Casella and Waga Energy Launch Third RNG Facility at McKean Landfill

Casella Waste Systems and Waga Energy have announced the operation commencement of a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) facility at McKean Landfill in Mount Jewett, Pennsylvania. This marks the third facility launched this year under the partnership established in 2023. Previous sites at Chemung County and Hyland Landfills set the stage for this achievement.

The new facility, utilizing Waga Energy's WAGABOX® technology, processes landfill gas into high-quality RNG. It has a capacity of 2,000 SCFM, potentially generating 407,000 MMBtu annually. The RNG is infused into the National Fuel Gas network, making a significant renewable energy contribution.

Casella and Waga Energy share revenue from RNG sales, with Waga having funded and operating the facility for two decades. This project expects to cut 31,000 tons of CO₂ emissions yearly, highlighting the environmental benefits. It reflects a successful collaborative model promoting economic and ecological advancements.
