Anaergia secures supply order major biogas project in Australia

Anaergia Inc. through its subsidiary Anaergia Australia Pty Ltd. has entered into a contract with RF Corval Pty Ltd. to deliver proprietary technology and equipment for an advanced anaerobic digestion facility or biogas plant at the Goodness Grown farm production site in Tongala, Australia.

Corval is one of Australia’s leading specialist property investors, creating value and generating superior returns for investors.

Anaergia will deliver a comprehensive suite of services and proven technologies, including its proprietary PSM Mixers and Service Box Pro equipment. The plant is expected to be operational within two years and will convert organic waste into renewable biomethane. Anaergia anticipates total contract revenue of approximately C$14 million.

The biogas facility is being designed to process up to 120,000 tonnes per year of mixed agricultural and commercial feedstocks. It is also expected to generate over 100 terajoules per year of gross biogas energy with the potential to displace a significant portion of the adjacent greenhouse’s liquid petroleum gas consumption.

Captured heat and CO2 will be recovered and supplied to the adjoining glasshouse operations to support on-site energy and CO2 requirements.

This Project received funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as part of ARENA’s National Industrial Transformation Program.

“This project aligns with our investors’ expectations that Corval projects have a meaningful focus on sustainability and helps establish a point of difference for Goodness Grown as the most sustainably grown tomatoes in Australia,” said Andrew Jackson, Head of Agricultural Real Estate at Corval.

“This is the first project of its kind in Australia’s food production sector and is a cornerstone of Goodness Grown’s strategy to decarbonize production and demonstrate scalable circular economy solutions,” noted Paul Geurtsen, Project Director of Goodness Grown.

“Our new contract with Corval is a strategically significant flagship project for Anaergia in the growing Australia and New Zealand region. It marks an important step in establishing our presence and supporting our growth as a leading technology provider in the region’s expanding bioenergy sector,” added Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia.
