Waga Energy secures CA$25 million loan to refinance three Canadian RNG plants

Waga Energy has secured a CA$25 million (approximately €16 million) project finance loan to refinance three of its operational sites in Québec, Canada.
The 19-year term loan was provided by Canadian financial institutions Equitable® and The Empire Life Insurance Company.

It will be used to refinance the WAGABOX® units currently in operation in Saint-Étienne-des-Grés, Chicoutimi and Cowansville. Together, these sites have a combined production capacity of 185 GWh (666 TJ) per year.

The funds will be used to repay construction-related debt and improve the company’s cash flow position, with the broader aim of supporting further RNG project development both within Canada and internationally.

This marks Waga Energy’s first refinancing transaction in Canada. The company currently operates seven RNG facilities across North America and has an additional 13 units under construction in Canada and the United States.

Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Video: Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Denitrification is one of the three main pathways for nitrogen loss, but what is it really, and how much nitrogen do we stand to lose?

In this episode, Lyle Cowell is joined by Dr. Erin Daly from the University of Guelph to break down denitrification and the conditions that drive nitrogen loss in the soil. They explore how nitrogen can be lost as nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas, what conditions drive losses and when they are most likely to occur.

Erin also shares how CanN2ONet, a national research network, is helping us better understand nitrous oxide emissions across Canada. From field towers that measure emissions to research into regionally tailored best management practices, discover how the network is working to help growers improve nitrogen use efficiency and help reduce nitrogen losses across the country.
