Ambre Energy seeks Ipswich recycled water for Felton mine ...

15 August 2009

Ambre Energy yesterday confirmed it was considering building a water pipeline from Ipswich to service its proposed open-cut coal mine and petrochemical plant in Felton.

The company is costing the project, which could supply 1000 megalitres a year to its thirsty operation, 20 minutes south of Toowoomba.

Business development director Michael van Baarle said the option to pipe the recycled water was in “very early days”.

“We have a commercial negotiation going on in respect to another project and that’s how the idea (to access Ipswich supplies) came up,” he said.

“The concept of sending recycled water to Felton has been discussed internally rather than with relevant authorities.”

He said the company did not want to compete with other landholders for ground water.
