Delorean

Delorean Corporation Limited (ASX: DEL) is a vertically integrated Australian company operating at the intersection of renewable energy and waste management. The company was co-founded by Managing Director Joe Oliver and Executive Chair Hamish Jolly. Oliver possesses an extensive background in the engineering, development, and operation of renewable energy infrastructure, particularly within the bioenergy sector in both the UK and Australia. This deep industry experience underpins the company's operational capabilities. In 2019, four companies—Biogass Renewables, Cleantech Energy, Delorean Energy, and Tekpro—merged to form Delorean Corporation, creating a unified entity with comprehensive capabilities across the bioenergy lifecycle. A significant milestone was achieved in April 2021 when the company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) following an oversubscribed $14 million IPO.

The company's business model is structured around three interoperable divisions: Infrastructure, Engineering, and Energy Retail. This structure enables Delorean to manage the entire lifecycle of a bioenergy project, from initial concept and financing through to construction and ongoing operations. The core business is converting organic waste from commercial, industrial, agricultural, and municipal sources into renewable energy. Revenue is generated through multiple streams, including fees for accepting organic waste, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts for third parties, and the sale of the generated renewable energy—biomethane (renewable natural gas), electricity, and biogenic CO2.

Delorean’s service offering centers on anaerobic digestion (AD) technology, a mature process that breaks down organic materials to produce biogas. This biogas is then refined into valuable energy products. The company develops, builds, owns, and operates its own bioenergy infrastructure, and also offers these services to third-party clients. Key projects include the Jandakot Bioenergy Plant in WA, the Blue Lake Milling project in SA, and New Zealand's first commercial-scale AD plant for Ecogas. The company is advancing several new owned-and-operated projects, such as the SA1 Salisbury and VIC1 Stanhope Bioenergy Plants, and a landmark collaboration with Brickworks to supply renewable gas for manufacturing.
