Name of the Project
Maryvale energy-from-waste (EfW) project.

Location
Maryvale mill in the Latrobe Valley, in Victoria, Australia.

Project Owner/s
Opal Australian Paper and SUEZ Australia and New Zealand.

Masdar/Tribe Infrastructure Group have been confirmed as the equity partners co-developing and co-funding the Maryvale EfW project.

Project Description
The Maryvale EfW facility will divert about 325 000 t of nonrecyclable waste from landfill and reuse it to generate steam and electricity to replace natural gas and coal-fired electricity. The facility will initially comprise one processing line, providing a commercially efficient waste management solution for regional and metropolitan councils. A second processing line could be added in future to cater for the infrastructure requirements of Victoria’s growing population.​​ 

The facility is aligned with Victoria’s circular economy policy and is expected to reduce Victoria’s greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 270 000 t/y.

The project will be delivered in​​ time to address the pending closure of south-east Melbourne’s main landfill.

Potential Job Creation
The project is expected to deliver more than 500 jobs in Victoria and the Gippsland region during the three-year construction phase and additional ongoing regional jobs at completion.

Capital Expenditure
A$500-million

Planned Start/End Date
Construction of the Maryvale EfW facility is expected to start in late 2021, with completion expected by early 2025.

Latest Developments
None stated.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
ACCIONA (construction partner).
