Chester County Solid Waste Authority Chooses Waga Energy to Produce RNG at the LLARC Landfill

 

Waga Energy (Euronext Paris: FR0012532810; EPA: WAGA), a global expert in the production of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) from landfills, signed a commercial agreement with the Chester County Solid Waste Authority to produce RNG at its Lanchester Landfill and Reclamation Center (LLARC) site, located in Narvon, PA, USA. The contract was signed on October 4th following a competitive selection process.
 

As part of this agreement, Waga Energy will fund the construction of an RNG facility using its patented WAGABOX technology, to upgrade landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG. Waga Energy will operate the facility for an initial 20-year term, sharing revenues with Chester County Solid Waste Authority, an intergovernmental solid waste management agency which operates the LLARC site.
 

The WAGABOX unit will process up to 2,000 scfm (3,200 m3/h) of landfill gas to produce over 450,000 MMBtu (130 GWh/y) of RNG per year. The low carbon RNG produced by the LLARC WAGABOX will avoid over 27,000 tons of eqCO2 per year, compared to using fossil fuels, equivalent to avoiding emissions from 2.8 million gallons of gasoline per year, based on the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) calculation methodology[1].
 

The LLARC Landfill receives around 280,000 tons of waste per year. The resulting landfill gas is already captured to prevent direct methane emissions to the atmosphere. Once operational, the WAGABOX facility will optimize the energy recovered, providing the local community with clean, local and renewable energy, using the existing infrastructure.
