The three WAGABOX units will initially produce approximately 1 300 000 MMBtu (380 GWh) of renewable natural gas (RNG) and save an estimated 90 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2eq) emissions per annum.
Working with Waga Energy is a great opportunity for our company to further enhance our strategy around resource management and sustainability. We have been impressed by Waga Energy’s innovation and technology platform and believe that they are a strong partner to help develop RNG capacity at these three facilities, said John W. Casella, Chairman and CEO of Casella Waste Systems.
RNG, a key pillar for the energy transition, is a local, renewable, and competitive energy source that can substitute fossil-based fuels in transportation, industry, and heating.
As part of the commercial agreement, Waga Energy will deploy the capital required to fully fund the construction of three RNG units, using its patented WAGABOX technology, and will own and operate them for 20 years.
Commercial operations are expected to start in approximately 24 months given the timeline for permitting and construction.
It is an immense honor to partner with Casella, a highly respected leader in the waste management industry in the United States. The months of work carried out between our teams to develop these sites have allowed us to discover an organization with a clear mission, rooted in the territories where Casella operates and committed to the preservation of the common good. These shared values between our companies are an essential foundation for the success of these circular economy projects and lasting collaboration. This partnership is a major step in the global deployment of the WAGABOX solution, for the energy transition and the fight against climate change, said Mathieu Lefebvre, Chairman and CEO of Waga Energy.
