Garth will be talking about the Mt Piper Project - Re.Group and EnergyAustralia are jointly developing the Mt Piper Energy Recovery Project at an existing coal-fired power station, near Lithgow west of Sydney. The project involves developing a new boiler that will be fired on around 200,000t/a of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) in order to provide steam that will improve the efficiency of the existing power station.
