Waga Energy Launches New Project in Quebec
Waga Energy and the RMR, owner and operator of the Hébertville-Station landfill serving 50 municipalities in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region and the Mashteuiatsh community, are partnering to launch an RNG production project.
As part of the project, Waga Energy will construct and operate a purification unit, using its patented WAGABOX® technology, to convert landfill gas into RNG, a renewable substitute for fossil-based natural gas. The facility is expected to produce up to 55 GWh of RNG per year (188, 000 MMBtu) —enough to meet the energy needs of 2,280 households. By avoiding the release of roughly 10,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent annually, the project will help reduce the region’s carbon footprint and advance Québec’s climate goals.
