Grantville Landfill Gas Capture and Combustion Project

Grantville Landfill Gas Capture and Combustion Project is a landfill gas capture project located at the Bass Coast Shire Council's waste facility in Grantville, approximately 100km south-east of Melbourne in Victoria. It was registered in April 2016 and covers an unknown area, as a specific project acreage is typically not applicable to point-source facility projects.

Landfill gas projects involve the installation of a landfill gas collection system designed to efficiently capture and combust methane and other greenhouse gases generated by the decomposition of legacy and non-legacy waste. By combusting the captured gas, the highly potent methane is converted into less harmful carbon dioxide.

The Grantville area is known for rural coastal living, mixed farming, and livestock grazing. The area generally experiences moderate to high coastal rainfall, and local soils are typically characterised by sandy loams and clay loams.

This project operates at the primary Bass Coast transfer station on the Bass Highway, which also manages municipal recycling and commercial waste. The project initially secured an active government contract (CAC475741) to deliver 44,540 tonnes of carbon abatement. Additionally, in March 2025, the project's methodology was updated to align with the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Landfill Gas) Methodology Determination 2015 (Compilation No. 1).
