In Australia, Patriot Hydrogen Limited is moving forward with its biomass clean energy project just outside Sydney in New South Wales, which is expected to be commissioned in 2024 and be the first of its kind in Australia.
The project will take the wood waste from an operating timber sawmill and convert it to renewable electricity & biochar through its state-of-the-art pyrolysis system. The timber mill is providing the land for Patriot to construct the plant and has signed a long-term offtake power purchase agreement to buy the zero carbon-clean electricity, helping it reduce energy costs and emissions.
Patriot’s management team has signed & secured a series of agreements for the delivery of the plant.
Project Status:
· Plant design & fabrication complete
· Land secured & lease signed
· Civil work drawings submitted
· Council & local government engaged
· Power offtake agreement has been signed
· Wood waste feedstock supply agreement has been signed
· The Carbon credits program is discussed & ready to design
The system will produce biochar as a by-product which is a stable form of carbon and allows the project to qualify for carbon removal credits which are currently trading around the world at over $318/ton. The biochar will be sold locally to be used in farming & agriculture as a soil enhancer.
