Lucas Heights landfill gas collection station
About the LFG station EDL is a global leader in the operation of landfill gas (LFG) powered stations across Australia, Europe and North America. In Australia, EDL has led the landfill gas sector, pioneering technology at Lucas Heights for several decades. LFG is generated from decomposing organic matter in refuse tips. It mostly consists of methane, carbon dioxide and organic compounds. This gas would otherwise be released to the atmosphere or flared. Instead, EDL converts the gas to electricity, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
The power station is capable of generating approximately 155 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity annually, which is enough to power approximately 17,521 homes.
