Canadian mining firm Teck Resources hopes to reduce carbon emissions from its steelmaking coal supply chain by 25% annually through a new agreement with owner-operator Norden.

The Danish shipping company said it would achieve the Scope 3 carbon cuts by deploying fuel-efficient ships, alternative fuels like biofuel, plus data analytics to optimise vessel speed and routing.

If successful, the plan would cut emissions by up to 6,700 tonnes of CO2 each year, equivalent to removing over 1,400 passenger vehicles from the road, according to Norden.
