 With homes and buildings accounting for approximately 20% of Canadian emissions and over 60% of those emissions generated by fossil fuel combustion for space and water heating, hybrid heat pump and tankless water heaters can significantly reduce emissions and facilitate the national net-zero transition.

• Our Australian rail business, Arc Infrastructure, has presented an autonomous rail container wagon solution to the Western Australian Government’s new port development which it unveiled at an industry event. Autonomous rail container wagons will help maximize the efficiency and utilization of rail for freight, while achieving reduced emissions. When in operation, the wagon emits zero emissions and can be charged with 100% renewable energy, while also reducing the number of trucks on the road. The autonomous wagons also feature advanced safety technology versus traditional wagons.

• Our recently acquired hyperscale data center businesses (Data4 and Compass Datacenters) each have robust sustainability practices in place to manage emissions output and resource consumption. This allows them to position themselves to increase access to data in response to ever-growing demand, without having incremental negative impacts on the environment. At Compass Datacenters, emissions are being addressed by using biofuels to fuel on-site generators and accordingly reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions by 85%. This initiative, combined with all measures taken during construction, resulted in Compass Datacenters generating an estimated 18% less tonnes of CO2e than the industry baseline. At Data4, several emissions reductions initiatives have been implemented including utilizing concrete developed through more efficient methods (estimated 40% lower embodied emissions), utilizing hydrotreated vegetable oil for backup generators, deploying refrigerant fluids with lower global warming potential and leveraging AI to reduce refrigerant leaks (estimated 25% reduction in 2023 from 2022 levels). To maintain water consumption to minimal levels, Compass Datacenters and Data4 have each deployed best in class approaches including utilizing waterless cooling (Compass Datacenters, zero liters per kWh) or eliminating adiabatic systems (Data4, 0.05 liters per kWh).
