LGI

What LGI does

LGI Limited (ASX: LGI), formerly Landfill Gas Industries, is an Australian renewable energy and carbon abatement company that captures methane-rich biogas from landfills and converts it into dispatchable renewable electricity, Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs), and Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS). Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Eagle Farm, Queensland, the company operates across 35 landfill sites in Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT under a build-own-operate model — 9 sites include biogas-to-power generation and 26 are flaring-only carbon abatement assets.

The company's core platform combines proprietary well network installation, ERF-compliant flares (including the in-house LGI250 unit), Siloxane Removal Systems to protect generating equipment, and integrated Tesla Megapack battery storage paired with the proprietary Dynamic Asset Control System (DACS). DACS uses machine learning to autonomously bid into the National Electricity Market in five-minute intervals and respond to grid volatility within milliseconds, enabling both spot electricity sales and FCAS revenue. The technology architecture supports multiple configurations: flaring-only, power generation, and renewable hybrid with battery storage.

LGI primarily serves Australian local councils and, more recently, private waste management operators including BINGO Industries. Revenue is generated through long-term, no-upfront-cost contracts with councils, with returns shared from ACCUs, electricity sales (behind-the-meter or to the NEM), LGCs, and FCAS. Customers include Toowoomba Regional Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council, ACT NoWaste, Bundaberg Regional Council, Bathurst Regional Council, Clarence Valley Council, Somerset Regional Council, Shoalhaven City Council, Gympie Regional Council, Gladstone Regional Council, and Hawkesbury City Council, plus a flagship $18.5M partnership with BINGO Industries at Eastern Creek. As of May 2026, LGI reports 782 GWh of renewable energy generated, 1,090 million m³ of biogas captured, and 10 million tonnes of CO2e abated across its portfolio.

Revenue model

1. Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs): LGI creates ACCUs through the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) by capturing and destroying methane from landfills. These high-integrity credits deliver immediate, measurable, and permanent carbon abatement. Councils receive a share of ACCU revenue while LGI retains the remainder. 20 of LGI's 35 sites create carbon credits.
2. Renewable Electricity Generation and Sales: LGI generates renewable electricity from captured landfill biogas via generators, selling power to councils behind-the-meter, to the National Electricity Market, or under power purchase agreements. Sites include 9 renewable generation sites dispatching over 140 GWh annually.
3. Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs): LGI generates LGCs from renewable power production, providing an additional revenue stream alongside electricity sales and ACCUs.
4. Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS): Through VIOTAS partnership and integrated battery storage, LGI provides FCAS to the National Electricity Market, stabilizing the grid and generating revenue from frequency stabilization services increasingly required to support renewable integration.
