Zeotech will initiate an on-site validation trial of its methane emissions control solution at a landfill in North Burnett Regional Council, following a research agreement with Griffith University. This trial, starting in February 2026 and lasting seven months, builds on successful simulated trials completed in May 2025, where the zeoteCH₄ biofilter reduced methane emissions by over 90%.

The trial aims to collect more than 800 data points to optimize methane elimination rates in real-world conditions. Zeotech emphasizes the need for effective methane capture solutions, as most of Australia's 1,168 landfills lack the necessary infrastructure. The company aims to demonstrate the commercial viability of its technology to assist in meeting Australia's emissions reduction targets.
