Genex Completes Construction of 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe Battery Project

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
Australian households could save significantly on bills

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
Adaptive reuse saves up to 400 rail cars full of coal - Morris Moor

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
