Renewables
As an industry-leader for sustainability , Celtic Renewables remains eco-conscious throughout every step of the production process . “ To make sure our entire operation is as sustainable as possible , we work closely with our suppliers to ensure their processes match our planetfirst philosophy . We are committed to only using secondary byproducts and waste materials as our input feedstocks . We also aim to reduce our carbon footprint by using waterpower from a nearby stream to operate the plant . Not only is this better for the environment , but it also has the commercial benefit of keeping costs down .
“ Within our value chain , we have recycled material as feedstock , and a renewable energy source that is used to manufacture useful chemicals . This allows us to decarbonize our process as much as possible , and create a circular economy ,” Mark affirms .
It ’ s clear that this is just the beginning for Celtic Renewables . As the business continues to gather steam , Mark ruminates on what ’ s next : “ In the near future , we ’ ll continue concentrating on the feedstocks that we are familiar with . We want to consolidate our knowledge , and provide the business with a solid foundation , now that it ’ s fully operational . From there , we will start looking at the bigger picture .
“ Our ultimate end goal is to see this technology deployed across the world . There ’ s widespread demand for greener chemical resources , and we now have the tools to make that a reality . The first step toward building an international presence is to open another facility , which is part of our long-term plan for the business .” ■
