Integrated Waste Services - LFG Project

Integrated Waste Services - LFG Project is a landfill gas project located in the industrial suburb of Wingfield, approximately 10km northwest of the Adelaide CBD in South Australia. It was registered in March 2017 and operates across an unknown area size.

Landfill gas projects involve installing a gas collection system to capture methane generated by decomposing organic waste. The captured methane is then combusted, often via flaring or power generation, which converts it to carbon dioxide, significantly reducing its overall global warming potential.

The Wingfield area and the broader Adelaide coastal plains are known for urban industrial operations, waste management, and resource recovery. The area is considered semi-arid to temperate, experiencing around 448mm of annual rainfall. The local soils generally consist of reclaimed marine clay, silt, and sand built over former mangrove swamps.

This project specifically installs a new landfill gas collection system to capture and combust gas generated from both legacy and non-legacy waste at the facility. Notably, the project successfully completed its carbon abatement contract (CAC548746) in August 2024. It has also seen administrative updates, including a proponent change from Veolia Environmental Services (Australia) Pty Ltd and Acquista Investments to IWS Group Asset Co Pty Ltd in April 2023, and a methodology transition to Compilation No. 1 in November 2024.
