Lane County and Emerald People's Utility District Select Waga Energy to Upgrade Landfill Gas to RNG in Oregon 

(Eugene, Oregon - January 15, 2026) - Lane County, in partnership with Emerald People's Utility District (EPUD), has 
selected Waga Energy to build, own, operate, and maintain a renewable natural gas (RNG) production unit at the Short 
Mountain Landfill in Eugene, Oregon. When in operation, the plant is designed to produce about 407,000 MMBtu of RNG per 
year. 

Over the last several decades, Emerald People's Utility District (EPUD) has generated electricity from the landfill gas 
at Short Mountain Landfill at a capacity of 3 MW. EPUD selected Waga Energy to generate RNG, replacing the engines at 
the site. Lane County agreed with EPUDs recommendation: to select 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 Short Mountain 
Landfill in Eugene for an initial 25-year period. The plant will utilize the WAGABOX technology, developed and 
patented by Waga Energy. Once operational, it is able to process up to 2,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of 
landfill gas and produce about 407,000 MMBtu (120 GWh) of RNG per year, delivering gas to the local pipeline. 

The project is expected to reduce up to 31,000 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually due to the displacement of 
fossil fuels-equivalent to avoiding the CO2 emissions from 2.7 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. 

Short Mountain Landfill is municipally owned and operated by Lane County. It accepts up to 270,000 metric tons of waste 
annually. Replacing EPUD's engines with the WAGABOX technology will increase overall energy production, lower site 
emissions and enable the delivery of locally produced renewable natural gas that can be transported using existing gas 
infrastructure. 

As a result of 15 years of research and 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.

"We are excited to begin a new chapter in our decades-long partnership with Emerald People's Utility District," said 
Lane County Commissioner David Loveall. "Working together with Waga Energy will allow us to reduce emissions from the 
landfill and turn those emissions into renewable fuel. It's a win for our community and a great example of how public 
agencies can work together with private companies to create innovative and beneficial solutions." 

Curt Offenbacher, Emerald People's Utility District (EPUD) Board of Directors President: "EPUD is pleased to support 
this next chapter at the Short Mountain landfill. While we're proud of the contributions we've made over the past three 
decades to generate low-cost electricity and reduce local emissions, we know that Waga Energy can take these efforts to 
a new level. At the same time, this transaction will protect our customers from future rate increases and allow us to 
focus on our core mission of providing safe, reliable, low-cost power." 

"We are honored to partner with Lane County and EPUD on this project, which reflects a shared commitment to 
environmental stewardship and innovative energy solutions," said Guénaël Prince, Co-Founder and CEO of Waga Energy Inc. 
"By transforming landfill gas into high-quality renewable natural gas, we're not only reducing local greenhouse gas 
emissions but also providing the community with a reliable, locally produced source of energy. This collaboration 
demonstrates what's possible for a local community when a public partner and a technology leader work together to 
advance a more sustainable future."
