This project will transform landfill gas into a renewable, local energy source that can be directly injected into the gas grid.

Under a long-term agreement, Waga Energy will finance, build, own, and operate an RNG production unit with an initial processing capacity of 3,000 SCFM.

The WAGABOX® unit will produce approximately 610,000 MMBtu of RNG per year and avoid the emission of around 47,500 tons of CO₂ equivalent per year by replacing fossil natural gas — the equivalent of CO₂ emissions from consuming approximately 4.2 million gallons of diesel.

The Eco-Hill Landfill, owned and operated by one of LRS’s affiliated companies, currently accepts more than 1 million metric tons of municipal solid waste per year, most of it collected in the greater Chicago area.

With this new project, Waga Energy continues its expansion in the United States and reaffirms its commitment to supporting local communities by transforming landfill gas into a valuable energy resource that benefits both territories and the climate.

At the heart of the facility is Waga Energy’s patented WAGABOX® technology, which upgrades landfill gas into Renewable Natural Gas that meets pipeline specifications.

Designed to process up to 2,000 standard cubic feet of landfill gas per minute, the facility is expected to produce as much as 407,000 MMBtu of RNG annually. Output will increase progressively as additional landfill gas becomes available from the site over time.

The renewable gas generated at McKean is delivered directly into the National Fuel Gas network, helping supply homes and businesses with a locally produced source of renewable energy.

Landfills continuously generate methane-rich gas as organic materials decompose. Rather than allowing this resource to go unused, RNG projects capture and upgrade the gas so it can be injected into existing natural gas infrastructure and used in a variety of applications.

According to EPA methodology, the McKean project is expected to prevent approximately 31,000 metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions each year, while supporting the transition toward lower-carbon energy systems.

McKean is the third RNG facility developed through the collaboration between Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy. Its commissioning follows the successful startup of the Chemung County and Hyland facilities earlier in 2026.

Together, the three projects fulfill the development program announced by the two companies in 2023 and illustrate a shared commitment to expanding renewable gas production from landfill sites.

Under the partnership model, Waga Energy financed, built, and now operates the facilities, while both companies benefit from the revenue generated through RNG sales. The approach aligns the interests of both partners over the long term and supports the continued development of renewable energy infrastructure.

Waga Energy and Decatur Hills Landfill, part of the family-owned waste management group Best Way Disposal, have commissioned a new Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production unit in Greensburg, Indiana.

Using Waga Energy’s patented WAGABOX® technology, the facility upgrades landfill gas into pipeline-quality Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Designed to process up to 1,000 scfm of raw biogas, the unit can produce approximately 203,000 MMBtu (60 GWh) of RNG per year.

The RNG produced on-site is injected directly into the local gas grid through a 3-kilometer pipeline connection financed by Waga Energy and Decatur Hills Landfill. By replacing fossil natural gas, the project is expected to avoid more than 15,800 metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions per year, according to estimates based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Landfill Gas Energy Benefits Calculator.

The facility is Waga Energy’s eighth RNG production unit in operation in the United States and marks a new step in the company’s continued growth across North America.

“Decatur Hills is very excited to be part of this great clean energy project. It has taken a long time to find the right partner, and we think that Waga Energy has some unique solutions that will bring this resource from the landfill to the energy grid as a sustainable, renewable fuel.”
