OCI Global chooses Waga Energy to produce biomethane in Texas

OCI Global, a leading global producer of nitrogen, methanol and hydrogen, has signed a contract with Waga Energy to produce biomethane in Beaumont, Texas. This collaboration is based on Waga Energy's patented WAGABOX® technology.

The project aims to capture the gas emitted by organic waste to convert it into biomethane, which will be injected into the local network. This will create around twenty jobs during construction. The unit is expected to reduce emissions by 27,440 tonnes of CO2e per year.

The device will be owned and operated by Waga Energy and could be a model for other similar sites in the United States. The biomethane produced will support OCI Global’s decarbonization strategy.
