Wicomico County Selects Waga Energy to Upgrade Landfill Gas to RNG in Maryland 

(Salisbury, Maryland - December 18, 2025) - Wicomico County has selected Waga Energy to build, own, operate, and 
maintain an RNG production unit at the Newland Park Landfill in Salisbury, Maryland. When in operation, the plant will 
provide more than 210,000 MMBtu of RNG per year. 

Wicomico County, a Maryland jurisdiction on the eastern coast of the United States, has selected Waga Energy, a global 
leader in the production of renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfills, to upgrade the landfill gas into 
pipeline-quality RNG at the Newland Park Landfill. The plant will utilize the WAGABOX technology, developed and 
patented by Waga Energy. Once operational, it will process up to 1,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of 
landfill gas and produce over 210,000 MMBtu (62 GWh) of RNG per year, delivering gas to the local pipeline and 
complying with recent environmental regulations requiring a better control of methane emissions from landfills. 

The project will offset approximately 12,200 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually by capturing methane, a potent 
greenhouse gas, and purifying it into RNG. This reduction is equivalent to the energy contained in about 1 million 
gallons of diesel fuel[1]. By producing pipeline-quality RNG, the project supports the circular economy and reduces 
reliance on fossil fuels with a local, reliable and renewable source of energy provided to the community. 

The Newland Park Landfill is located outside the city of Salisbury, Maryland, owned and operated by Wicomico County. It 
accepts 150,000 tons of waste annually. 

As a result of 15 years of development, Waga Energy's patented WAGABOX technology revolutionizes landfill gas 
upgrading by combining membrane filtration with cryogenic distillation. It maximizes the renewable energy production of 
landfills by ensuring the production of pipeline-quality RNG, regardless of landfill gas variations in flow rate and 
composition. 

Julie M. Giordano, Wicomico County Executive: "Selecting Waga Energy for this project represents a major step forward 
in Wicomico County's commitment to environmental stewardship, innovation, and responsible landfill management. By 
capturing methane and converting it into renewable natural gas, we are turning a waste byproduct into a valuable energy 
resource while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This project positions Wicomico County as a leader in 
sustainable energy solutions on Maryland's Eastern Shore. The Newland Park Landfill RNG facility not only helps us meet 
evolving environmental regulations, but also supports a cleaner, more resilient energy future for our community." 

Guénaël Prince, co-founder and CEO of Waga Energy Inc.: "Our collaboration with Wicomico County stands as a cornerstone 
in shaping the next phase of our development in Maryland. We are thrilled to develop the first WAGABOX unit in a state 
with such ambitious goals of greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and with immense potential for our solution. 
Supplying RNG produced in Maryland for local use highlights the success of public-private collaboration in advancing 
the state's ambitious decarbonization goals."
