The company maintains more than 2000 hectares of prescribed native vegetation, with native flora plantings establishing a native insectarium to attract a diverse range of beneficial insects to counter invasive pests. Beekeepers are also allowed access to the area.

“We are committed to achieving positive environmental outcomes and playing our role in progressing a circular economy,” Peter days. “Our work with Lavo reflects ourcommitmenttoprogressing
environmentally-focused partnerships that promote a sustainable relationship with the land we operate on.”
Duxton has set the target to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2030 and to maintain a carbon negative agricultural asset portfolio thereafter.
Under the MoU, Lavo and Duxton will collaborate on a pilot project which will utilise Lavo’s cornerstone product, the Lavo System, across its vineyards and winery assets. The overarching aim of the pilot will be to determine how Lavo can work within and support Duxton’s ecosystem vision for a “negative carbon” winery on a long-termbasis.
Following the pilot, the two will work together to develop and implement an expanded strategy for hydrogen storage solutions across Duxton’s operations and its agricultural asset portfolio.
Yu says the MoU allows Lavo to put its ambitions to build the next generation of energy storage in Australia into practice. “Reliable, affordable and sustainable power generation and supply is one of the biggest challenges facing governments, businesses and individuals today,” he says.
For both companies, the partnership is another step forward in Australia’s shift to a greenerfuture. ✷
