This project covers the installation of equipment that will burn methane contained in waste coal mine gas to produce electricity. This will result in a reduction in methane emissions to the atmosphere and displacement of coal-fired electricity generation. The GGAP funding will be used to install and operate four container-mounted 3MW gas turbine engines at Grasstree colliery at German Creek in central Queensland. This Deed of Agreement will cover performance of the project, and will include details such as the milestones against which payments will be made, reporting requirements and delivery of the agreed abatement.
Negotiations are currently under way.
It is anticipated that further information, including starting dates, will be available once these negotiations have been finalised.
