Waga Energy and G2 Energy have joined forces to develop two RNG (Renewable Natural Gas) production projects in the United States. These projects will be based on landfills operated by Recology in California.
These are the first two contracts signed by Waga Energy in the West coast of the US, and are in line with our development strategy in the North American market. These RNG production units bring to 11 the number of projects currently under construction in the United States, in addition to two units already in operation.
Thanks to WAGABOX® technology, these two units will offset the emission of around 70,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent each year. This represents the annual emissions associated with the energy consumption of nearly 8,500 US households, or the greenhouse gas emissions generated by nearly 15,000 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles in the course of a year.
RNG production, scheduled for 2026, will be injected directly into Pacific Gas & Electric’s (PG&E) natural gas network. Currently, the biogas extracted from these sites is valorized in the form of electricity. Its upgrade into RNG, made possible by WAGABOX® technology, will optimize energy yield while offering a local, sustainable and renewable alternative to fossil natural gas.
“At G2 Energy, we are excited to continue our long-term partnership with Recology to find the highest and best use for this landfill gas. Making the most of this waste gas is part of our adoption of a goal of Zero Waste.”
Peter Wachtell, one of the founding members of G2.
“This partnership is a win for our planet and the communities we serve, showing what’s possible when innovation meets purpose. By transforming landfill gas into RNG, we’re reducing emissions, creating clean energy, and advancing Recology’s mission to build a more sustainable future. The completion of these projects will make significant progress towards achieving our goal to use 75% of the landfill gas we collect to generate renewable energy by 2028.”
Salvatore M. Coniglio, Recology Chief Executive Officer
“We are thrilled to partner with G2 Energy and Recology to develop the first two WAGABOX® units in California that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from waste while displacing fossil fuels with a renewable and local source of energy. The RNG produced will directly contribute to California’s decarbonization goals and support the state’s energy transition. We look forward to further expanding our solution throughout California where landfills represent a significant potential for RNG production by leveraging our WAGABOX® technology.”
