Innovation

The company soon realised that the brown coal reserve was a valuable resource to Victoria, and explored drying technologies to make a product that would be acceptable as an alternative to black coal. The lowest ranking of coal, brown coal is not mined and burnt in many places in Australia due to the 60% moisture content which has a greater capacity for creating greenhouse gases.

For the last 14 years, the Calleja Group has funded pioneering research into a drying process which turns brown coal into the product equivalent to high-quality black coal.

In 1994 we acquired the technology from two professors at University of Melbourne, Mr Dudley said. We built a small commercial plant in Bacchus Marsh, and then sought an equity partner as it will take millions and millions to put the technology into commercial practice.

With Environmental Solutions International Ltd (ESI) as the technology licensee and Bacchus Marsh plant manager, the Calleja Group envisions that the companys proprietary clean coal drying process will prove to be a viable commercial process .

On behalf of the Maddingley Group, spokesman Don Calleja said: "This transaction aligns the interests of the Coldry and Matmor stakeholders."

"We are now substantial shareholders in ECT, and as such we are pleased that ECT has ownership of the Coldry technology and is in a better position to bring it to full commercialisation.

"Our increased shareholding in ECT will also better align our interests as licensor of the Matmor technology. To a large extent, this transaction fulfils the dream of my brother, the late David Calleja, who worked for over 10 years on developing the Coldry technology."

On 22 June 2009 ECT announced funding for a major feasibility study for a Coldry plant, and agreement on staged construction of the plant with Vietnam based Thang Long Investment and Commercial Joint Stock Company.one truck and then bought more, said the Calleja Groups Project Manager, Peter Dudley. As his sons got older, they also drove the trucks. We now have around 130 trucks so its grown considerably from Joe Callejas original dream.

The open cut mine began supplying steaming coal to paper mills, several hospitals and other industrial customers in 1946. Coal sales ceased due the availability of cheap, natural gas and the closure of the CSR hardboard mill in 1998 (which the Calleja Group bought in 1999). The company then re-directed mining activities towards alternate coal uses, such as supplying agricultural customers with organic fertilisers, soil conditioners and top soils.


Principles Of a Circular Economy

 
 

The Calleja Group is committed to progressively develop a range of processes within the precinct that will optimise the value of materials brought to the precinct for reuse and recovery.

Some of the activities are already underway or in the early stages of development approval such as waste to energy, other activities will be dependent on the establishment of precursor activities within the precinct. Our vision is to have a broad range of materials brought to the site for recovery and recycling where the most appropriate technology can be used to maximise the resource value of the materials.

Waste To Energy

Press Release: Waste to Energy Project at Maddingley Brown Coal-15 June, 2018

MBC in Bacchus Marsh has been operating as a landfill since 1978. Due to the large buffers, potential waste capacity and strategic importance in the acceptance of metal recycling residues the site has been designated by the Government as a waste hub of State significance. MBC is partnering with IntelliGas http://www.intelligas.com.au a to extract methane from its established landfill and process it to generate electricity, as well as divert waste from landfill using Waste to Energy processes. IntelliGas is an Australian-owned company with a successful history in Landfill Gas commercialisation, Waste to Energy and the use of Landfill Gas in multiple applications including in displacing diesel in large vehicles including refuse vehicles.

The Waste to Energy industry is well established globally, converting suitable waste to create electricity and heat, substituting the need for coal and other fossil fuels in energy generation. Investigation of the existing landfill waste stream by MBC and IntelliGas has found that it contains materials such as clean timber and plastic film that are suitable for conversion into a Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) that can be used to generate electricity. The introduction of Waste to Energy systems at Maddingley will be accompanied by increased waste sorting systems to maximise recovery and recycling rates. Residual wastes will be landfilled.

This project can be operated within the existing buffers that are in place for the current mining and composting activities at the MBC site. The Project is being designed to meet European and Victorian EPA emission targets, as well as community concerns.

KEY

1 Waste is delivered on site by Calleja Transport

2 Waste soil banking and recycling

3 C&I and MSW waste is sorted at a MRF to maximise recycling and sort wastes

4 C&I waste is diverted through a WTE facility

5 Organic waste is diverted through an AD facility

6 Un-recovered waste is landfilled

7 Ash from WTE is used to create a roadbase

8 Waste heat, electricity and organic residue used in Industrial Horticulture

9 Waste gasses from AD and landfill recovered and cleaned to displace diesel

10 Electricity from WTE and Solar PV sold to electricity grid

11 Solar PV installed on covered landfill

12 Clean gas sold into gas network

 
 

 
 

The combined benefits of the landfill gas capture and waste to energy projects include:

  • Diversion of waste from landfill, resulting in the reduced creation of methane and the increased lifetime of the landfill

  • Development of local, base-load electricity and gas sources

  • Creation of an estimated 60 permanent jobs, with additional jobs during construction phases

  • Creation of opportunities for local businesses to stimulate the regional economy

  • Increase in the region’s capacity manage waste

  • Reduction in methane gas emissions from landfill


The Maddingley Brown Coal Community Consultative Committee (MBCCC) has been informed about the proposals. As the project further develops, MBC and IntelliGas will apply for regulatory approvals and consult with residents and other stakeholders. The MBCCC will be informed and engaged throughout the process.
