ReOrganic energy
Our ReOrganic Energy is one of the largest waste-to-energy projects in Australia.
By using landfill gas from a nearby waste disposal to supplement black coal at Swanbank B Power Station, ReOrganic Energy reduces methane emissions and displaces a significant amount of coal-fired power generation.
The project pipes gas produced at Thiess Services' Swanbank Landfill to Swanbank B and co-fires it with coal in one of the power station's boilers. This generates 5 MW of electricity continuously and reduces annual greenhouse emissions by approximately 150,000 tonnes.
Since its inception in 2002, ReOrganic Energy has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 780,000 tonnes.
ReOrganic Energy is a collaboration between CS Energy, Thiess Services, Landfill Management Services and New Hope Energy. The Australian Greenhouse Office, under the Renewable Energy Commercialisation Program, provided a significant funding contribution of $1 million for ReOrganic Energy.
