Hillsborough County Selects Waga Energy to Upgrade Landfill Gas to RNG in Florida
(Lithia, Florida - January 12, 2026) - Hillsborough County has selected Waga Energy to build, own, operate, and
maintain a renewable natural gas (RNG) production unit at the Southeast County Landfill in Lithia, Florida. When in
operation, the plant will be able to produce up to 610,000 MMBtu of RNG per year.
Hillsborough County, in west-central Florida, 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 Southeast County Landfill
in Lithia. The plant will utilize the WAGABOX technology, developed and patented by Waga Energy. Once operational, it
will be able to process up to 3,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of landfill gas and produce over 610,000
MMBtu (180 GWh) of RNG per year, delivering gas to the local pipeline for at least 20 years.
The project is expected to reduce up to 47,500 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually due to the displacement of
fossil fuels-equivalent to avoiding the CO2 emissions from 4.2 million gallons of diesel consumed.[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 Southeast County Landfill, located in the city of Lithia, Florida, is owned by Hillsborough County and operated by
WM, North America's leading provider of comprehensive environmental solutions. The landfill accepts more than 400,000
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.
Guénaël Prince, co-founder and CEO of Waga Energy Inc.: "We are proud to be partnering with Hillsborough County on this
major project, and deploying our first WAGABOX unit in Florida near our U.S. commercial headquarters. Together, we are
turning landfill gas into RNG, a clean, local, renewable energy, and taking concrete action towards energy resilience
and the decarbonization of the gas infrastructure for Florida's communities."
