Waga Energy is continuing its expansion in Spain with the signing of an agreement with FCC Medio Ambiente for a new biomethane production project in Alhendín, Andalusia.
As part of this project, Waga Energy will finance, build, and operate a landfill gas recovery unit based on its patented WAGABOX® technology. The facility will convert biogas captured at the landfill into biomethane, a renewable natural gas that will be injected directly into the local gas grid.
80 GWh of Biomethane Per Year
The plant will be capable of processing up to 2,400 m³/h of biogas and producing 80 GWh of biomethane annually, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of approximately 16,000 Spanish households.
Once operational, the facility is expected to avoid around 19,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions per year by replacing fossil natural gas with renewable gas produced from waste. The project highlights the potential of biomethane to combine waste recovery, renewable energy production, and decarburization.
Supporting the Circular Economy
This project is part of the Diputación de Granada's strategy to promote more sustainable waste management practices and accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
