Waga Energy Secures Contract for RNG Production in Oregon

Waga Energy has been chosen to build, own, operate, and maintain a renewable natural gas (RNG) production unit at the Short Mountain Landfill in Eugene, Oregon. This is in partnership with Lane County and the Emerald People’s Utility District (EPUD). The facility aims to produce approximately 407,000 MMBtu of RNG annually using Waga Energy's patented WAGABOX® technology.

This project signifies a shift from electricity generation at the landfill to RNG production. Previously, EPUD generated 3 MW of electricity from landfill gas. Now, the transition to RNG is expected to reduce 31,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Additionally, it will deliver pipeline-quality RNG to the local community, enhancing energy reliability and supporting the circular economy.

The partnership between Lane County, EPUD, and Waga Energy is an example of public and private sector collaboration. It emphasizes the shared commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative energy solutions.
