Kestrel Coal Resources has announced that it has partnered with the Queensland Government, through the Treasury’s Low Emissions Investment Partnerships (LEIP) program, for the funding of a 30 MW coal mine waste gas power station project.
The project will allow the company to expand its gas drainage system to capture more gas, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere and repurposing it for power generation.
The 30 MW power station will generate enough electricity to power up to 40,000 homes and increase the reliability of the electricity grid in the region.
This LEIP funding initative is a significant step forward in delivering Kestrel’s emissions reduction targets as it continues to sustainably supply the steelmaking industry, Kestrel says.
