About the NSW1 Project
NSW1 is a Delorean, 100% owned, bioenergy facility to be constructed on Brickworks'
land immediately adjacent to its Horsley Park manufacturing operations. The facility
will process source-separated organic waste diverted from landfill and produce mains-

Management Commentary
Delorean Managing Director Joe Oliver said:
"Reaching Financial Close on NSW1 is a major milestone for Delorean and for Australia's
biomethane industry, following on from Delorean's 100%-owned SA1 Project now
approaching commissioning in Adelaide. With the support of the NSW Government,
ARENA, Westpac, Tanarra, Brickworks and of course our shareholders, we can now build
and own critical organic waste processing infrastructure on Sydney's doorstep, delivering
renewable gas to Brickworks for decades. The project will deliver diverse long term
contracted and merchant revenues, which will continue to layer up as Delorean continues
to close out and construct its development pipeline."
This announcement has been authorised for release on behalf of the Delorean
Corporation Board of Directors by Hamish Jolly, Executive Chair.
