Envirogen Pty Ltd begins operating new power plant at Oaky Creek Colliery in Central Queensland

摘要

A new coal mine methane (CM.M) power plant, developed and owned by renewable energy developer Envirogen Pty Ltd, featuring 12 of GE Energy's Jenbacher generator sets, has begun operating at one of Australia's largest coai mines, the Oaky Creek Colliery in central Queensland. The plant is providing power to the regional grid while helping to offset the mine's methane gas emissions. Oaky Creek's recent startup was noted in Sydney during an event to launch GE's ecomagination program in Australia. GE Vice Chairman/ President & CEO of GE Infrastructure John Rice cited the Envirogen CMM project as a prime example of how GE can help customers address their escalating environmental and energy challenges, a central principle of ecomagination.
