EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG Introduction & Welcome
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG Case Study Overview Background on Energy Developments Background on Directhaul The Partnership The Challenge
Background on Energy Developments EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG Background on Energy Developments
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG EDL - Background Energy Developments Limited is 100% owned by the Duet Group Duet successfully acquired the EDL business on 22 October 2015 EDL is a Brisbane based owner and operator of remote and clean energy power generation projects located in Australia, Europe and the United States. EDL’s comprise four regional business units Australian Remote Energy Australian Clean Energy European Clean Energy and US Clean Energy
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG EDL – Background – Remote Energy Within the Australian Remote Energy business unit, EDL provides electricity to remote towns, communities and mines that are not connected to power grid infrastructure, via power plants that are predominately fuelled by natural gas with some diesel generation
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG EDL – Background – Clean Energy Within the Clean Energy business unit, EDL generates power from methane gas extracted from underground metallurgical coal mines (referred to as waste coal methane gas or WCMG) and methane gas extracted from landfills (referred to as landfill gas or LFG).
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG West Kimberley Power Project (WKPP) EDL’s WKPP has four (4) gas fired power stations in the West Kimberley in the townships of Broome, Derby, Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek. To supply fuel to these powers stations, LNG is produced at a facility near Karratha at the Maitland Industrial Estate.
EDL and Directhaul – Safely Transporting Essential LNG West Kimberley Power Project (WKPP) Each of EDL’s WKPP Power Stations has a connected Fuel Storage Facility for the LNG Fuel. Upon demand, the LNG is vaporised back to NG for use in the gas fired Electrical Generating Modules. The technology to produce and transport LNG has allowed the creation of a “Virtual Pipeline” to transfer natural gas from the Barrup peninsular to the West Kimberley’s townships
