LGI specialises in upgrading and optimising landfill gas management systems to achieve greater gas extraction, renewable energy generation and carbon credit creation.
We are an established leader in recovering biogas from landfill, and converting it into renewable electricity, Australian Carbon Credit Units (or ACCUs) and Large-scale Generation Certificates.
Leading the field – collaboration is helping councils achieve best practice landfill operations.

Collaboration is helping councils achieve best practice landfill operations and reap environmental and financial benefits. LGI’s power generation and field technician Scott Prior explains.
“The days when dad would go to the tip and come home with more than he took are a shared childhood memory for Generation X. As are the mounds of split rubbish bags spilling their contents and the sour stench that clung to the air.
But the oldest and most common form of waste disposal is no longer a set and forget burial pit for waste – they’re well engineered and managed, and an important source for dispatchable, renewable energy. LGI is capturing biogas formed naturally in landfills to abate carbon emissions, improve local air quality and, in some cases, generate renewable energy. Scott Prior, LGI Power Generation and Field Technician, says there’s a science behind what happens at landfills.”
