Snapshot: 2025 has begun as a landmark year as Delorean ramped up its transition to
renewable gas production and sustainable infrastructure ownership and operation. A
watershed moment and an Australian first was achieved when the Australian Gas
Infrastructure Group (AGIG) and Delorean jointly announced to connect Delorean’s SA1
Salisbury Bioenergy plant to the AGIG gas grid for the export and distribution of mains grade
renewable gas (biomethane). This followed the announcement of an agreement with
Supagas for the sale of biogenic food-grade liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) from the SA1 plant.
Complimented by Delorean securing additional grant funding and further debt funding to
fully fund the upgraded SA1 project.
Cash Balance: $15.0 million as at 31 March 2025.
Receipts from Customers: $4.4 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2025.
Yarra Valley Water: Construction on site continued to advance on the $59.5 million Yarra
Valley Water food waste to energy Design Build Operate Maintain (DBOM) project. After the
completion of the major civil works on site, all inlet, outlet and digester tanks were
constructed. The reception building is completed, power generation and major process
equipment items have been delivered onsite and placed ready for mechanical and electrical
connection.
SA1 Project: During the quarter, further site teams mobilised to site and major earth works
commenced. All long lead items have been ordered with key suppliers, with the target of
reaching waste acceptance and first gas in FY2026.
Brickworks/NSW1 Project: Delorean continued to progress the ongoing co-development
of the NSW1 project, in its landmark collaboration with Brickworks Building Products. The
parties are actively working to set the timeline and path to Final Investment Decision (FID).
Corporate: The Company drew down $6.0 million from the Tanarra debt funding facility
during the quarter, to support the ongoing construction of the SA1 project. Since the
inception of the Tanarra facility to 31 March 2025, DEL has drawn a total of $23.85m.
Renewable Gas and CO2 Demand: Delorean demonstrated the significant ongoing and
growing demand for Delorean’s renewable natural gas (biomethane) and biogenic LCO2
through the announcement of the biomethane gas connection agreement with AGIG and the
sale agreement with Supagas for food grade biogenic LCO2 from the SA1 plant.

Q3 FY2025 Activities Report
Delorean Corporation Limited (ASX: DEL) is pleased to provide an overview of the March
2025 quarter (Q3 FY2025) activities and the cash position.
Business Overview
Delorean Corporation is a vertically integrated business operating in two high growth investment
sectors – renewable energy and waste management. Delorean is leading 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
(gate fees), the generation of renewable electricity and the production of renewable gas
(biomethane). Additional revenues are also available from the production of a bi-product,
renewable food grade liquid CO2 (biogenic LCO2) as well as Australian Carbon Credit Units
(ACCUs) and Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs). Furthermore, there are prospects for
other revenue streams in the future, including the sale of liquid and solid biofertilisers. All these
monetisation streams contribute to the overall financial viability and sustainability of bioenergy
operations.
The business comprises three interoperable divisions:
•
Infrastructure (core): rollout of Delorean owned bioenergy infrastructure through our project
pipeline and key partnerships
•
Engineering: supporting the EPC and O&M of Delorean’s own projects, while selectively
supporting the Bioenergy sector with third party projects and partnerships
•
Energy Retail: retailing of renewable energy (electricity and gas) generated from Delorean
projects through our National electricity retail licence and Victorian Gas retail licence

Investment Highlights
Unique high yielding investment opportunity in the bioenergy sector
✓ Delorean is the only Build-Own-Operate (BOO) Bioenergy developer in Australia with a strong
track record of delivering successful award-winning projects across ANZ
✓ Delorean is uniquely positioned to develop its strategic portfolio of BOO projects with
significant industry partners
Long-term value upside
✓ High margin business with contracted multiple revenue flows – predictable and stable income
once assets are operational, underpinned by long-term contracts and attractive project
economics
✓ Unique proposition on the ASX providing equity exposure to shovel ready waste and clean
energy infrastructure projects that demonstrate significant project-level IRRs
Attractive industry dynamics with strong growth potential
✓ Bioenergy industry has significant ‘green’ tailwinds driven by demand for renewable energy
production and waste diversion
✓ Use of organic waste to create gas enables sale of gas at a ‘green’ premium and at a time of
significant undersupply
Project Pipeline
The following graphic sets out an overview of Delorean projects, completed, under construction,
under development and in the pipeline.
Delorean has successfully delivered 3 award-winning bioenergy projects (Jandakot WA, Blue Lake
Milling SA, Ecogas NZ) and is currently constructing its largest project to date for Yarra Valley Water
in Lilydale, Victoria, as well as its first Build-Own-Operate facility, the SA1 Salisbury Bioenergy in
South Australia. Delorean’s project pipeline will see Delorean delivering a greater number of
projects at a larger scale across Australia, consistent with the growth in the bioenergy sector.
