Blue Energy in hydrogen deal to fuel mine fleet

Stanmore’s Isaac Plains mining fleet at Moranbah may be running on hydrogen in future through a deal with gas proponent Blue Energy.

Blue Energy has executed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Stanmore Resources to supply hydrogen from future pilot production activities in its ATP 814 tenement in the Bowen Basin.

It follows an earlier deal between the parties to capture and market mine gas from Stanmore’s proposed Isaac Plains underground operation adjacent to Blue's ATP814. . .

Blue Energy in new Bowen Basin gas supply deal

Bowen Basin gas developer Blue Energy has reached a deal to supply Origin Energy with up to 300 PJ of gas at Wallumbilla over 10 years from its ATP814 coal seam gas tenure.

With an indicative start date of 2024, it is the second such Heads of Agreement (HOA) executed by Blue Energy as it looks to deliver gas to into the main East Coast domestic market from the Moranbah region.

Blue Energy fired up over federal gas focus

Queensland gas developer Blue Energy says it is delighted at the Federal Government prioritising supplies from the North Bowen and Galilee basins, along with the Beetaloo Basin in the Northern Territory.

The focus was part of a major gas plan announced yesterday to help underpin the nation's post-COVID-19 economic recovery through the provision of reliable long-term gas supplies.

Blue has acreage positions in all three nominated basins, including certified gas reserves and resources in the North Bowen Basin (3000. . .

Backing for Bowen Basin gas pipeline study

The State Government is backing a pre-feasibilty study for a new 500km gas pipeline to connect gas reserves in the Bowen Basin to the east coast domestic market and overseas customers.

It will contribute $5 million for the study as part of the recovery plan for Central Queensland, and is seeking a further $5 million in matched funding from the Australian Government.

The pipeline project could create more than 1000 jobs during construction and would supercharge the opening up of gas production in the Bowen Basin, bringing many more jobs to the region, the government says.

The study will. . .

Blue Energy fired up over Bowen Basin gas potential

Blue Energy says it has received positive results from a pre-feasibility study for a gas-fired power project in the Nebo area.

Blue commissioned engineering firm Clough to undertake the pre-feasibility/business case study for the proposed plant, which would use gas from its Monslatt Block tenement (ATP814).

"The findings of the study show that low-emission gas-fired peaking capacity is economically viable under a range of machine sizes (megawatt output), configurations and electricity prices," Blue Energy managing director John Phillips said in a company statement.

"Given Blue’s 100 per cent ownership of the gas and. . .

Call to back CQ gas pipeline for post COVID-19 boost

Blue Energy is advocating for governments to back a 500km multi-user gas pipeline to unlock 15,000 PJ of discovered gas resource in the Bowen Basin.

With post COVID-19 'shovel-ready’ infrastructure projects critical to the national economic recovery, it says the Moranbah to Gladstone/Wallumbilla gas pipeline would be capable of delivering up to 300 terajoules (TJ) per day of gas to the domestic market.

It says government sanction and funding of the line would be required to facilitate natural gas and energy field developments in the Northern Bowen Basin.

Gas-fired power plant proposal near Nebo

Blue Energy is investigating the feasibility of developing a gas-fired power station on its Bowen Basin tenements near Nebo.

The site under consideration is close to the high-voltage transmission line linking Gladstone and Townsville, the major power arterial for the Mackay and Townsville regions.

"Discussions are being undertaken with energy regulators to establish the requirements for access to the network in both the Glenden and Nebo areas," the company said in a report to the ASX today.

"Discussions are also underway with potential electricity off-takers and equipment manufacturers to gauge equipment size, scalability and connection requirements."

Blue Energy CEO wants more Bowen Basin infrastructure

Additional infrastructure is needed as a priority to further open the potential of the Bowen Basin's gas reserves, according to the head of Brisbane-based company Blue Energy Limited.

Chief executive officer John Phillips said a new pipeline south from Moranbah was required to bring more gas to the east coast market.

He said the potential for the Bowen Basin to be a major contributor to Australia’s diminishing east coast gas supplies had received a timely boost with a significant resource upgrade in the northern Bowen Basin region announced by Blue Energy.

Mr Phillips said the area was. . .
