Australia’s landfill gas projects power 100,000 homes and cut emissions 50% in 30 years, but carbon credit rules risk undermining climate goals.
Australia’s landfill gas extraction projects, using advanced horizontal piping systems, are converting waste sites into renewable energy sources, powering about 100,000 homes and cutting waste-related emissions by 50% over three decades.
While captured gas generates electricity or is cleaned for industrial use, the ACCU carbon credit scheme faces criticism for baselines that allow excessive credits, particularly at large sites, undermining climate goals.
Reforms are underway to improve integrity and methane capture, but experts warn current rules still enable over-crediting and artificially low carbon prices.
