About Waga Energy, Inc.

Waga Energy, Inc. has developed a breakthrough technology to recover landfill gas into biomethane, also called Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Our WAGABOX® landfill gas upgrading units deliver high-quality biomethane, regardless of the quality of the raw biogas. The biomethane produced by the WAGABOX® can be injected directly into the gas grid or used as fuel for vehicles. Waga Energy builds, owns, operates, and maintains the WAGABOX® units under long-term contracts with landfill owners, and biomethane sales revenue is shared.

Upgrading landfill gas - a waste-management byproduct - positions Waga Energy to provide the most competitively priced biomethane on the market for end customers. For large-capacity landfills, WAGABOX® can offer grid parity with natural gas.

WAGABOX® units have a double impact to help fight climate change: they capture landfills gas - a major source of greenhouse gas emissions - and produce a renewable substitute for fossil-based natural gas. Each new WAGABOX® unit marks additional progress toward a true energy transition and toward protecting our environment.
