Boc central4/9/2023 In fact, if we had additional waste available at McCain’s we could generate enough biogas on site to meet all of the gas requirements of their boiler.” Mr Dugan: “The McCain’s Project is a clear example of how biogas can assist to significantly reduce a customer’s carbon emissions. The Capstone MicroTurbines deliver 1.2 MW of 100% renewable electricity, while also reducing the use of natural gas from the existing 25 MW steam boiler by capturing the turbine exhausts to provide hot combustion air. The ground-breaking renewable energy project for McCain’s Foods Ballarat facility has seen Optimal chosen by McCain’s to design, supply and install a 1.2 MW Biogas Power Generation System using biogas from a newly installed anaerobic digester. Optimal Group Australia has a strong track record in biogas with several projects underway and completed. “We look forward to working with Optimal Group to explore the opportunity for transitioning BOC’s Westbury Micro-LNG plant to BioLNG and working together nationally to develop further opportunities to produce biogases.” “We are committed to working with government, industry and customers to accelerate the transition to net zero emissions and we believe biogases will be a key part of Australia’s future energy mix as we seek to provide renewable gas options for customers.” Vesna Olles, BOC South Pacific Director of Strategy and Clean Energy, said the new agreement was part of BOC’s commitment to develop low carbon gas alternatives and provide pathways for customers to decarbonise thermal energy processes.īOC and Elgas are investing in new technologies, partnerships and research to progress the development of green hydrogen, green ammonia and biogases across Australia. Working with ELGAS and BOC at Westbury provides the perfect platform to launch our renewable gas business as well as providing further opportunities at other ELGAS and BOC LNG plants in Australia.” Optimal Group and BOC/Elgas, subsidiary of Linde to explore development of Australia’s first bioLNG facility in Tasmania, $55M, 2.4 TJ/day waste to biogas plant Our customers are urgently seeking a solution to their thermal energy requirements and biogas offers them with a commercially and technically proven alternative whilst solving Australia’s need to divert putrescible waste from landfill. “Our aim is to have ten grid scale biogas projects with a mix of Biogas to grid and Biogas to LNG within ten years.” Mr Dugan added, “The secret to success in this field will be through speed and scale. Optimal Renewable Gas has a pipeline of additional projects in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland it is seeking to develop to add to its biogas portfolio. This provides a clear demonstration of the potential for biogas to bring forward companies ambitions in their transition to net zero.” “With 100% of Tasmania’s grid power being renewable, customers can now also convert their gas supply to 100% renewable. BioLNG provides an immediate path for existing ELGAS and BOC customers in Tasmania to reach net zero. We are delighted to have reached agreement on this MoU with ELGAS and BOC. On announcing the MoU Optimal CEO, Craig Dugan, said,” With many industrial customers requiring up to 70% of their overall energy requirements for thermal processes, green grid electricity alone cannot deliver net zero to these customers. The biogas plant would provide biomethane to BOC’s micro-LNG plant, which would then be processed into bioLNG and distributed to customers in agriculture, food processing and other industries.Īs demand for renewable energy gathers pace, Optimal has recognised the need to provide commercial and industrial customers with a mechanism to eliminate the carbon emissions from their natural gas usage in their operations. The agreement will allow the companies to investigate the potential of Optimal’s subsidiary, Optimal Renewable Gas (ORG) to build a $55 million, 2.4 TJ/day waste to biogas plant adjacent to the existing Westbury LNG plant.īOC and its subsidiary Elgas supply LNG to industrial customers in Tasmania. Optimal Group and BOC/Elgas, a subsidiary of Linde plc have announced the agreement under a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly explore the development of Australia’s first bioLNG facility at the BOC-ELGAS Westbury LNG Plant in Tasmania.
