Delorean Growth Trajectory Since Listing:
Since listing Delorean has achieved a number of industry landmark milestones and continues to
pioneer and lead the bioenergy market across Australia and New Zealand.
These include collaboration agreements executed with market leaders AGIG and Brickworks.
Feasibility and project development activities at two Brickworks sites in New South Wales
continues to progress well.
Delorean has acquired full ownership of the SA1 project (up from 30% ownership at IPO in April
2021) including unencumbered project land holdings. This is Australia’s first project to create
green gas to mains utilising commercial and industrial organic waste feedstocks. It will be the
biggest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
Construction of the Company’s VIC1 bioenergy project (90% owned by Delorean) is under way, and
the Company’s two current EPC projects are in advanced build, with the world-first Blue Lake
Milling project producing consisitant and stable gas, offsetting Blue Lake Milling’s electricity draw,
and exporting electricity to the South Australian grid. These achievements have all been made
during challenging conditions for the market due to COVID19 and the related cost and shipping
impacts of the pandemic, which Delorean continues to manage.
In addition, Delorean expects to imminently enter into the $40-50m Yarra Valley Water EPC and
O&M contract (preferred tenderer status with contract finalisition in advanced stages of
completion). This will be the largest bioenergy contract in Australia.
The Company continues to advance towards completion with Planum Partners, under a mandate for
up to $200M in project finance. The Board is aware of of the overhang on shareholder value for a
capital intensive infrastructure business and is therefore working to close a structural financial
arrangement for projects that maximises debt whilst retaining an equity shares for Delorean in these
key infrastructure projects.
The Energy Retail Division has demonstrated notable growth of 35% compared to the same
H1FY2021 period and has been awarded a gas licence in Victoria that establishes an additional
channel for biomethane offtake agreements.
All Directors of Delorean Corporation intend to take up their full entitlement under the SPP and look
forward to continuing to advance the Company’s strategy and success in the Australian bioenergy
market.
Authorised on behalf of the Delorean Corporation Board of Directors by Hamish Jolly,
Executive Chair.
