Clark Energy is General Electric’s authorized distributor for its Jenbacher gas engines in Australia.
The 3MW Jenbacher J620 gas engines will be used at two on-site power projects in rural Queensland.
The engines will generate about 57MW of reliable electricity at two coal seam gas (CSG) processing facilities, which are currently under construction.
The first project at the Reedy Creek coal seam gas processing facility is an expansion of an existing 30 MW on-site power station installed in 2013 with 10 additional high-efficiency Jenbacher J620 gas engines, doubling the size of the plant to 20 units, totaling 60MW.
Clarke Energy will supply the remaining nine Jenbacher J620 units for the second project for a temporary, 27MW on-site power plant that will generate electricity for the Eurombah Creek coal seam gas processing facility.
The company will conduct the ownership, operation and maintenance of both projects, which will employ its modular power station concept.
Clarke Energy managing director Greg Columbus said, "With the deployment of this additional 57 MW of gas engine-generated electricity, we are supporting the development of coal seam gas processing facilities in Queensland."
Upon completion of the two projects, Australia Pacific LNG will have an installed fleet of 29 Jenbacher gas engines that will have the capacity to generate about 87 MW of energy to support coal seam gas processing activities.
