Teck Resources (TECK) & Oldendorff Ink Deal to Lower Emissions
Read MoreHide Full Article
Teck Resources Limited (TECK - Free Report) announced that it has signed an agreement with Oldendorff Carriers GmbH & Co. KG to deploy wind propulsion in Teck's supply chain to further minimize CO2 emissions. This collaboration aims to outfit the vessel Dietrich Oldendorff, responsible for transporting Teck's steelmaking coal from the Port of Vancouver, with a Flettner Rotor system by mid-2024. As a result, it will lower the company's carbon footprint and aid in green transportation corridor development.
Flettner Rotors, which are meant to harness wind energy, will turn it into additional thrust, effectively reducing fuel use during Pacific cruises. The rotors are constructed in part from recycled materials from roughly 342,000 plastic bottles and manufactured by Norsepower.
These rotors, when paired with other emission-cutting measures, are expected to reduce emissions by 55%, resulting in an annual reduction of more than 17,000 tons of CO2. This is equivalent to removing 3,500 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles from the road.
Teck and Oldendorff announced their agreement to employ energy-efficient bulk carriers for shipments in November 2021. Since then, they have eliminated an estimated 115,000 tons of CO2 emissions. Teck and Oldendorff are also testing the use of biofuel on another bulk carrier to reduce emissions.
TECK intends to reduce the carbon intensity of operations by 33% by 2030 and become a net-zero operator by 2050.
Teck Resources reported third-quarter 2023 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 57 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of EPS of 77 cents. The bottom line plunged 57% from the prior-year quarter. Net sales amounted to $2.68 billion, indicating a 25% year-over-year decline. The top line also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.77 billion.
