Helmont Energy is now wholly owned by LMS Energy.
In November 2021, LMS Energy (LMS) acquired a 50% stake in Helmont Energy (Helmont), supporting its growth in the agricultural bioenergy sector. This partnership strengthened in March 2023 when LMS acquired the remaining 50%, fully integrating Helmont into LMS following a mutual agreement by both parties.
The consolidation of Helmont into LMS reflects a shared commitment to reducing the environmental impact of waste while supplying clean energy from bioenergy resources. Helmont’s employees have seamlessly transitioned into LMS, ensuring continuity and expertise in advancing bioenergy solutions.
Helmont’s projects play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and accelerating Australia’s transition to clean energy in hard-to-abate sectors. The focus remains on bioenergy and methane abatement from agricultural waste through anaerobic digestion (AD), converting agricultural feedstocks into renewable energy. This process not only lowers carbon emissions but also creates value for farmers and agri-food businesses, supporting long-term regional development.
Additionally, Helmont holds a 50% investment in Carbon Logica, a company dedicated to methane abatement in the resource sector.
