At the foundation of every project, Waga Energy conducts a thorough assessment of the landfill’s RNG potential. By combining detailed site information, waste characterization, and our unique expertise in developing landfill gas to RNG injection projects, we generate a robust forecast of landfill gas generation and RNG output over the coming years. This analysis ensures the optimal sizing of the WAGABOX® unit and delivers clear technical and economic recommendations to maximize gas recovery, long term revenue, and environmental performance for our partners.
Waga Energy works closely with landfill operators to design a tailored landfill‑gas‑to‑biomethane injection solution. We analyze all technical, regulatory, and commercial parameters – including grid connection, WAGABOX® unit sizing, permitting, and biomethane sales – to ensure the project is optimized from the outset. This comprehensive development phase lays the foundation for a transparent, mutually beneficial long‑term partnership, with contractual commitments based on a clear and robust understanding of the project.
With Waga Energy’s turnkey model, landfill operators can unlock the value of their gas with no upfront investment. Waga Energy fully finances the project and assumes all capital expenditures, taking charge of every stage – from design and installation to start‑up and long‑term operation. This approach enables reliable, long‑term revenue from biomethane with no financial risk for the operator. All financial models are validated by leading banks and independent auditors, ensuring transparency and long‑term security.
Each WAGABOX® project is led by a dedicated team working closely with the landfill operator from construction through commissioning. Waga Energy pre assembles and tests the equipment in its workshops while managing the balance of plant and grid interconnections – significantly shortening construction time and accelerating start up. Once delivered, the equipment is connected to the landfill gas capture system, the electrical supply, and the local gas grid. Expert supervised pre commissioning and commissioning ensure a safe, reliable start up and a seamless transition to RNG injection.
Waga Energy ensures the long term performance of every WAGABOX® unit through advanced automation, real time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, and continuous R&D innovation. All units are fully automated and supervised 24/7 from our control centers in France, Canada, and the United States, with regional technicians able to respond on site in under two hours. Each system benefits from ongoing performance and safety upgrades developed by our R&D teams.
Once the WAGABOX® unit is operational, Waga Energy’s Energy Team takes over to manage biomethane sales and market performance. Leveraging deep market expertise, we secure long-term offtake agreements at optimal prices, while navigating regulatory requirements and energy market dynamics. Every unit of gas is optimized for revenue and project economics, with certified sustainability credentials. This approach ensures full value creation from landfill gas, predictable returns, and transparent reporting of environmental performance.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What are the technical requirements for installing a WAGABOX® unit at my landfill site?
The main requirements are: a sufficient landfill gas flow rate (from 300–400 Nm³/h), an operational gas collection system with good coverage of the site, and an accessible injection point on the natural gas grid (road transportation may also be considered in certain cases). Waga Energy conducts a feasibility study to assess the potential of your site and identify any preparatory work that may be required.
How does Waga Energy assess a landfill site’s methane generation potential and the project’s profitability?
As part of its feasibility study, Waga Energy analyzes the characteristics of the landfill gas—including flow rate, composition, and collection history—based on data collected by the site operator. The feasibility study also includes modeling of the expected RNG production, an analysis of the grid connection conditions, and an estimate of the revenues the project could generate for the landfill operator.
What are the operational responsibilities of a landfill operator equipped with a WAGABOX® unit?
The operator’s responsibilities remain consistent with its usual activities: maintaining the gas collection system (including well maintenance and condensate management) and delivering the raw landfill gas to the WAGABOX® unit. Site access and perimeter security also remain the operator’s responsibility. Waga Energy takes care of everything else, including the operation, maintenance, performance management, and 24/7 monitoring of the WAGABOX® unit. No additional technical expertise is required from the operator.
What is the typical timeframe between signing the contract and commissioning a WAGABOX® unit?
Once the contract has been signed, commissioning typically takes place within 18 to 24 months. This timeframe covers the manufacturing of the WAGABOX® unit in our workshops, the obtaining of regulatory permits, civil engineering works, and connection to the gas grid. Waga Energy coordinates all of these stages and supports you through to the injection of the first cubic meters of biomethane into the network.
Does Waga Energy handle the project’s regulatory and administrative requirements?
Waga Energy handles all administrative procedures related to the project, including operating permits, environmental authorizations (ICPE in France), gas grid connection, and environmental reporting requirements. With operations in multiple countries across Europe, North America, and Brazil, the company has extensive expertise in local regulatory frameworks and ensures compliant project deployment without requiring significant involvement from your internal resources.
Does installing a WAGABOX® unit require modifications to my gas collection system?
The feasibility study assesses the condition of your gas collection system and identifies any adjustments that may be required, such as wellfield expansion, condensate management, or flow optimization. If needed, these works are generally considered part of the site’s routine maintenance operations and remain the responsibility of the operator. Waga Energy provides support with system sizing and can recommend qualified service providers.
What land area and utility connections are required to install a WAGABOX® unit?
A WAGABOX® unit requires a relatively compact footprint—comparable to a basketball court for the smallest units—ideally located close to the gas collection network. It requires an electrical connection, an internet connection for remote monitoring, and an injection point on the gas grid. Waga Energy precisely assesses these requirements during the feasibility study and covers all investments related to the unit.
