It’s been a big month in Australia’s biomethane sector with the Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) signing an agreement to connect the first biomethane project into its South Australian gas networks.
Under the agreement with local bioenergy business Delorean Corporation, up to 210 terajoules of biomethane generated from commercial and industrial organic waste will be injected into the existing gas network each year. Delorean also plans to sell the biomethane to industrial users.
The latest agreement enables Delorean to connect and export biomethane to customers remote from its facility in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, via the gas infrastructure business AGN’s existing gas network.
Located at Edinburgh Park, which is about 20 minutes north of Adelaide CBD, Delorean’s SA1 project will use anaerobic digestion to process up to 70,000 tonnes a year of waste to produce biogas for renewable electricity and gas. Construction has commenced on the facility, with commissioning set to complete next year.
