Carbon footprint measurement and reduction
City Rail Link aims to set the benchmark for delivering sustainable infrastructure in New Zealand. The project has established a carbon foot printing programme on its first two contract packages to identify opportunities and actions for reducing energy emissions. From replacing diesel generators with grid-connected transformers to training haulage drivers in fuel-efficient techniques, CRL’s initiatives are expected to reduce energy emissions by over 2,000 tonnes – a 29% reduction project is on target to achieve its goals, while also reducing costs and saving time.
