Australia turned food scraps into biogas at EarthPower; the result powered 4,000 homes while processing 62,500 tonnes of food waste and producing soil improver in Sydney

Every year, major metropolitan hubs produce hundreds of thousands of tonnes of organic waste, a significant portion of which ends up decaying in municipal landfills where it generates potent greenhouse gas emissions. In Sydney, the industrial suburb of Camellia, tucked along a bend of the Parramatta River, offers a practical blueprint for intercepting this waste stream before it reaches the dump. The EarthPower facility was designed around a straightforward premise: treat food refuse not as a liability to be buried, but as a rich source of raw bioenergy.
