In Australia, Delorean Corporation Limited has completed the key agreement required by the owner of South Australia’s gas network Australian Gas Networks Limited (AGNL), to connect Delorean’s SA1 Salisbury Bioenergy project for the export and distribution of mains grade renewable gas (biomethane). AGNL is part of Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG), one of Australia’s largest gas infrastructure businesses with operations across every mainland state and the Northern Territory supplying approximately 2 million customers.
The agreement enables Delorean to connect and export biomethane from its SA1 bioenergy project (currently in construction) to customers remote from its facility in Edinburgh Parks in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, via the gas network. This is a major milestone for Delorean and the Australian gas sector, being AGIG’s first connection of biomethane into its gas network and the first commitment in Australia for a network connection for biomethane produced from the processing of organic waste streams diverted from landfill. Under the connection agreement, AGIG has agreed to undertake a comprehensive package of connection works. This includes the essential grid injection works that ensure the safe and efficient flow of gas into the network, maintaining system integrity and reliability.
