Oregon government holds consultation on new emissions standards for natural gas users

05 August 2024

US: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is receiving public comment on its revised 2021 Climate Protection Program, under which natural gas users, including gypsum wallboard producers, will face tighter emissions regulations. The programme will enable plants to buy credits for emissions above regulation level, with the money raised primarily going to fund community-based projects. Local press has reported that the revised rules aim to help realise a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2035 and a 90% reduction by 2050. The latest revision also shortens companies’ compliance period from three years to two.

Eagle Materials raises sales in first quarter of 2025 financial year

01 August 2024

US: Eagle Materials raised its sales in the first quarter of the 2025 financial year to US$609m, up by 1% year-on-year. Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 5% to US$225m. The group’s Light Materials segment raised its sales by 2%, to US$248m, 41% of group sales. Its operating earnings grew by 5%, to US$103m. A rise in gypsum wallboard prices offset a 1% decline in sales volumes to 70.3Mm2 of wallboard, while paperboard sales volumes rose by 10% to 91,000t. The segment also reported a drop in operating costs, including for energy.

CEO Michael Haack said “Our portfolio of businesses continued to perform well, despite adverse weather conditions during the quarter across many of our core markets. Underlying fundamentals in our markets continue to be favourable, and we expect demand for our products to remain steady for the balance of the year. In addition, despite some interest-rate sensitivity, residential construction activity remains resilient, given chronic housing-supply shortages and continued underlying demand strength. Our well-positioned balance sheet, significant cash flow generation and consistent, disciplined operational and strategic execution through shifting economic cycles position Eagle for another strong fiscal year."

GLC Minerals increases despatches of gypsum amid US supply disruption

04 June 2024

US: GLC Minerals has increased its production of specialised gypsum formulas for various applications, after the Port of Baltimore closed on 26 March 2024. The port previously received the largest quantity of gypsum imports of any US port. It closed when the Singapore-registered container ship Dali collided with the nearby Francis Scott Key bridge in the Baltimore harbour. GLC Minerals says that it is collaborating with public and private entities, among them the Port of Green Bay in its home state of Wisconsin, to support supply chains reliant on gypsum.

GLC Minerals’ chief commercial officer, Ed Van Poucke, said “We’re ramping up gypsum production to help support specific segments of the supply chain until the Port of Baltimore is up and running. We operate a terminal at the Port of Green Bay, in the heart of the Midwest, which enables us to help fill this gap in demand, allowing industries that rely on gypsum to continue operating.”

GLC Minerals president Holly Bellmund said "We are nearly 1600km away from the Port of Baltimore, and we’re seeing the impact this event has had on the market. We’re just pleased to be able to assist and be a stop-gap for certain industries until their supply chain is restored.”
