WHO WE ARE

LGI is a specialist business in landfill gas management and renewable energy generation. Our core business is to extract the biogas that’s produced in landfills, and treat it in flaring units (to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions) or gas engines (to produce renewable electricity).

We manufacture much of the equipment we use to treat the biogas, including flaring units. We own and operate construction equipment to drill wells and install pipework in landfills. We build, own and operate renewable energy facilities on landfills. We currently operate, maintain, monitor, repair, and expand landfill gas systems across 27 landfill sites in QLD, NSW and the ACT. Our team of 50+ includes skilled trades, specialist engineers, machine operators, early career technicians, and more.

Established in 2009, LGI is a 100% Australian based and operated leader in carbon abatement that’s committed to a clean energy and zero-carbon future.
