Anaergia Singapore, a subsidiary of anaerobic digestion solutions provider Anaergia, has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to supply JGC Holdings Corporation with technology and equipment for a renewable natural gas (RNG) project in Japan.

The agreement includes Anaergia's advanced feedstock pre-treatment solution, high-efficiency anaerobic digestion technology and digestate management system.

JGC will leverage Anaergia's technology to create a facility capable of handling two different waste streams.

The facility is set to process more than 56,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of cow manure and 5,000tpa of food waste.

These organic waste streams will be converted into approximately 1.7 million cubic metres (mcm) per year of biomethane equivalent of RNG, along with the generation of fertilizer.

This agreement supports Anaergia's efforts to transform waste into valuable resources, thereby facilitating the decarbonisation of fuel supplies, according to the company.

JGC executive vice-president Masahiro Aika said: “Anaergia’s integrated technical solutions will enable JGC to develop a unique facility that will take in two different waste streams and will generate renewal gas that can significantly decarbonise fuel supply.

“This facility will reflect our commitment to enhancing the intertwined health of humans and the Earth.”

Anaergia holds more than 250 patents for technologies that convert organic waste into sustainable products such as RNG, fertilizer and clean water.

The company's integrated approach includes solid waste processing, wastewater treatment, organics recovery and biomethane production.

Anaergia CEO Assaf Onn said: “This project is another example of Anaergia’s differentiated capabilities being used to support the development of large-scale RNG infrastructure projects.

“Furthermore, I believe this facility will be an important reference site in Japan, a market in which we see exciting potential.”

In September 2024, Technip Energies and JGC Corporation won the front-end engineering design contract for the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique.
