Anaergia launches JV to build $15.6M biogas plant in southern Italy

In Italy, Anaergia srl entered into a joint venture with Tozzi Sud and Isolmec Group, each a significant participant in the construction sector in Italy, to build a new anaerobic digestion facility for BioHold in Basilicata, southern Italy. BioHold is a bioenergy platform jointly controlled by Pietro Fiorentini and the Vesper Next Generation Infrastructure Fund. The project, Ora Biogas, is Anaergia’s first project for BioHold.

The Ora Biogas facility is expected to process a variety of agricultural residues to produce renewable gas. Once operational, it is projected to generate over 47,000 megawatt-hours annually of biomethane, which will be injected into Italy’s gas distribution network. The facility is expected to begin operations by June 2026. The joint venture’s total contract is for approximately C$22 million.
