Anaergia to Equip Bizkaia Recycling Plant with Organics-to-Biomethane Technology
Agreement supports Spain’s push for advanced waste-to-energy infrastructure
Anaergia Inc. has announced a new agreement through its subsidiary, Anaergia S.r.l., to supply advanced organic waste processing systems to a materials recycling facility located in Bizkaia, near Bilbao, Spain. The facility is being revamped by PreZero International, the project’s general contractor, to handle source-separated organics more efficiently and sustainably.
Once the upgrade is complete, the plant will have the capacity to process up to 50,000 tons of organic material per year. The project represents Anaergia’s first deployment of this technology in Spain.
CleanREX™ and GritREX™ to Enable Biomethane Recovery
Anaergia systems will enhance efficiency of anaerobic digestion
As part of the agreement, Anaergia will provide its proprietary CleanREX™ and GritREX™ technologies. These systems are designed to extract contaminants and non-organic material from collected waste streams and prepare the remaining organic matter for anaerobic digestion. The processed organics will then be converted into biomethane, a renewable energy source.
The contract is expected to generate approximately C$7.6 million in revenue for Anaergia. The company noted that its technologies have been installed in similar facilities worldwide, but the Bizkaia project is a milestone as its first of this type in the Spanish market.
Strategic Expansion into Spain’s Circular Economy Projects
Anaergia broadens its European footprint with first project in Spain
“This is a significant milestone as we make the world better with our global footprint and proven expertise,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. The company has previously implemented its technologies at other source-separated organics facilities, but the Bizkaia installation reflects Anaergia’s growing involvement in Europe’s circular economy initiatives.
Fernando Fernández, Head of Project Execution at PreZero International, commented, “The solutions provided by Anaergia will help make the Bizkaia facility one of the most efficient and sustainable plants in Spain to convert source-separated organics into biomethane.”
