France-headed landfill gas (LFG) to biomethane technology provider Waga Energy SA, has announced that it has signed a commercial agreement with Decatur Hills Landfill, one of the landfills associated with Best Way Disposal, a US-based family-owned waste management company based in Kalamazoo, Michigan (MI) to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) at the landfill located in Greensburg, Indiana (IN).

As part of this agreement, Waga Energy will fund the construction of an RNG production facility using its patented WAGABOX technology, to upgrade landfill gas (LFG) into pipeline-quality RNG.

Waga Energy will operate the RNG facility for a 20-year initial term, supporting the landfill’s commitment to optimizing methane capture and maximizing renewable energy production.

Once commercial operations are achieved in 2025, the WAGABOX unit will deliver over 200,000 MMBtu (55 GWh) of RNG per year.

Production will be injected directly into the local natural gas grid through a dedicated interconnect to be built as part of the project.

The Decatur Hills Landfill WAGABOX unit will process up to 1,000 scfm (1,600 m3/h) of LFG into RNG with an estimated environmental benefit of avoiding over 13,700 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent CO2eq annually.

A key pillar for the energy transition, RNG is local and renewable energy that can substitute fossil-based fuels in transportation, industry, and heating.
