AGL owns and operates several renewable landfill gas and biogas (sewage) generation facilities across Australia.
In addition to generating renewable energy, these facilities help to further reduce greenhouse gases by capturing and destroying methane (a greenhouse gas 21 times stronger than carbon dioxide).
