Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority partners with Waga Energy to upgrade landfill gas to RNG in New Jersey
Philadelphia (PA), March 10, 2026 - Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority partners with Waga Energy to upgrade
its landfill gas into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas (RNG) in Southern New Jersey.
The Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (CMCMUA) has selected Waga Energy, a global leader in the production
of renewable natural gas (RNG) from landfills, to build, own, and operate an RNG production unit at the CMCMUA's Secure
Sanitary Landfill located on the Borough of Woodbine/Township of Upper border in southern New Jersey. The facility will
use Waga Energy's WAGABOX proprietary technology to upgrade landfill gas into RNG, which will be injected into the
local pipeline under a 20-year term. Waga Energy was selected in early 2025 following a competitive request for
proposals issued by the CMCMUA.
The WAGABOX unit is designed to process up to 1,000 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm) of landfill gas, producing
approximately 205,000 MMBtu of RNG annually.
The project is expected to reduce up to 15,800 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually by displacing the use
of fossil fuels - equivalent to avoiding the emissions associated with approximately 1.5 million gallons of diesel
consumption.[1] The project supports the circular economy and provides the community with a local, reliable, and
renewable energy source while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
The CMCMUA Secure Sanitary Landfill serves all sixteen municipalities within Cape May County. While the year-round
population of the County is approximately 98,000 residents, the popularity of the County as a vacation destination
draws additional crowds over the summer months and increases population to over 750,000. The CMCMUA Secure Sanitary
Landfill accepts roughly 180,000 tons of waste annually. The landfill gas is currently utilized for power generation
through a CHP engine. The RNG production will maximize the beneficial use of landfill gas generated from the
degradation of waste in the landfill, while supplying renewable energy to support the decarbonization of transport.
This project has been a goal of the Authority's for several years and the realization of such will allow for the more
efficient and long-term management of landfill gas at the CMCMUA Sanitary Landfill. Through shared benefits between the
parties, revenues from the project will support the Authority's continued maintenance and investment in the landfill
gas conveyance and collection system as the landfill continues to operate into the foreseeable future.
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 partner with the Cape May County Municipal
Utilities Authority on our first WAGABOX project in New Jersey, an initiative leading the way in renewable energy
production for the state. This project will reduce local emissions, improve air quality, and support the circular
economy. We look forward to partnering with the CMCMUA to bring this project to life."
Joseph V. Rizzuto, Executive Director of the Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority: "The CMCMUA is advancing
its commitment to the beneficial use of landfill gas by partnering with Waga Energy, Inc. and integrating their
WAGABOX technology. This collaboration is a perfect fit for the CMCMUA's Vision of actively pursuing and implementing
innovative and environmentally sustainable solid waste systems."
About Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority
The Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority (CMCMUA) was created by the Cape May County Board of County
Commissioners in 1972. The CMCMUA owns and operates four (4) regional wastewater treatment facilities providing 31
million gallons per day in wastewater treatment and disposal capacity for all or part of fourteen of the sixteen
municipalities in Cape May County. In 1980, the CMCMUA was designated as the implementing agency for the Cape May
County Solid Waste Management Plan. The CMCMUA developed and implemented a comprehensive solid waste management system
which includes the siting, construction, and operation of a Secure, Sanitary Landfill located on the Borough of
Woodbine/Township of Upper border; a Transfer Station located in the Burleigh section of Middle Township; and an
aggressive source separation, recycling, reuse, and waste reduction program that provides for the recycling of
forty-one mandated materials, reclaims energy through its landfill gas recovery system and prevents toxic materials
from entering the waste stream by collecting them through a household hazardous waste program. The County of Cape May
is located at the southernmost tip of New Jersey between the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, is a popular coastal
destination known as "The Jersey Cape." It features 30 miles of beaches, historic Victorian architecture in Cape May
City, a top-rated county zoo, and extensive fishing and birdwatching opportunities. https://cmcmua.com
