World’s First-ever Power Plant That Uses Coal Mine Ventilation Air as Fuel Now in Operation

The date of the official opening of the world’s first VAM Power Plant was Friday September 14, 2007. Conducting the inauguration was the Honorable Morris Iemma, the Premier of NSW, Australia.

The system is based on a patented combination of emission control and steam-cycle technologies. The solution is developed by MEGTEC Systems, supplier of air emission abatement equipment and energy systems worldwide. The world’s first VAM Power Plant is partly funded by the Australian Greenhouse Office.
