Business Overview Delorean Corporation is a vertically integrated business operating in two high growth investment sectors – renewable energy and waste management. Delorean is pioneering the Australian market with bioenergy and driving commercial production of mains-grade renewable gas. Delorean has the inhouse capability to deliver bioenergy projects across the full lifecycle, from project conception to completion; processing organic waste and generating and monetising renewable electricity, heat and gas. The core focus of the business is to develop, construct, own and operate bioenergy infrastructure in Australia. Revenue is derived from the acceptance of organic waste and agricultural residues, the generation of renewable electricity and the production of renewable natural gas. The business comprises three interoperable divisions: • Infrastructure (core): rollout of Delorean owned bioenergy projects through partnerships. • Engineering: refocused to primarily support EPC and O&M of Delorean’s own projects whilst selectively taking on third party work • Energy Retail(inactive): Delorean retains licenses for retailing of energy (electricity and gas) generated only from Delorean projects.
