An insight into the ambitious decarbonisation plans of leading cement and building materials producer, Mannok, following the publication of the company’s sustainability strategy, the Mannok 2030 Vision.
This webinar will provide a high-level overview of Mannok’s long-term sustainability strategy with a strong emphasis on how the business will decarbonise its operations and activities over the next decade and beyond.
With a detailed decarbonisation roadmap to the end of this decade already published, Mannok will also provide an insight into its ambitious plans beyond 2030 to help achieve net zero by 2050. Plans will incorporate the use of new and emerging technologies, particularly in the renewables sector, utilising alternative fuels, alternative raw materials, alternative energy, energy efficiency, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage.

[edit] Comment
Commenting on Mannok’s decarbonisation challenge, Paul Monaghan said,
“The very nature of cement production is a carbon intensive process, which categorises it as “hard to abate” emissions. Decarbonisation is the number one challenge for us, but it is essential to the long-term sustainability of the business.
To tackle our emissions and reduce them, we have identified nine key initiatives, which include a range of solutions in areas such as alternative fuels, alternative raw materials, green renewables, carbon capture and alternative waste materials in our downstream products.
I look forward to the Construction Buzz Webinar and sharing more details on these key initiatives.”
As well as decarbonisation, the strategy is centred around three pillars of People, Planet and Partners. Mannok views each pillar as a key to the long-term success of the organisation and ensuring it continues to contribute to the economic, social and environmental prosperity of the Fermanagh Cavan region.
