Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or the “Company”) (TSX: ANRG) announced today that its Canadian subsidiary, Anaergia DB Inc., has entered into an integrated technology supply contract with PepsiCo Alimentos Z.F. LTDA (“PepsiCo”) to provide its high-efficiency digestion technology and integrated biogas conditioning and upgrading technology at PepsiCo’s food production facility in Funza, part of the Metropolitan Area of Bogotá, Colombia.
“By providing our proven solutions to create renewable fuel and energy from organic waste, we are helping our customers achieve their environmental and economic objectives globally”
The biogas system supplied by Anaergia will convert approximately 50,000 tons per year of organic residues produced at the facility into renewable natural gas to be used within the facility, offsetting the use of fossil natural gas from the grid and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 3,700 tons per year of CO2.
“By utilizing Anaergia’s solutions at our Funza facility, PepsiCo will be generating renewable natural gas from our residue streams and reducing our carbon footprint,” said Jim Andrews, Chief Sustainability Officer at PepsiCo. “This project is another transformative initiative by PepsiCo, as we progress towards our carbon reduction commitment,” added Mr. Andrews.
“South America is now the third continent where Anaergia is providing systems to PepsiCo facilities,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. “By providing our proven solutions to create renewable fuel and energy from organic waste, we are helping our customers achieve their environmental and economic objectives globally,” added Mr. Onn.
