Empowering Italy’s Energy Transition: Turning Landfill Gas into Clean RNG

Thanks to a unique combination of two purification technologies, WAGABOX® units produce RNG that is 100% suitable for injection into the natural gas grid, enabling direct substitution of fossil gas and immediate reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Landfill gas composition can fluctuate greatly depending on waste type, landfill age, and operating conditions. WAGABOX® technology is designed to adapt seamlessly to these variations. Its robust engineering ensures stable performance and continuous operation even when gas quality and flow rate change, guaranteeing reliable RNG production over time.

By efficiently capturing and upgrading landfill gas, WAGABOX® solution minimizes fugitive methane emissions — one of the most potent greenhouse gases. Injected RNG can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil gas, while use as bio-CNG in transport can lower CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, fine particles by 95%, and NOx by 50% compared to diesel or gasoline.

This makes WAGABOX® technology a cornerstone solution for municipalities and landfill operators seeking to contribute to Italy’s climate goals and circular economy targets.

Beyond its environmental benefits, WAGABOX® technology brings a clear economic advantage. By combining superior energy recovery with exceptional operational reliability, the technology maximizes biomethane output and revenue from landfill sites — outperforming other biogas valorization solutions currently available on the market.

For Italian landfill operators, this means turning an underused resource into a profitable, sustainable energy stream, while supporting the country’s ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 (according to Italian government).

Collaboration with local stakeholders is fundamental, as each project is developed through dialogue with landfill operators, public authorities, regulators, consultants, and local suppliers.

Waga Energy fully finances, builds, and operates its units over the long term, removing upfront investment burdens for local partners.

This shared approach improves the environmental performance of landfill sites by reducing diffuse emissions and odor impacts, while enhancing safety and site quality.

Together, we turn an environmental challenge into tangible benefits for local communities, supporting the country’s ecological transition.
