Many of LGI's landfill sites are owned by local government, who wanted to be on the front foot on environmental issues. “Local councils are looking to monetise what they have,” an analyst said.

One of the largest projects underway is at Eastern Creek in the western suburbs of Sydney, about 20 kilometres from where the second Sydney Airport will be located in Badgerys Creek. Earthworks have started and biogas infrastructure is in place at the site, owned by Bingo Industries.

The $18.5 million biogas project at Eastern Creek is earmarked to be fully up and running by the end of 2025-26. LGI chief executive Jarryd Doran said it will have the capacity to generate about 4 megawatts per hour, enough to power about 7500 homes.

LGI lifted net profit 4 per cent to $6.7 million in the 12 months to June 30, on revenue up 2 per cent to $30.8 million.

Mr Doran said the company makes money from three main avenues: it generates fees from operating landfill sites for owners; sells electricity into the grid; and earns income from Australian carbon credit units, mainly derived through installing gas flaring systems on landfill sites.
Producing energy from biogas means the company can time its release into the electricity grid, unlike solar and wind farms.
“We are generating all the time, but we can control the time of the day that we send it out to the market,” Mr Doran said.

The group has its eye on projects in other states where local councils are the main customers as they tend to own waste facilities.
