Renewable Gas Alliance Update
Jarrod Irving, Chair of the Renewable Gas Alliance, shared promising developments in the biomethane sector. Despite the recent 2024-25 Budget not including specific biomethane incentives, the industry’s outlook remains positive. The fast-tracking of the Guarantee of Origin scheme by the Government, part of the Future Made in Australia program, will support green industries, including biomethane and biogas.
A study by Blunomy for AGIG highlights significant biomethane potential in Victoria, South Australia, and Queensland:
- • Up to 88.3 PJ of recoverable biomethane annually
• Creation of over 4,000 direct jobs
• Reduction of up to 4.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions per annum
Globally, the sector is booming with a 37% increase in EU biomethane capacity, now reaching 6.4 billion cubic meters annually. This growth shows the potential for rapid scaling with supportive policies, a path Australia is starting to follow.
Renewable Fuels Meet Queensland Parliament Event
EvoET will be attending Bioenergy Australia’s Renewable Fuels Meet Queensland Parliament networking reception on August 21, 2024, at Queensland Parliament House. This event is a significant platform for discussing the future of renewable fuels in Australia. Key speakers include:
- • Hon Grace Grace MP, Minister for State Development and Infrastructure
- • Mrs. Deborah Frecklington, Shadow Minister for Energy and Cost of Living
Project Updates
- 3MW Cogeneration Project: Nearing completion, this project involves installing three 1.0 MW cogeneration units and a Heat Recovery Steam Generator. Designed to generate electricity, steam, and hot water, this system will significantly reduce reliance on the traditional grid and lower carbon emissions. The biogas-ready system aims to offset annual energy costs and may qualify for renewable certificates.
- Woodman Point WRRF Upgrade: EvoET is part of a $238.5 million upgrade at Western Australia’s largest treatment plant. This project integrates advanced technologies like thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment and anaerobic digestion processes, enabling the facility to produce nearly 50% of its energy on-site and reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 5,600 tonnes annually. Key installations include three 2G Avus 1500b 1.5MWe units and a comprehensive suite of energy recovery equipment. Learn more here.
