Notes
Plant-specific greenfield construction cost was not found in available sources. Capex uses AEMO/GHD 2025 hypothetical landfill gas benchmark ($5,100/kW EPC) multiplied by 12 MW; this is an estimate, not a reported project cost. Clayton is an operating 12 MW landfill gas station commissioned in 1995. EDL reports ~53 GWh/year generation and operation with 11 Jenbacher 320 engines plus 1 Caterpillar engine.
