Anaergia’s solutions convert municipal organic waste into compressed natural gas

TREVIGLIO, Italy & BURLINGTON, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia”, the “Company”, “us”, or “our”) (TSX:ANRG) (OTCQX:ANRGF), through its subsidiary, Anaergia S.r.l., and its joint venture partner, Edil Alta S.r.l , a leading Italian construction company, have received a formal notice from the City of Fermo, Italy, to proceed with the construction of a waste treatment plant, including an new anaerobic digestion facility, for the city.

This new facility will take in and treat more than 35,000 thousand tons per year of source-separated organics (“SSO”) , and it is expected to produce about 31.400 MWh of biomethane, which will be turned into compressed natural gas (“CNG”) and used for vehicle fueling.
