Genex completes 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe Battery Project

Genex Power Limited has completed the construction of the 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe Battery Project in Rockhampton, Queensland, its  first large-scale battery energy storage project (BESS). The installation of two replacement Megapacks was completed in November 2023, with testing and final hold point tests completed in December 2023. Genex granted the final construction milestone and made the final payments to Tesla, after recovering full costs associated with a minor fire event at the project. Genex CEO Craig Francis stated: “Following the commencement of operations at our 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe Ba... more

RACV completes its largest solar panel installation in Victoria

RACV Solar has completed its largest solar panel installation in Victoria to date, at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO)’s Australian Synchrotron in Clayton, Victoria. Offsetting enough power to light up the whole MCG for more than five years, over 3,000 panels cover an area of nearly 6,600m², including the large and iconic circular roof of the main research facility. The panels will save ANSTO over two million kilowatt hours per year while also reducing its carbon footprint by over 1,680 tonnes per year. RACV General Manager Energy Greg Edye said RACV Solar is delight... more

Australian households could save significantly on water and energy bills

An in-depth review of over 20,000 Melbourne households revealed significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy consumption, and associated costs that may be lowered through greater water efficiency. Water use in Melbourne houses accounts for 3.8 per cent of GHG emissions, which is comparable to total domestic and international travel in Australia. Researchers from Monash University and The University of Queensland have indicated that a Melbourne-wide program entailing a simple shower head retrofit could reduce customer bills by $160 and lower GHG emissions by between 98 and 226 kilo-tonnes per year, wh... more

Transforming wastewater treatment for a greener Victoria

Wastewater treatment in Melbourne’s west is about to be transformed thanks to a $711 million investment to modernise the plant to ensure the health and sanitation needs of Victoria’s growing population are met for generations to come. VIC Minister for Water Harriet Shing recently announced the start of works on a new Resource Recovery and Re-Use Complex — the first major milestone in the modernisation of the Western Treatment Plant. “Innovation and efficiency in wastewater treatment has enabled Victoria to lead in adaptation to climate change, our circular economy and delivering large-scale improve... more

Hybrid design revealed as lowest carbon footprint for new Kyklos building in Luxembourg

UNStudio, with local partner HYP Architects, were recently announced by the Atenor, Arhs group and Agora Luxembourg as the winners in the competition for the design of the Kyklos building in Belval, Luxembourg, and have found a hybrid steel-concrete design would provide the lowest carbon footprint. Belval is a redevelopment project that has successfully transformed an old industrial site in Luxembourg into an urban centre that now houses a university and technological centre, residential and office spaces, in addition to hotels and retail. The Kyklos building will be the last building to shape the Central Squ... more

Building’s adaptive reuse saves on embodied carbon

The 1960s industrial precinct formerly owned by Philip Morris has been sustainably transformed into a $200 million commercial community, the adaptive reuse process included the retainment of the existing structure throughout the build. This has resulted in savings to date of 19 million kilograms of embodied carbon — which is the equivalent of 400 rail cars full of coal. After the completion of Building 4, the project’s builder — Kapitol Group — delivered a construction program in which these embodied carbon savings contributed to the developer’s overall goal for the site to increase energy effici... more

Lab tests reveal green helium reservoir’s high concentration

An ASX-listed Australian-based junior believes it may have come across one of the largest untapped green helium reserves in the world. Earlier this month, Noble Helium Ltd confirmed that lab testing of the substance from the Mbelele prospect at its North Rukwa project in Tanzania had returned high helium concentrations of 2.46 per cent. The results are in line with the company’s initial field calculations based on the gas recovered from helium-enriched fluids across multiple reservoirs during a two well drilling campaign conducted during the December quarter. Moreover, these numbers compared favourabl... more

Axpo partners with Infinite Green Energy to develop the Valle Peligna hydrogen project

Axpo Holding and Infinite Green Energy (IGE) have entered into a binding joint development agreement to develop the commercial-scale Valle Peligna hydrogen project in Abruzzo, Italy. The JDA describes the strategic partnership between IGE and Axpo, including the key terms, and milestones to successfully reach a final investment decision. The Project launched more than 18 months ago is consistent with the Italian Government's ‘Hydrogen Valley’ strategy, which seeks to enhance brownfield sites. Leveraging the industrial area in the Abruzzo municipality of Corfinio, the project is expected to deliver a... more

Woodside to fund $12.5 million university-led decarbonisation project

Rice University and Woodside Energy have announced a five-year technology collaboration aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing lower carbon solutions. Woodside will provide $12.5 million to fund the creation of the Woodside-Rice Decarbonisation Accelerator — an initiative that aims to bring breakthrough decarbonisation technology from the Rice labs to market. Rice University President Reginald DesRoches said: “This collaboration is a testament to the power of merging academic expertise with industry insight and support.” The goal of the accelerator is to fast-track the commeciali... more

Feasibility study launched for hydrogen pipeline in Southern Europe

Wood will deliver a scope for an undisclosed energy company in Southern Europe that will assess the feasibility of converting 125 kilometres of natural gas pipelines for hydrogen transportation along the Mediterranean coastline. The feasibility study will advance the energy company’s decarbonisation goals and its ambitions to become a hydrogen enabler — linking European production to demand. Wood President of Decarbonisation Dan Carter stated that the European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) initiative has underlined the critical role hydrogen and its associated infrastructure will play in the transition to ca... more
