Anaergia and JGC Holdings Corporation Sign LOI for New RNG Project in Japan

Anaergia Inc. (TSX: ANRG) and JGC Holdings Corporation (JGC) have signed a letter of intent (LOI) to collaborate on a new renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Japan. This strategic partnership combines Anaergia's expertise in waste management and renewable energy with JGC's engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) capabilities, aiming to create a sustainable and efficient RNG project.

The project, expected to be one of the largest RNG facilities in Japan, will convert organic waste from landfills into clean energy, fertilizer, and water. The new RNG plant will be built in the Hokkaido region, with an estimated capacity of 100 MW. The project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 200,000 tons of CO2 equivalents annually, contributing to Japan's goal of reducing emissions by 26% by 2030 compared to 2013 levels.

Anaergia's proprietary technologies, including waste processing solutions, anaerobic digestion, and biogas upgrading, will be employed in the project. JGC will provide EPC services, ensuring the project's efficient design, procurement, and construction. The partnership leverages both companies' strengths and expertise to create a technically sound and economically viable project.

The Japanese government has been actively promoting the development of RNG projects, providing financial support and incentives. The project is expected to benefit from these government initiatives, further enhancing its long-term viability. Additionally, the growing demand for renewable energy in Japan, driven by the country's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, creates a favorable market for RNG projects.



The partnership between Anaergia and JGC Holdings Corporation enhances the project's feasibility and potential success by combining their respective strengths and expertise in the renewable energy and waste management sectors. Anaergia's expertise in waste management and renewable energy, along with JGC's EPC capabilities, ensures the project's technical feasibility and increases the likelihood of success.

The new RNG project in Japan is an exciting opportunity for both Anaergia and JGC Holdings Corporation. By leveraging their combined expertise and the favorable market dynamics in Japan, the partnership is well-positioned to create a successful and sustainable RNG project. As the project progresses, investors should keep an eye on the developments and the potential impact on both companies' stock prices.
