Kilcoy Project Wins Outstanding Biogas Project Award

by

Evo Energy Technologies is proud to announce that our work with Kilcoy Global Foods has been recognised at the 2025 Australian Renewable Heat Conference Awards, hosted by the Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP). The Kilcoy Co-generation Project received the award for Outstanding Biogas Project, celebrating its role as a benchmark in renewable energy for the food industry.

The project features three Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engines with a total capacity of 4 MW, powered by biogas from onsite wastewater treatment. Supported by Evo Command heat pumps and a Biological Desulphurisation Treatment process, the system transforms waste into clean, reliable energy.

This achievement has enabled Kilcoy to become the first certified carbon-neutral large-scale beef processing facility in Australia, generating electricity equivalent to powering 4,000 homes each year while cutting reliance on grid power.

The award highlights the innovation and impact of integrating CHP, heat pumps, and advanced biogas treatment, and we are proud to have delivered this milestone in sustainable meat processing.

1MW Cogeneration System Secured for NewCold Truganina Site

by

Evo Energy Technologies has secured the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for a major energy upgrade at NewCold’s advanced cold storage facility in Truganina, Victoria. The project involves the installation of a 1MW natural gas-fired cogeneration system, designed with built-in capacity for future trigeneration through an ammonia absorption chiller.

The new system will generate on-site electricity and thermal energy to support NewCold’s operations, significantly reducing reliance on the grid and improving overall energy resilience. With a total system efficiency of 87.7%, the installation is expected to offset over 2,200 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

NewCold is a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics for food and pharmaceutical supply chains. This project supports their sustainability goals and operational efficiency while laying the foundation for future cooling expansion using the same energy source.

The plant is also future-fuel capable, offering the ability to transition to alternative fuels such as Biomethane, LNG or Hydrogen as they become commercially viable.

This award recognises Evo Energy Technologies’ continued leadership in delivering high-performance energy systems across Australia’s industrial and logistics sectors.

Renewables in Action: Visit Kia Ora Piggery During the 2025 Renewables in Ag Expo

by

Evo Energy Technologies is proud to be part of the upcoming National Renewables in Agriculture Conference & Expo, taking place on 23 July in Bendigo, Victoria. The event brings together leaders in farming, energy, and technology to explore how renewables are shaping the future of Australian agriculture.

One of the highlights of this year’s program is the site tour on 24 July to Kia Ora Piggery, where attendees will visit a large-scale biogas cogeneration project delivered by Evo Energy Technologies.

Supporting Sustainable Farming with Biogas CHP

At the centre of the Kia Ora project is a 160kW 2G Agenitor 404c cogeneration system, supplied by Evo Energy Technologies and housed in a 6-metre container. The system is designed to utilise biogas generated from pig waste to produce on-site electricity and heat.

This project reflects a broader shift toward smarter, decentralised energy solutions that reduce emissions, cut energy costs, and support greater sustainability in agriculture. It showcases how advanced technology can be integrated into everyday farm operations to improve long-term performance and environmental outcomes.

See the Technology Up Close

The Kia Ora site tour offers a rare opportunity to visit a major on-farm biogas energy project and gain insights into how cogeneration systems are being deployed in the agricultural sector.

Whether you’re working in agribusiness, sustainability, or energy consulting, this is a chance to explore real-world renewable energy applications designed for the future of farming.

Powering Data Centres with On-Site, Low-Emission Energy

by

Australia’s demand for data storage and processing is growing rapidly, and with it comes the need for more reliable, efficient, and sustainable power. At Evo Energy Technologies, we’re bringing proven solutions to this space through our technology partner, 2G Energy, whose combined heat and power (CHP) systems are already being used in major data centres across Europe.

CHP systems produce electricity on-site and recover the waste heat from that process. This heat can then be reused in cooling systems or elsewhere on site, reducing energy waste and improving overall efficiency. For energy-intensive facilities like data centres, this dual-function system offers a smarter way to manage power supply and thermal load.

We can now offer this capability to Australian data centres through our local supply, support, and engineering services. This solution helps operators:

  • Maintain power during grid outages or instability

  • Improve efficiency by capturing energy that would otherwise be lost

  • Reduce emissions to meet sustainability targets

  • Scale systems to suit small edge facilities or large hyperscale sites

In recent 2G projects, installations have reached over 45MW using three 15MW gas generator stacks, demonstrating how this technology can meet serious demand without compromising reliability.

If your data centre is looking to improve energy performance, reduce reliance on the grid, or prepare for a lower-emission future, Evo Energy Technologies is ready to help.
