New Waga Energy biomethane facility in New York state ramps up production
In New York state, the new biomethane production facility developed by Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy at the Hyland Landfill in Angelica, New York, is now operational. Using Waga Energy’s patented WAGABOX® technology, the facility upgrades landfill gas into pipeline-quality biomethane. With an installed processing capacity of 3,000 SCFM, it can generate up to 610,000 MMBtu (180 GWh) of biomethane annually, making it one of the largest biomethane production units in Waga Energy’s U.S. portfolio.
The biomethane produced on-site is injected directly into the Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage network, providing the region with a renewable alternative to fossil natural gas. According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, the project is expected to avoid approximately 47,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions per year.
The Hyland facility is the second of three biomethane projects jointly developed by Casella and Waga Energy to enter operation, following the startup of the Chemung County facility earlier this year.
