• Start up
• Technology
• Fuel Supply

• Mt Cotton Biomass Cogeneration Power Station
• Cleveland Power Pty Ltd (CP)
• The project is a 7.6 MW cogeneration power
  station utilising renewable energy fuels (wastes)
  to create many synergistic outcomes.
• Power plant planned commissioning - June 2009
• Peter Brotherhood steam turbine with steam
  produced by a rotary kiln boiler.
• The power plant boiler will use about 60,000
  tonnes of poultry litter (chicken manure wood
  shavings) per annum. Wood shavings are sourced
  from a sawmill that mills radiata pine timbers.
• Electricity supply to network - 55,000 MWh pa
• Electricity supply to poultry plant 7,000 MWh
  pa
• Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) 62,000 pa
• Green Power Rights (GPRs) - 62,000 pa
• NSW GHG Certificates (NGACs) 55,000 pa
• Waste heat supply to poultry plant 20,000 GJ

• Location
• Parties
• Innovative Technology
• Waste Disposal

• Located on freehold land at Hill View Road Mt.
  Cotton in the Redlands Shire 40 kilometres south
  of Brisbane. The project sits within the poultry
  growing area of the Redland Shire and adjoins the
  Golden Cockerel Processing plant.
• Darwalla Milling Company is the sole owner of
  Cleveland Power Pty Ltd.
• Darwalla is a poultry integrator producing 20
  million chickens per year. Golden Cockerel (GC)
  is jointly owned by Darwalla Woodlands. GC
  processes, distributes and markets chickens to
  customers such as Woolworth, Coles, Red Rooster
  etc.
• The project is the first in Australia to be based
  on the rotating kiln technology. CSIRO scientists
  helped develop systems that will be used to
  increase the efficiency of the power plant.
• Currently chicken waste is disposed by spreading
  on grazing land which releases methane gas to the
  atmosphere during the decomposition process.
  Traditionally chicken litter was used as a
  fertiliser but over the past ten years this has
  stopped by banning the use of chicken litter on
  food crops. The Cleveland project will utilise
  25 of the chicken litter produced in South East
  Queensland.
• The project will achieve significant other
  benefits
• Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
• Turbine waste heat will preheat the poultry
  plants scolding tanks and reduce LPG use.
• Litter is removed from the sheds as soon as the
  birds have been harvested, saving time and
  reducing odour.
• Reduce transport distances to dispose of waste.
• Located at a major electricity distribution
  junction, the power plant will significantly
  reduce distribution network losses.
• Kiln technology allows for highly varied
  feedstock.
