C-Loop transforms organic waste into renewable energy and valuable co-products through our innovative biorefinery process.

Through the C-Loop model, we can transform how existing energy and waste infrastructure are managed, transforming assets from linear processing streams to a fully circular Biorefineries. These solutions lead to a more sustainable asset base longer term.

About the Gippsland Biorefinery:-

C-Loop's foundation project sits in the La Trobe Valley in Victoria, about 180 km east of Melbourne. Situated in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, spanning both the La Trobe City and Wellington Shires, and part of the broader Gippsland region, it is known for its coal fired power stations and traditional agricultural base. Historically known for its dairy industry, the area has recently diversified to include poultry farming, broadacre cropping and intensive horticulture due to the recent decline in the diary sector locally.
