'FPC 10 Anaerobic Digester

FPC 10 Anaerobic Digester is an alternative waste treatment (AWT) project located in the industrial precinct of Stapylton, Queensland, approximately 40km south of Brisbane. It was registered in April 2015. While the exact project area size is unknown, it is situated in a region primarily dedicated to industrial activities, commercial development, and resource recovery operations.

Alternative waste treatment projects under the Carbon Farming Initiative involve constructing new facilities to process and divert mixed solid waste that would otherwise go to landfills. By treating this waste instead of letting it decay in a landfill, these projects avoid the creation and release of methane, a greenhouse gas approximately 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and thereby generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).

The Stapylton region is located in South East Queensland, which experiences a humid, subtropical climate characterized by warm temperatures and high rainfall, especially during the summer months. The local environment sits on coastal plains, where soils generally consist of alluvial deposits, sandy loams, and clays typical of the Beenleigh-Brisbane area.

This project was established to divert mixed solid waste to a new treatment facility where it is processed using an enclosed composting technology. According to industry registries, the crediting period for this project ended in 2023. The proponent of the project, RPA Green Fuel Services Pty Ltd, is currently listed in business directories as a de-registered company.
