Veolia and Waga Energy Commission a 6th Renewable Natural Gas Production Unit
Waga Energy, a global expert in the production of Renewable Natural Gas from landfills, and Veolia, a global leader in water, waste and energy management solutions, have commissioned an RNG production unit at the Granges landfill in Burgundy (eastern France). The landfill is operated by Veolia’s subsidiary, Valest.
Thanks to the WAGABOX® technology, developed by Waga Energy, the gas spontaneously emitted by on-site landfilled waste is upgraded into RNG, a renewable substitute for fossil-based natural gas. The RNG is directly injected into the natural gas distribution network to supply households and businesses. Capable of purifying 375 Scfm (600m3/h) of raw gas and producing up to 85,300 MMBtu (25 GWh) of RNG per year, the unit can supply more than 3,000 homes while preventing emissions of around 3,300 tons of CO2 eq. per year into the atmosphere.
