ASX Announcement
FINAL INVESTMENT DECISION FOR 100%-OWNED NSW1 HORSLEY
PARK BIOENERGY FACILITY WITH $30.5M IN GRANTS SECURED
Key Highlights:
• Delorean has reached a positive Final Investment Decision (FID) on the NSW1 Horsley
Park Bioenergy Facility co-located with Brickworks’ operations in Horsley Park, New
South Wales.
• The project will be 100% owned and operated by Delorean, located on Brickworks’
land under a 25 year lease agreement with an offtake for biomethane to Brickworks
from first gas through to the end of the lease.
• The project has secured $20 million from the NSW Government through the Net Zero
Manufacturing Initiative (NZMI) grants program, administered by the NSW
Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, and $10.5 million
from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) under the National Industrial
Transformation Program.
• Together, these grants provide a direct contribution of capital towards the $62.1m
construction of the project. The remaining $31.6m required for the project construction
is intended to be source funded by Delorean.
• Delorean’s FID remains subject to achievement of financial close of the remaining
$31.6m construction costs within 6 months.
• Delorean and Brickworks have entered into definitive agreements for the transaction,
including the lease, and renewable gas offtake agreement. The lease and offtake
agreements are conditional on Delorean achieving financial close within 6 months.
• The Project was DA approved in July 2025, and construction of the facility is anticipated
to commence Q3 CY2026, subject to financial close.
• The NSW1 facility, another pioneering renewable energy project in Australia developed
by Delorean with the support of Brickworks, will process organic waste diverted from
landfills, generating renewable gas for offtake by Brickworks for the manufacture of
bricks, reducing the site’s overall Scope 1 emissions by approximately 38%.
Delorean Corporation Ltd ("Delorean" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that
the Delorean Board has reached a positive Final Investment Decision, subject to
sourcing $31.6m final funding, to progress the landmark $62.1m NSW1 Horsley Park
project co-developed to date with Brickworks Building Products Pty Ltd
(“Brickworks”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Washington H. Soul Pattinson and
Company Limited (ASX:SOL).

To assist with the construction of the project, the NSW Government has awarded Delorean
via Horsley Park Bioenergy Pty Ltd a $20m grant under its $480m Net Zero Manufacturing
Initiative and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (“ARENA”) has awarded a $10.5m
grant under the National Industrial Transformation Program. Both Grants will provide a
direct contribution of capital towards the $62.1m construction of the project.
Delorean’s FID, and both of the grants are subject to Delorean sourcing the balance of
construction funding of $31.6m for the NSW1 project. Delorean presently proposes to fill this
capital requirement through a mixture of debt and through the issue of new equity in the
Company.
About the 100% Delorean Owned NSW1 Project
The NSW1 Project is a bioenergy facility co-developed to date by Delorean and Brickworks
under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Master Services Agreement (MSA). The
facility, to be constructed on Brickworks’ land immediately adjacent to its Horsley Park
manufacturing operations, will process organic waste diverted from landfills, generating
mains grade biomethane which will be piped onsite directly to Brickworks for the
manufacture of bricks.
The facility is proposed to have a processing capacity of 120,000 tonnes per annum of
source-separated organic waste, with approval to process up to 150,000 tonnes per annum.
It is expected to produce approximately 253,000 GJ of renewable gas (biomethane) annually,
cutting natural gas usage in the co-located brick plant by around 50 per cent, which equates
to a 38 per cent reduction in Brickworks’ overall Scope 1 emissions at this site.
Initial works on the construction of the facility is anticipated to commence Q3 CY2026,
subject to funding. Delorean estimates a 21-month construction time to completion of
commissioning (Q2 CY2028), with initial revenues from acceptance of organic waste, and
first gas (renewable biomethane), within approximately 18 months.
The Brickworks Board has approved the project and granted the lease on the basis of this
intended timetable and subject to Delorean achieving financial close within 6 months.
Based on current estimates, over the minimum project life of 25 years, the project is expected
to generate in excess of $13 million of revenue per year for Delorean without allowing for
CPI. This revenue is across the projects multiple revenue streams which include Gate Fees,
Renewable Natural Gas and Carbon Credits (ACCUs), with potential to capture further
revenue from the NSW Renewable Fuel Certificates and Liquid Fertiliser.

supply agreement pursuant to which Brickworks will
offtake all the renewable gas, over the term of the lease up
to agreed commercial in confidence maximum quantities.
Brickworks is also entitled to purchase ACCUs and
Renewable Fuel Certificates from the project.
The Gas Supply agreement is also conditional on Delorean
securing the funding for the development of the project as
outlined above.

Delorean proposes that the remaining $31.6m will be funded by a mixture of debt and funds
raised from the issue of new equity. The Company has engaged Coltbridge Capital to
commence formal debt sourcing and has engaged Canaccord Genuity and Curran and Co to
assist with assessing different capital raising options for the Company. Further information
on these critical steps will be disclosed once terms are finalised.
“Delorean’s 100%-owned NSW1 facility co-located with Brickworks operations in
Horsley Park is a transformational milestone for the Company and an industry changing
milestone for Australia” Delorean Managing Director Joe Oliver said “With the
significant grant support of ARENA and NSW Government, Delorean will now build
critical organic waste processing infrastructure on Sydney’s doorstep, supporting
Brickworks’ brick manufacturing for the New South Wales housing market for decades
to come. The project sets the position clearly that Delorean’s build/own/operate
facilities are the future path forward for Australia’s gas reliant industrial and
manufacturing sector”
Brickworks Building Products CEO Mark Ellenor said “Reliable and affordable gas remains
critical to Australian manufacturing, and biomethane projects like this provide an important
pathway to diversify energy supply and support industry. We welcome the support of the
Federal and NSW Governments for this initiative. This project will reduce Brickworks' Scope 1
emissions at the site by nearly 38% while also diverting significant volumes of organic waste
away from landfill. The initiative will introduce low carbon bricks to the NSW housing market.”
