Casella and Waga Energy start RNG facility at Hyland Landfill
Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy have started operations at their renewable natural gas facility at the Hyland Landfill in Angelica, New York. The facility uses Waga Energy's WAGABOX technology to upgrade landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG, with an installed processing capacity of 3,000 SCFM that can generate up to 610,000 MMBtu of renewable gas annually. It is the second of three RNG projects developed by the two companies to enter operation, following the Chemung County facility. The RNG is injected into the Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage network and is expected to avoid 47,000 tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions each year. Under the agreement, Waga Energy funded construction and will own and operate the facility for 20 years, with both companies sharing revenue from RNG sales.
