TREVIGLIO, Italy & BURLINGTON, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia”, the “Company”, “us”, or “our”) (TSX:ANRG) (OTCQX:ANRGF), through its subsidiary, Anaergia S.r.l., entered into a contract with Capwatt Biomethane Unipessoal, Lda (“Capwatt”). Under the terms of this C$7.3 million contract, Anaergia S.r.l. will design and construct an advanced facility, Metanext. Located in central Italy, Metanext will produce biomethane from agro-industry waste. The facility is expected to be operational by the end of June 2026.

This contract follows the binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Capwatt previously announced on April 21, 2025, for a total of nine projects. These projects, expected to be completed over 30 months, are anticipated to generate a combined total of more than C$60 million in revenue for Anaergia. Anaergia S.r.l. is to oversee the design of each facility, incorporating advanced processes and proprietary systems such as anaerobic digesters, significantly enhancing Europe’s green energy infrastructure and accelerating biomethane production. The Metanext project represents the first of these nine projects.

“The Metanext facility will have the capacity to produce 7.6 million cubic meters of high-quality biomethane annually,” stated Sérgio Rocha, CEO of Capwatt. “It represents a significant step in meeting Capwatt's commitment to leading sustainable energy production and driving the energy transition in Europe.”

“This contract is a key milestone in our relationship with Capwatt, transitioning from the previously announced LOI to initiating the first project under that agreement,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. “Leveraging Anaergia's technical expertise and equipment, this project will showcase our ability to deliver multiple projects simultaneously, fulfilling Capwatt’s needs, as demonstrated in our past collaborations.”
