Steuben County, Waga Energy and Corning Natural Gas officially inaugurate an innovative RNG production unit at the Bath Landfill in New York

 

On Thursday May 16th, 2024, Kelly Fitzpatrick, Chairwoman of Steuben County, Guénaël Prince, CEO of Waga Energy Inc., and Mike German, CEO of Corning Natural Gas, inaugurated the first WAGABOX Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production unit at the Steuben County Landfill in Bath, New York. Approximately 80 people attended the ceremony, which included a tour of the WAGABOX facility and a tour of the landfill.

 

 This WAGABOX unit commenced operations on March 15th, 2024, and will deliver up to 207,000 MMBtu (60 GWh) of RNG annually into the Corning Natural Gas network. The RNG produced replaces fossil derived fuels and is supplying the equivalent of 4,000 households annually with clean, local, and renewable energy, avoiding an estimated 13,500 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year. Corning Natural Gas, the local gas utility servicing the region, constructed the gas interconnect for this project and accepts the gas produced into its existing gas distribution system.

 

Steuben County is the first municipality in the United States to utilize Waga Energy’s WAGABOX technology to upgrade its landfill gas into RNG. A result of 15 years of research and development, the WAGABOX technology revolutionizes landfill gas upgrading through cryogenics. It maximizes the renewable energy production of landfills by producing pipeline-quality RNG, regardless of the landfill gas variations in flow rate and nitrogen concentration. Waga Energy now operates 23 WAGABOX units worldwide with 14 more under construction.
