Biogas technology conglomerate Anaergia Inc. has agreed with engineering & construction major Techbau SPA for the building of five new biomethane or biogas plants in Italy. The agreement was realised through its subsidiary Anaergia SRL.
The total investment in these five biogas projects is expected to be about €100 million, of which Anaergia is expected to recognize revenues of approximately C$25 million.
Under the agreement, Anaergia will be the technology provider, supplying state-of-the-art equipment for the biogas production process, and Techbau will be the general contractor, overseeing the engineering, procurement, and construction of the facilities.
These five new facilities will leverage Anaergia’s cutting-edge anaerobic digestion technologies to produce biogas from various types of agricultural and food processing wastes, aligning with Italy’s commitment to sustainable energy and decarbonization goals. The biogas plants are to be strategically located across Southern Italy. All five plants are expected to be fully constructed and able to provide renewable biomethane to Italy’s gas pipeline grid by the end of 2025.
“Sustainability has always been a central focus of Techbau, and we have consistently taken innovative approaches to shape a more sustainable future,” said Andrea Marchiori, Chief Executive Officer of Techbau. “Therefore, we are pleased to partner with Anaergia to build these five facilities that will each positively impact Italy’s future, from both an environmental perspective and also an energy supply perspective,” added Marchiori.
“With a strong presence in the Italian market, Anaergia is committed to delivering sustainable technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the circular economy,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. “Our agreement with Techbau marks a significant milestone in advancing Italy’s renewable energy sector, supporting both economic development and also environmental sustainability,” added Onn.
Italy is one of the key biogas markets in Europe and is expanding pretty fast. Recently, the Italian government revealed that the biomethane production is projected to grow nearly twentyfold from 2023 levels, reaching 5.8 cbm by 2030. Out of the total biomethane production, about 1.1 cbm is expected to be used in transportation, with the rest allocated to industry and electricity generation.
