Veolia
Claye-Souilly
Waga Energy and Veolia launched a major biomethane production unit to recover biogas from a landfill in France. Requiring an investment of 10 million Euros, the unit will produce 120 GWh (gigawatt hours) of biogas per year which will be injected into the GRDF network to cover the equivalent annual consumption of 20,000 homes in the region. With its Labeled Solution Wagabox, Waga Energy produces Renewable Natural Gas by upgrading the biogas emitted by the decomposition of organic matter in landfill sites.
The newly implemented installation at Veolia’s site is set to deliver substantial environmental benefits by accounting for an impressive 25,000 tons of CO2 savings. This significant reduction in carbon emissions underscores Veolia’s commitment to sustainability and advancing its efforts to combat climate change. The installation represents a key step in optimizing operations and integrating innovative solutions that reduce the carbon footprint of its processes.
The result of ten years of R&D at Air Liquide and Waga Energy, the WAGABOX® is a breakthrough landfill gas upgrading technology. It combines two upgrading processes: membrane filtration and cryogenic distillation. Membrane filtration removes the carbon dioxide (CO2) and impurities from landfill gas. The gas is then cryogenically cooled to separate the methane (CH4) from the oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2). WAGABOX® technology guarantees grid compliant biomethane regardless of air concentration in landfill gas. It adapts to raw gas flow rates and composition variations and delivers three times more energy than CHP, the most approaching competing technology. Biomethane can be transported and stored using existing gas infrastructure. The solution is fully integrated and is protected worldwide by six patent families.
