Last updated: 8 August 2023
Latrobe City Council is a finalist for an Industry Leader award in the Premier's Sustainability Awards 2021 – Clean, affordable and secure energy category. Moving towards an environmentally sustainable future
Latrobe City Council applied a range of clean energy technologies to create energy and prevent emissions, including the installation of a Biogas Generator at the Hyland Highway Landfill. This is an example of applying a circular economy design to an otherwise wasted resource.
The Biogas Generator initiative has the potential to save substantial CO2 emissions over its 20-year lifespan, and will generate clean, low emission energy through utilising captured landfill gas.
