Anaergia signs solid waste conversion project development agreement in Michigan

Anaergia Inc. of Burlington, ON, and partner, The Woodlands, TX-based Continuus Materials, have signed a contract Project Development Agreement (PDA) with the Board of the Kent County Department of Public Works in the state of Michigan.

Under the terms of the PDA, the parties agreed to terms for a potential project under which an approximately US$280 million state-of-the-art Material Recovery Facility (MRF) converting solid waste to products, fertilizer, and renewable natural gas (RNG), would be built by Anaergia and Continuus Materials.

The PDA indicates that the initial term of this agreement is to be for a period of twenty-five years from the start of operations.

As previously disclosed, the facility is expected to be a world-leading facility, achieving the County’s ambitious landfill diversion targets, while supporting its visionary sustainability goals and creating economic stimulus in West Michigan.

Anaergia was created to eliminate a major source of greenhouse gases by cost effectively turning organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG), fertilizer and water, using proprietary technologies.
