Lane County, in partnership with Emerald People’s Utility District (EPUD), has selected Waga Energy to build, own, operate, and maintain a renewable natural gas (RNG) production unit at the Short Mountain Landfill in Eugene, Oregon. When in operation, the plant is designed to produce about 407,000 MMBtu of RNG per year.
Over the last several decades, Emerald People’s Utility District (EPUD) has generated electricity from the landfill gas at Short Mountain Landfill at a capacity of 3 MW. EPUD selected Waga Energy to generate RNG, replacing the engines at the site. Lane County agreed with EPUDs recommendation: to select Waga Energy, a global leader in the production of renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfills, to upgrade the landfill gas into pipeline-quality RNG at Short Mountain Landfill in Eugene for an initial 25-year period. The plant will utilize the WAGABOX® technology, developed and patented by Waga Energy. Once operational, it is able to process up to 2,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of landfill gas and produce about 407,000 MMBtu (120 GWh) of RNG per year, delivering gas to the local pipeline.
