Glennies Creek Expansion Waste Coal Mine Gas Power Station (Revoked)

Glennies Creek Expansion Waste Coal Mine Gas Power Station (Revoked) was an industrial energy project located in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales. While the provided coordinates point toward the town of Greta, the facility itself is situated at the Glennies Creek Colliery (now known as Integra Underground) in Middle Falbrook, approximately 12 kilometers north of Singleton. The project was registered in July 2015 and operated by EDL (Energy Developments Limited), a company specializing in distributed energy generation.

The project operated under the Coal Mine Waste Gas methodology. This method involves capturing methane, a potent greenhouse gas that is naturally released during coal extraction, and using it to generate electricity instead of venting it into the atmosphere. In this specific "expansion" project, EDL installed additional electricity production devices (identified in reports as GE Jenbacher gas engines) to increase the site's capacity to convert this waste gas into usable power. The generated electricity is typically supplied to the local grid, displacing power from more carbon-intensive sources.

The Middle Falbrook area is characterized by a mix of intensive coal mining operations and agricultural land use, primarily grazing and viticulture. The region experiences a warm temperate climate with a summer-dominated rainfall pattern (averaging 650–750mm annually). The local landscape features sandy loams on alluvial flats and texture-contrast clay soils on the slopes, supporting both the mining infrastructure and the surrounding pastoral activities.

On July 13, 2022, the project was revoked under Section 30 of the CFI Rule. This section refers to a "voluntary revocation," which often occurs when a project proponent chooses to end the project's registration, perhaps to transition to a new crediting period, consolidate projects, or because the specific abatement activity has concluded. EDL continues to operate waste coal mine gas assets across the Hunter Valley and Queensland, contributing significantly to methane abatement in the Australian mining sector.
