Anaergia’s subsidiary, Anaergia Technologies, has entered into an equipment supply contract with the City of Riverside, California, to install infrastructure at the Riverside Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) to enable reception of organic municipal waste from local solid waste collection companies.
Consequently, such waste would be diverted from landfills and sent to the RWQCP’s anaerobic digestors to be converted into renewable natural gas (RNG).
This contract, for approximately C$13.3 million (€8.8 million), is supported by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to accelerate the growth of California’s organic waste recycling infrastructure.
Under the terms of a separate contract with the City of Riverside announced in August this year, 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, improve resiliency, and reduce costs,” added Filadelfia.
“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 and repeatable model of retrofitting municipal wastewater treatment plants with our technology that leverages growing RNG demand backed by government incentives,” added Onn.
