Anaergia and JGC Holdings Corporation Sign LOI for New RNG Project in Japan

KANAGAWA, Japan & BURLINGTON, Ontario--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia”, the “Company”, “us”, or “our”) (TSX: ANRG), announced that its subsidiary, Anaergia Singapore Pte Ltd., entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) to supply technology and equipment to JGC Holdings Corporation (JGC) for a renewable natural gas (RNG) project.

The equipment to be provided by the Company under the LOI includes Anaergia’s feedstock pretreatment solution, anaerobic digestion with its unique digester design for high throughput and efficiency, and digestate management solution. The facility is expected to take in more than 56,000 tons per year of cow manure and more than 5,000 tons per year of food waste. These organic waste streams are to be converted into approximately 1,700,000 cubic metres per year of biomethane equivalent of renewable natural gas as well as fertilizer.

“Anaergia’s integrated technical solutions will enable JGC to develop a unique facility that will take in two different waste streams and will generate renewal gas that can significantly decarbonize fuel supply,” said Masahiro Aika, Executive Vice President of JGC. “Therefore, this facility will reflect our commitment to enhancing the intertwined health of humans and the Earth,” added Mr. Aika.

“This project is another example of Anaergia’s differentiated capabilities being used to support development of large-scale RNG infrastructure projects,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. “Furthermore, I believe this facility will be an important reference site in Japan, a market in which we see exciting potential,” added Mr. Onn.
