Envirogen - enviromental power station technologies

The Envirogen Group develops,
owns and operates environmentally responsible power stations fuelled by
waste coal mine gas and naturally renewable resources.
Envirogen’s waste coal mine gas power stations are supported
by the Department of Environment and Heritage’s Greenhouse Gas Abatement
Program with a total of $22 million in pre tax grant funds supporting the capital
costs of the projects.
To date Envirogen has chosen individual containerised 1 MW reciprocating gas
engine generator sets for is waste coal mine gas power stations. Using this
proven technology ensures that generation can be undertaken over a broad range
of gas qualities at different mine sites while also enabling cost effective
maintenance programs and operational efficiencies.
A 10 MW capacity power station will commence construction in mid 2006 at
Glennies Creek Colliery, located near Singleton in NSW. Glennies Creek Colliery
is one of the newer underground coal mines in the Hunter Valley which is managed
by Glennies Creek Coal Management on behalf of AMCI and partners.
Oaky Creek Waste Coal Mine Gas Power Station commenced
construction in July 2005 at Oaky Creek Coal Mine located in the lower Bowen
Basin in Queensland north of Emerald. The mine is owned and operated by
Xstrata Coal.
Tahmoor Power Station is located at Centennial Coal’s
Tahmoor Colliery just south of Sydney in the Picton area. The first stage of
the power station was completed in 2000 and comprised a 5 MW power station
which generated approximately 40 GWh of electricity each year.
Teralba Power Station is located on Teralba Colliery near
Newcastle in NSW. The mine is owned by Oceanic Coal. The power station and
associated gas processing plant occupies a small area of approximately 20 x
50 metres and the siting of the power station is in close proximity to the
mine’s existing vent stack which reduces the gas transfer system to a
minimum. The power station is wholly located on the mining lease area.
Envirowind has exclusive development rights to two prospective wind farms
located at Red Hill and Binalong in NSW. Both projects are in the initial
planning phase.
Wyangala Dam Hydro Power Station “A” was commissioned in
1991 and was the first major power station to be developed by the private
sector. Located on the State Water managed Wyangala Dam in the Lachlan
Valley catchment area in central western NSW, it foreshadowed the future for
environmentally friendly power sources.
