Biogas Capture and Abatement from Landfill Project

  • A comprehensive landfill gas management system designed, installed and commissioned by LGI in 2024 at Bathurst Waste Management Centre on Mt Panorama.
  • Part of a carbon-cutting partnership between LGI and Bathurst Regional Council to deliver extraordinary environmental results.
  • Phase one of the project involved LGI replacing the previous system by drilling 38 gas wells and connecting a network of pipes to a flare to combust the gas.
  • LGI operates, maintains and will expand the system for the council to optimise gas extraction and carbon abatement.
  • The partnership will also see the council receive the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) revenue generated by the project. ACCUs from landfills have high-integrity, delivering immediate, measurable and permanent carbon abatement.
  • The new biogas system will allow better collection of the biogas and is an important step towards meeting the council’s adopted emissions reduction targets of 25 per cent by 2025 and 60 per cent by 2035.
