CHICAGO, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nexus W2V, a leading developer of waste-to-value infrastructure projects, announced the closing of an anchor $75 million structured equity commitment from Orion Infrastructure Capital ("OIC"). With additional investment from Nexus Holdings, Khasma Capital, Sterling Bank and Ameris Bank, Nexus W2V has issued notice to proceed with the construction of its flagship facility, the Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex in La Porte, Indiana, which will turn source-separated organics into renewable natural gas (RNG).

"National waste is on the rise, and the legislation around waste management is quickly evolving to drive meaningful change across the industry," said Ben Hubbard, CEO of Nexus Holdings. "Nexus W2V is embracing that change and providing a cost-competitive alternative waste disposal method that's positive for both energy production and the environment."

Nexus W2V focuses on converting organic waste streams into renewable natural gas, compost products and biochar, as exemplified by the Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex. Led by waste and energy industry veterans, the Nexus W2V team boasts decades of combined experience across industrial design and construction, bio-energy development and regenerative agriculture.

"In conjunction with our newly forged capital partnership, Nexus W2V is well prepared to deliver industry-leading projects in the waste-to-value sector across North America, and OIC is excited to play a part in deploying these innovative solutions supporting sustainable landfill diversion and the reduction of associated emissions," said Chris Leary, Investment Partner and Head of Infra Equity at OIC.

Located 70 miles outside Chicago, Nexus W2V's flagship waste-to-RNG facility is expected to process 200 tons of organic waste daily into RNG and coproducts.

The Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2026 and bring 35 local jobs to La Porte.

"The Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex will offer the greater Chicago area and western Indiana a long-term solution to their organic waste disposal needs," said Roshan Vani, CEO of Nexus W2V.
