Veolia Secures $34 Million Contract to Advance Biogas Transformation in San Francisco
Key to the project is Veolia’s state-of-the-art MemGas™ technology, which will convert biogas generated by the plant into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas (RNG). Upon completion, the system will produce enough energy to meet natural gas needs equivalent to around 3,800 homes annually, or approximately 68 gigawatt-hours of energy per year. The facility is expected to begin operations by June 2027, supporting local decarbonization goals and showcasing the circular economy in action.
“This project fulfills our commitments for beneficial use of the biogas generated at the Southeast Treatment Plant, supports California’s state goals for in-state production and distribution of renewable natural gas, and aligns with the City’s sustainability objectives,” said Daniela Brandao, Senior Project Manager at SFPUC.
