Our landfill gas business generates electricity and fulfils an important role in helping councils and waste management companies meet their environmental obligations.

Our plants provide sustainable, cost and environmentally effective solutions. Our operations are based on sustainability and cost-efficiency. They are embedded in rural communities to be able to facilitate efficient waste removal from agricultural sites.

We provide high-quality, skilled jobs and help to maintain the integrity of the rural supply chain, keeping jobs, training and opportunities for economic growth open.
