Hanmer Springs Capstone Generation Project
Hanmer Springs
Capstone Generation Project
First in the World Using Geothermal Methane as a Fuel Source
Problem
Hanmer Springs was flaring its geothermal methane and wanted instead to use it to generate electricity.
Solution
DETA identified, developed and delivered the first Capstone generation project in New Zealand, and the first in the world using geothermal methane as a fuel source. DETA initially developed a business case to utilise flared methane at Hanmer and identified that a Capstone Turbine would offer the best generation potential given a variable fuel supply.
DETA then project managed the entire project, from preparation of contracts for equipment and contractors, through to site management and commissioning.
Outcome
The result has far exceeded the initial estimates and is testament to the partnership approach that DETA takes to its projects.
