Waga Energy has been awarded financial aid of CA$15m ($10.8m) from Quebec’s Ministry of Economy, Innovation, and Energy for a biomethane production project.

It will finance part of the construction of a unit at the Hébertville station landfill in Quebec, owned and operated by the Régie des matières résiduelles du Lac-Saint-Jean, the waste management authority. It marks the final stage of the project which was signed in November 2024.

Waga Energy will use its patented Wagabox technology to convert biogas generated from waste into biomethane. The landfill has an annual capacity of 203,500 tonnes.

The equipment will produce up to 188,000 MMBtu/year (55 GWh/year), which corresponds to the energy consumption of approximately 2,900 households.
