Energy management
Although fossil fuel is essential for the production of potable water, heating, light and power at our stations, we are always seeking new ways to lessen our dependence on it.
Where possible, we maximise energy efficiencies in many areas such as through cogeneration and an automated building monitoring and control system (BMCS) to control heating and lighting. At Mawson, we also harness natural wind energy which makes a significant contribution to the station's energy requirements.
The station cogeneration systems heat the station buildings and also produce domestic hot water from waste heat for kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.
