Monflanquin Landfill Produces Renewable Gas with WAGABOX® Technology
The WAGABOX® unit at the Monflanquin landfill in Southwestern France, has started operations, injecting Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) into the local gas network. The project is a partnership between Waga Energy and Biogaz Monflanquin (a joint venture between Valorizon and AVERGIES), marking a major step in the regional energy transition.
Renewable Gas Production and Environmental Benefits
The Monflanquin WAGABOX® unit will produce approximately 43 200 GJ per year, enough to supply 2,000 households. This renewable gas will prevent roughly 3,200 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions annually.
Supporting Renewable Mobility and Regional Energy Independence
The locally produced RNG can fuel Bio-CNG vehicles through the Témob station network, supporting decarbonization of heavy-duty transport. The project is backed by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and Territoire d’Énergie, strengthening the region’s renewable gas sector.
“The partnership between SEM AVERGIES and the waste management union VALORIZON has enabled the establishment of a renewable energy production unit, in line with our shared goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening the territory’s energy autonomy. I would like to commend the commitment of WAGA ENERGY, whose rigor, technical expertise, and adherence to deadlines demonstrate the strength of a French player that has become a global benchmark in its field.”
Pascal de Sermet, CEO of SEM Avergies
“Our slogan—our waste is a resource—takes on its full meaning here. By recovering biogas from landfill waste to produce local renewable energy, we are creating value for the community while consolidating the resources necessary for our public service mission. This project aligns with our local economic development goals and environmental commitments through the production of clean, sustainable energy.”
Ludovic Biasotto, President of Valorizon
“The startup of this WAGABOX® unit just thirteen months after the contract signing demonstrates the industrial expertise of our teams. We are delighted with this collaboration with Valorizon and Avergies, local players committed to renewable energy, with whom we work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to our partners’ engagement and WAGABOX® technology, the Monflanquin landfill now supplies the region with local, decarbonized energy.”
