Integrated Waste Services - LFG Project

Integrated Waste Services - LFG Project is a Landfill Gas project located at the Wingfield Waste & Recycling Centre, approximately 12km north of Adelaide in South Australia. It was registered in March 2017 and operates on an industrial waste facility site.

Landfill gas projects involve installing or upgrading a gas collection system to capture and combust methane gas generated by the decomposition of legacy and non-legacy organic waste in a landfill. By combusting the methane, typically through flaring or electricity generation, these projects prevent a highly potent greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere.

The Wingfield area on the Adelaide Plains is primarily utilized for heavy industrial and waste management operations. The local environment features a Mediterranean climate characterized by moderate, winter-dominant rainfall, and the regional soils are predominantly composed of estuarine coastal clays and sandy loams.

This project successfully completed its Commonwealth carbon abatement contract (CAC548746) in August 2024, delivering 184,500 units to the Australian government out of an original 350,000 commitment. Since its inception, the facility has been highly productive, having been issued over 342,800 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). Originally involving Veolia Environmental Services, the primary participant was officially varied in April 2023 to IWS Group Asset Co Pty Ltd as the trustee for the IWS Group Asset Trust.
