Anaergia Awarded Contract to Operate and Maintain Rialto Bioenergy Solutions Facility in California

CARLSBAD, Calif. & BURLINGTON, Ontario -- Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) (TSX: ANRG) announced today that its subsidiary, Anaergia Services LLC (“Anaergia Services”), has entered into a long-term Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) contract with Rialto Bioenergy Solutions LLC (“RBS”), an affiliate of Sevana Bioenergy LLC. The RBS facility (“Facility”) is the largest landfill diverted organic waste-to-renewable natural gas facility in North America.

Under the terms of the contract, Anaergia Services expects to operate the Facility for the next 10 years.

The Facility is designed to convert up to 1,000 tons per day of municipal wastewater biosolids and landfill-diverted, organic waste into up to 985,000 MMBtu per year of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) and fertilizer. The Facility processes organic waste that was extracted from mixed municipal solid waste using Anaergia’s proprietary OREX™ technology and produces RNG with large-scale, advanced anaerobic digester technology. The Facility supports California’s landfill diversion regulation Senate Bill 1383 aimed at reducing greenhouse gas methane emissions from landfills.

“The RBS is a critical asset serving the organic waste diversion needs of Los Angeles’ RecycLA franchise and the broader Southern California region. We are making capital and operational improvements to ensure we provide a reliable organics processing solution,” said Steve Compton, President of Sevana Bioenergy.

“We are pleased and proud to be entrusted in operating the RBS facility, that is playing a critical role in organic waste recycling in the heart of California,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia.
