Malabar Biomethane Injection Plant
The Malabar Biomethane Injection Plant is the first demonstration project in Australia to produce biomethane and inject it into a gas network.
At this facility, Jemena Malabar Pipeline Pty Ltd has partnered with Sydney Water to upgrade biogas produced from organic waste at the Malabar Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) to a quality that meets the required specifications (Australian Standard AS4564:2020) for injection into the natural gas network.
The Malabar WRRF is located in the Malabar Headland National Park, and is one of Sydney Water’s multiple Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants in NSW that produce biogas from organic waste in waste water. Before the development of the biomethane injection facility, the bulk of the AD biogas output was used for electrical power generation and water heating on site. The balance of biogas that could not be used via site processes was combusted through waste gas burners.
