Waga Energy, global leader in producing biomethane from waste
A world-class player in producing biomethane from waste, since its foundation in 2015, Waga Energy has been committed to playing a key role in the energy transition and the fight against climate change, by replacing fossil natural gas and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The success of our project depends above all on long-term partnerships based on mutual trust and shared fundamental values with leading players in the waste management and energy sectors.
Whether they are with local and regional authorities around the world or with international leaders in waste management and recovery, these partnerships are much more than collaborations: they are long-term commitments, based on the desire to jointly build a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
Convinced that biomethane is a pillar of the energy transition, we believe in the power of these alliances to create a better world, by transforming our waste into a resource, considerably reducing greenhouse gas emissions and offering a renewable alternative to fossil fuels that is accessible to as many people as possible.
Committed to preserving the common good
Waga Energy is an accelerator of the energy transition, whose mission is to make biomethane available to as many people as possible, with the aim of preserving a habitable planet for future generations.
To achieve this, all our employees, partners and stakeholders are committed to working alongside us to provide an effective and immediate solution for using the world’s ever-growing volume of waste, and to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This founding commitment has shaped the values that guide our development:
DARING,
vital to create cutting-edge technology and develop a company that is blazing a new trail in the fight against global warming;
MASTERY,
to transform ground-breaking innovation into a robust, high-performance industrial solution that guarantees safety and long-term profitability for all our stakeholders;
COOPERATION,
between our teams and with our leading partners in waste management and recovery, local and regional authorities, investors, environmental agencies, etc. and, more generally, with all our partners in an ecosystem committed to a sustainable energy mix.
360° innovation for continuous,
global improvement
The ground-breaking WAGABOX® technology, developed and patented by Waga Energy, removes the technological and industrial obstacles to converting landfill gas from waste storage sites into biomethane.
This innovative solution, which is now being deployed on a large scale thanks to an industrialised standardised product model, offers optimum economic, energy and environmental performance, and can be adapted to both small and large landfill sites.
Producing over 98% pure biomethane, WAGABOX® purification units make it possible to inject renewable gas directly into gas distribution networks, thereby replacing fossil natural gas and considerably reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Waga Energy always considers the safety and quality of its processes to be paramount and develops its business on the basis of innovation and continuous improvement, as part of a process of international certification to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISCC EU standards, obtained in 2023.
Our R&D engineers continuously optimise the production of biomethane and the productivity of the solution, by increasing the skills of our international teams and monitoring the hundreds of performance sensors installed on fully automated and remotely controlled WAGABOX® units in operation.
This policy of continuous innovation also makes our production costs more competitive, underpinning our ambition to produce biomethane at a price comparable to biomethane all over the world, in order to accelerate the energy transition against a backdrop of urgent climate change.
