Certified - ASX-listed biogas project developer Delorean told the market Wednesday its SA1 Salisbury project has successfully been accredited under the National Greenpower Accreditation Program administered by the NSW government. As a result, the SA1 facility is eligible to generate RGGO certificates linked to its renewable gas production. The certification allows industrial gas users to match their gas use by buying and retiring renewable gas certificates and reducing their Scope 1 emissions. The certification covers biomethane, biogas, e-methane, and renewable hydrogen. Delorean's A1 project is under construction and will divert up to 70,000 tonnes per year of waste streams, producing biogas from anaerobic digestion.
