Hillsborough County has selected Waga Energy to upgrade landfill gas into pipeline-quality biomethane at the Southeast County Landfill in Lithia. The plant will utilise Waga Energy’s patented WAGABOX® technology. Once operational, it will be able to process up to 4,830 Nm³/h of landfill gas and produce over 180 GWh of biomethane per year, delivering gas to the local pipeline for at least 20 years.
The project is expected to reduce up to 47,500 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions annually through the displacement of fossil fuels — equivalent to avoiding the CO₂ emissions associated with the consumption of 4.2 million gallons of diesel fuel. By producing pipeline-quality biomethane, the project supports the circular economy and reduces dependence on fossil fuels through a local, reliable and renewable source of energy for the community.
“We are proud to be partnering with Hillsborough County on this major project, and deploying our first WAGABOX® unit in Florida near our U.S. commercial headquarters. Together, we are turning landfill gas into biomethane, a clean, local, renewable energy, and taking concrete action towards energy resilience and the decarbonization of the gas infrastructure for Florida’s communities.”
