Day 2 Conference Speaker
Decarbonising Cement: Golden Bay’s Journey to High-Rate Alternative Fuel Substitution
We’re looking forward to hearing from Russell Dyer, Energy and ARF Manager at Golden Bay Cement, on Day 2 (27 May) of the CEP Conference 2026 in Hamilton.
Russell will share a compelling case study on Golden Bay’s 20-year journey to drive energy efficiency and significantly reduce emissions at the Whangārei cement plant.
With more than 30 years at Golden Bay, Russell has played a key role in advancing energy efficiency and pioneering the use of alternative fuels – including wood waste, refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and tyres – while continuing the work to eliminate coal use altogether.
It’s a powerful example of long-term innovation and practical decarbonisation in a hard-to-abate industry.
