In operation since July 2026, the facility captures the gas naturally released by decomposing waste at the Decatur Hills Landfill, previously flared, and upgrades it into RNG for the local community. At full capacity, it can process up to 1,000 standard cubic feet per minute of landfill gas and produce approximately 203,000 MMBtu of RNG per year.

By displacing fossil natural gas, the facility is expected to avoid more than 15,800 metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions annually, the same amount of CO₂ emitted by consuming roughly 1.4 million gallons of diesel fuel.¹

The RNG is injected into the CenterPoint local natural gas distribution network through a nearly 2-mile interconnection financed by Waga Energy and Decatur Hills Landfill, and is sold to U.S. Energy for delivery to end markets.

Developed under a long-term partnership, the project was financed and built by Waga Energy, which will own and operate the facility for at least 20 years. Decatur Hills Landfill performed the site's development.

The ceremony brought together local and state officials, community members, and project partners to celebrate a project that supports renewable energy production, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and local economic development in Decatur County.

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 RNG, a renewable natural gas that will be injected directly into the local gas grid.

The plant will be capable of processing up to 2,400 m³/h of biogas and producing 80 GWh of RNG annually, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of approximately 16,000 Spanish households.

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.

In H1 2026, Group capex reached € 57m, free cashflow after interest -€ 67m, and net result -€ 12.4m,
due to the Wagabox® portfolio expansion. Waga Energy has maintained a high-performance level in H1 2026, achieving an average availability of 94% for units that have been in operation for more than 12 months.

To date, Waga Energy operates 38 RNG production units in France, Spain, Canada and the United States, offering an installed capacity of 2.1 TWh (7.1 million MMBtu) p.a., and 21 units are under construction in the United States, Spain, Italy, France, Canada and Brazil (with a 1st project for a 3,000 scfm Wagabox® recently signed), representing an additional installed capacity of 2.3 TWh (7.8 million MMBtu) p.a.

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.”
