Third Anaergia facility for QGM in northern Italy
TREVIGLIO, Italy and BURLINGTON, ON, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anaergia Inc. ("Anaergia," the "Company," "we," or "our") (TSX: ANRG) (OTCQX: ANRGF) announced today that its subsidiary, Anaergia S.r.l., signed the third contract with an entity owned by QGM S.á.r.l. ("QGM"), a partnership between Quercus Real Assets and Elionia, to develop a new state-of-the-art biomethane production plant in Ostellato, northern Italy.
This plant, like the projects for QGM in Copparo and in Derovere, that Anaergia had announced on March 31, 2025, will leverage Anaergia's cutting-edge anaerobic digestion technologies to produce renewable biomethane from various types of agricultural residues, supporting Italy's ongoing commitment to sustainability and decarbonization. This facility will process approximately 47,000 tons per year of agricultural biomass and by-products to produce over 4 million cubic meters of methane annually.
Like the other two QGM plants, this plant is also expected to be fully constructed and able to provide renewable biomethane to Italy's gas pipeline grid by mid-2026. Anaergia's total contracted value for this new project exceeds C$22 million.
"This third facility is part of a broader, self-developed, portfolio that QGM has planned to invest in during the next three-to-five years in Italy as part of our organization's sustainability goals and with a view to become a player of reference in the biomethane industry," said Diego Biasi, Co-Founder and CEO of Quercus, a partner in QGM.
"By adding this third facility to the others previously announced by QGM and Anaergia, we are fully on track to pursue our strategy to build a leading biomethane portfolio in Italy over the next years," said Danilo Fumarola, CEO and Founder of Elionia, also a partner in QGM.
"This project highlights the constructive relationship between the parties, being the third facility we will build together, and serving as an example of Anaergia's commitment to developing long-term, repeat partnerships," said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia.
Therefore, this project is another example of companies working together to advance sustainable energy solutions, promoting responsible use of agricultural resources, and supporting Europe's broader environmental and decarbonization goals.
