Casella Waste Systems, Inc., a regional solid waste, recycling, and resource management services company, and Waga Energy, a global expert in the production of renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfills, announced the signing of a commercial agreement on July 10, 2023 to develop renewable natural gas facilities at three Casella landfills. As part of the commercial agreement, Waga Energy will deploy the capital required to fully fund construction of the projects and will own and operate the RNG infrastructure. Casella and Waga Energy will share in the revenue generated from the RNG facilities once operational.
Commercial operations are expected to start in approximately 24 months given the timeline for permitting and construction. The initial production across these three sites is expected to total approximately 1,300,000 MMBtu per year of RNG.
