Rolling out Bioenergy for Australia’s Food, Resources and waste industry.

Delorean Corporation’s Engineering Division leads in delivering commercially viable anaerobic digestion plants to Australia and New Zealand’s industries. We focus on proven, mature technology widely used in the Northern Hemisphere. Our 2-megawatt bioenergy plant at Richgro Garden Products, operating for over 5 years, powers its composting and manufacturing operations in Perth, WA.

Reduce your Capex and Fastrack your return

Our engineering division qualifies for various state and federal grants, including CEFC renewable energy finance. With a proven track record in securing funding, we can develop and finance projects through Delorean Corporation or a joint model. We’ll guide your application for bioenergy plants that reduce energy costs and create new income. Contact us for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sort of waste can be used in an anaerobic digestion plant?

Most organic waste from commercial food, agricultural or manufacturing operations can be used to generate energy. This includes supermarket, kitchen, dairy, vegetable, abattoir and fishery waste, to grain and legume surplus, to ordinary garden waste. Biogas yields are dependant on the type of feedstock available and the mix of feedstocks used in the fermenter.

 

Is this high tech or 'bleeding edge' technology?

No. Anaerobic digestion has been around for years but in the last 20 years the efficiency of the technology has been improved through adoption by Northern Hemisphere manufacturing and agricultural industries. More than fifty new plants are built in Germany every month. Its use is new to Australian industry, outside of some existing public sector municipal waste and wastewater treatment plants.

What are the benefits of putting in a plant?

The main benefits are avoided business operation costs, and generation new income streams. These include:

  • avoided transport costs and gate fees for waste disposal
  • avoided electricity costs (peak and off-peak)
  • avoided heating costs
  • powering vehicles and equipment with upgraded biogas
  • monetising valuable carbon credits under the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Futures Scheme.
  • monetising surplus electricity fed into the grid.
How big does the plant need to be?

This depends on how much organic waste you have available and what your energy requirements or other business objectives are. Plant size can scale from a micro plant servicing 1000 tonnes of waste per annum, to 125,000 tonnes plus per annum. Our experience is that plants become economic above 10,000 tonnes per annum of waste.

 

Our operation doesn't produce organic waste but we have an imperative for renewable energy to avoid energy costs and to offset out carbon footprint. Is anaerobic digestion a viable bioenergy solution in thus case?

It can be. Through our associated development company, Delorean Energy (deloreanenergy.com.au),  we can potentially aggregate and supply the waste stream to support your plant, and we can take away the digestate by-product for recycled into usable products. Your business is free to use the energy from the plant and claim carbon credits if appropriate.
