Site visit to Logan City Water Gasification project

Logan Water has pioneered an Australian-first – a facility which transforms human waste, or biosolids, into renewable energy and a sustainable product called biochar.  Operational cost savings and carbon credits are expected to return almost $1 million a year to the City of Logan, and a new revenue stream will be created from biochar sales. Biosolids gasification will destroy chemicals in biosolids like persistent organic pollutants, and micro and nano-plastics. Carbon emissions will be reduced by more than 6,000 tonnes a year. Biochar contains nutrients like those found in commercial slow release fertilisers; making it great for healthy soil and plants. Biochar can also be added to soil, asphalt, concrete and bricks to sequester carbon for thousands of years. This $28 million project was funded by Council with a $6.2 million grant from ARENA.
