There are several opportunities available for the mitigation of greenhouse gases for the project. Work is well advanced on developing opportunities to beneficially utilise this methane gas resource. Energy generated from methane capture could be fed into the state’s high voltage distribution system. Alternatively, the gas could be fed directly into the existing gas distribution systems for use by others.

These options, along with other initiatives to offset the emission of greenhouse gases, will be included in an overall Sustainability package for the project. This will cover other offsets and enduring benefits such as ecological, social and economic.
