Anaergia Secures $14M Contract for Australia’s First Large-Scale Agri-Waste Biogas Facility
Event summary
- Anaergia Australia Pty Ltd. signed a C$14M contract with RF Corval to build an anaerobic digestion facility in Tongala, Australia.
- The plant will process up to 120,000 tonnes/year of organic waste and generate over 100 terajoules/year of biogas energy.
- Project received funding from ARENA as part of its National Industrial Transformation Program.
- Facility expected to be operational within two years, displacing liquid petroleum gas consumption at adjacent greenhouse operations.
The big picture
This project represents a strategic milestone in integrating anaerobic digestion technology with controlled-environment agriculture, aligning with global trends toward decarbonizing food production. The C$14M contract underscores growing demand for scalable waste-to-energy solutions in Australia's agricultural sector. Anaergia's ability to replicate this model could drive significant revenue growth and market differentiation.
