadmaps, contributing to the future reduction in carbon emissions for NZ Inc.
