The Facility processes organic waste that was extracted from mixed municipal solid waste using Anaergia’s proprietary OREX™ technology and produces RNG with large-scale, advanced anaerobic digester technology. The Facility supports California’s landfill diversion regulation Senate Bill 1383 aimed at reducing greenhouse gas methane emissions from landfills.
“The RBS is a critical asset serving the organic waste diversion needs of Los Angeles’ RecycLA franchise and the broader Southern California region. We are making capital and operational improvements to ensure we provide a reliable organics processing solution,” said Steve Compton, President of Sevana Bioenergy.
