Mike Davis featured in another AFR article about Renewable Gas

Our Managing Director, Mike Davis was featured in another AFR article regarding biomethane, which is quickly gaining momentum as one of the best ways to reduce industry emissions and as an integral component of our net zero journey.

He remarks in this article, “From our experience at Optimal there is rapidly growing demand for reliable renewable gas, especially biomethane, which can be delivered via existing infrastructure”.

Davis also pointed out the important role technological advancement plays in improving the efficiency and scalability of renewable gas production and for this reason, ORG chooses to work with leading technology suppliers to implement state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion and biogas upgrading systems. “We work with our European technology supplier that has developed over 450 plants around the world”, Davis states.

Many feel that when it comes to decarbonisation, all options should be on the table – a sentiment that Davis echoes: “Biomethane is 100 per cent compatible with our existing pipeline infrastructure providing a ready option while we wait for other fuels, like hydrogen to come online”.

Moreover, when it comes to biomethane, Davis comments that “we are laggards against our international peers – Europe, China, US, India, Brazil and others. We’re falling behind and it’s a crying shame when you look at the available resources here in Australia.”
