ResourceCo Resource Recovery Facility
The $70 million alternative fuel plant in Hemmant is the first facility of its type in Queensland and builds on ResourceCo’s growing national footprint of resource recovery operations.
At this facility, ResourceCo receives waste that has previously only been able to go landfill, separating recyclables, then producing an alternate fuel that replaces coal as an energy source for high energy using cement manufacturers.
In addition to extracting materials such as metals, heavy recyclables including rock, brick and concrete, the facility has capacity to manufacture about 150,000 tonnes of PEF each year, with an overall landfill diversion rate of 95 per cent whilst reducing emissions.
Phoenix Power Recyclers
Phoenix is Queensland’s first purpose built in-vessel composting facility. The facility features controlled atmosphere receival hall, picking station and aerated floor composting vessels all with the aim of minimizing odour emissions and optimizing composting process. This makes it ideally suited to accept FOGO and food wastes of all kinds.
Phoenix is continuously working to develop markets in all sectors including the agricultural community, through market education strategy forming partnerships with waste producers from the food production industries to develop products that are in increasing demand for the health of agricultural soils.
Bunya Renewable Hybrid Project
LGI designed, built, and operates the Bunya renewable power station which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Initially commissioned in 2018 as 1MW, in 2021 LGI downsized the generator to 600kW. In 2024, LGI then upgraded to a renewable hybrid with a battery energy storage system (BESS) comprising a 1MW/2MWh Tesla Megapack. LGI has a long-term contract with Moreton Bay Regional Council at Bunya, Dakabin and Caboolture to recover and beneficially reuse biogas.
