The Path to Energy Efficiency: Covia’s GHG Emissions Strategy
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
