Anaergia Inc., via its subsidiary Anaergia S.r.l., has entered into agreements with companies under QGM S.á.r.l. (QGM) to construct two biomethane production facilities in northern Italy. Located in Copparo and Derovere, these plants will rely on Anaergia S.r.l. as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor. The facilities will utilize advanced equipment to produce biomethane, aligning with Italy’s efforts toward sustainability and reduced carbon emissions.

The plants will employ Anaergia’s innovative anaerobic digestion technology, transforming agricultural waste into renewable biomethane. Each facility is designed to process over 50,000 metric tons of organic waste annually, yielding more than 4 million cubic meters of methane per hour. This output will contribute to Italy’s renewable energy supply by connecting to the national gas pipeline grid. Construction is slated for completion by mid-2026, with the contracts valued at over C$46 million for Anaergia.

Diego Biasi, co-founder and CEO of Quercus Real Assets Limited (Quercus), a QGM partner, emphasized their focus on responsible investment: “Quercus leadership is committed to investing responsibly in order to achieve strong and sustainable income and capital returns while maintaining a carbon-positive approach. We are therefore enthusiastic about partnering in these two new facilities.” This reflects their dedication to environmentally sound projects.

Similarly, Danilo Fumarola, CEO and founder of Elionia Limited (Elionia), another QGM partner, highlighted their priorities: “Sustainability and the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries are deeply ingrained in the values of Elionia, and we are thrilled that these two new facilities will positively influence Italy’s future, both environmentally and in terms of energy supply.” The projects underscore a shared vision for a greener energy landscape.

Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia, praised Italy’s role in renewable energy: “Italy has emerged as a global leader in converting organic waste into renewable energy. With the development of these two significant facilities, QGM becomes a leading developer of sustainable projects in this vital market.” The initiative strengthens Italy’s position in sustainable energy productionposteriori production.

These facilities will not only enhance local energy production but also support broader environmental goals. The biomethane produced will serve as a renewable resource, reducing reliance on traditional fuels and aiding in decarbonization efforts across multiple sectors.
