Integrated Waste Services - LFG Project

Integrated Waste Services - LFG Project is a landfill gas (LFG) project located at the Wingfield Waste & Recycling Centre, approximately 12 kilometers north of the Adelaide CBD in South Australia. The project was registered in March 2017 and operates within the industrial suburb of Wingfield, a major hub for waste management and logistics in the region.

The project involves the installation and operation of a new landfill gas collection system designed to capture methane generated by the decomposition of legacy and non-legacy waste. Under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Landfill Gas) Methodology Determination 2015, this captured gas is combusted (flared or used for energy), preventing potent greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. The Wingfield site is situated on the Adelaide Plains, an area characterized by a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The local soil profile historically consists of estuarine clays and reclaimed wetland soils, typical of the Gillman and Wingfield area.

Notable aspects of this project include significant changes in its participant structure; it was originally associated with Veolia Environmental Services before transitioning to IWS Group Asset Co Pty Ltd in 2023. The project held a Carbon Abatement Contract with the Australian Government, which was successfully completed in August 2024 after delivering over 184,000 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
