Anaergia Advances Agricultural Waste-to-Energy Projects in Spain
Anaergia Inc., through its subsidiary Anaergia S.r.l., has been awarded project contracts for two new anaerobic digestion facilities in Andújar and Arjona, Spain. The contracts were signed with D.B. Andalucía, a special purpose company developing renewable energy projects in the region.
These projects form part of a previously announced framework agreement under which Anaergia will provide technology and services for the development of more than 15 anaerobic digestion plants across Spain. The total value of the broader agreement is estimated at approximately C$184 million. The Andújar and Arjona plants represent the second and third projects to move forward under this arrangement.
Converting Olive Oil Byproducts Into Renewable Energy
Both facilities are designed to process waste from olive oil production, specifically olive pomace, a byproduct generated in large volumes across Spain’s agricultural sector. Each plant is expected to convert approximately 100,000 tonnes of olive pomace per year into renewable biomethane.
