Context

Waga Energy is the leading European biomethane producer from landfill gas. The Company upgrades the landfill gas through a patented proprietary technology to produce a cost-competitive and grid-compliant biomethane

Waga Energy develops standardized and modular solutions, ie WAGABOX® units, ready to be deployed on a worldwide scale (Europe, US, Australia & Latin America)

Waga Energy contributes to the fight against climate change by cutting methane emissions from landfills and substituting fossil fuels by a local and renewable energy. Founded in 2015, the Company already benefits from an outstanding track record with 10 WAGABOX® units in operation and 10 in construction. Waga Energy ambitions a massive deployment of its solution to reach 100 WAGABOX® in operation by 2026

The proceeds will be used to reinforce business development capacities to accelerate the international expansion of the Company, and to finance the equity of the SPVs that carry the WAGABOX® units

About Waga Energy

Waga Energy was founded in 2015 in Meylan, right at the centre of the Grenoble innovation ecosystem, by three engineers from the Air Liquide group. Building on 15 years of Research & Development, Waga Energy has developed a disruptive technology for the recovery of gas from waste storage sites, called WAGABOX®. WAGABOX® units are installed on storage sites and purify the biogas produced as organic matter breaks down and transform it into biomethane, a renewable substitute for fossil natural gas. This by-product from treatment of our waste is therefore transformed into clean, local and renewable energy. Biomethane can be stored and transported in existing gas infrastructures, with be used in a number of ways, including for heating, transport, industry, etc.

Waga Energy operates 10 WAGABOX® units in France, on storage sites run by industrial players and local authorities. These units, which offer a maximum installed capacity of 225 GWh/year, can power around 35,000 homes and avoid the emission of 45,000 tonnes of CO2e per year into the atmosphere (i.e. the annual emissions of around 17,000 cars). 10 new WAGABOX® units are under construction, including one in Spain and two in Canada, which will bring the maximum installed capacity to 475 GWh/year within 18 months. Waga Energy has three international subsidiaries, in the United States (Philadelphia and Pennsylvania), Canada (Shawinigan and Quebec) and Spain (Barcelona). Waga Energy considers itself to be the European leader in the production of biomethane from landfill gas.
