Anaergia Inc. (TSX: ANRG) announced today that its subsidiary, Anaergia Technologies, LLC, has secured an equipment supply contract with the City of Riverside, California. This contract involves installing infrastructure at the Riverside Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) to facilitate the reception of organic municipal waste from local solid waste collection companies. This waste will be diverted from landfills and sent to the RWQCP’s anaerobic digesters for conversion into renewable natural gas (RNG).
Valued at approximately C$13.3 million, the contract is supported by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to enhance the state’s organic waste recycling infrastructure. In a separate agreement announced in August 2024, Anaergia Technologies is also upgrading the RWQCP’s anaerobic digestion system.
“Adding this infrastructure will enable the City of Riverside to enhance our environmental stewardship while meeting California’s SB 1383 regulations for organic waste recycling and reducing costs,” said Ed Filadelfia, Deputy Director of Public Works for the City of Riverside. “This is another important step in our efforts to further reduce our municipality’s carbon footprint and improve resiliency.”
“Providing this infrastructure supports the City of Riverside in reducing its carbon footprint while improving infrastructure and meeting organic waste recycling requirements,” said Assaf Onn, Anaergia’s CEO. “This project continues Anaergia’s successful model of retrofitting municipal wastewater treatment plants with our technology, leveraging the growing demand for RNG backed by government incentives.”
