Hillsborough County has selected Waga Energy to upgrade the landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG at the Southeast County Landfill in Lithia. The plant will utilize the WAGABOX® technology, developed and patented by Waga Energy. Once operational, it will be able to process up to 3,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of landfill gas and produce over 180 GWh of RNG per year, delivering gas to the local pipeline for at least 20 years.
The project is expected to reduce up to 47,500 tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions annually due to the displacement of fossil fuels—equivalent to avoiding the CO₂ emissions from 4.2 million gallons of diesel consumed. By producing pipeline-quality RNG, the project supports the circular economy and reduces reliance on fossil fuels with a local, reliable and renewable source of energy provided to the community.
“We are proud to be partnering with Hillsborough County on this major project, and deploying our first WAGABOX® unit in Florida near our U.S. commercial headquarters. Together, we are turning landfill gas into RNG, a clean, local, renewable energy, and taking concrete action towards energy resilience and the decarbonization of the gas infrastructure for Florida’s communities.”
