Anaergia has secured a contract worth approximately C$34 million, or 34 million Canadian dollars, to engineer and build a new biomethane facility in Hungary, the company announced on November 9. Engineering has begun, but construction and commissioning are expected to be completed by mid-2028.
The agreement adds a second Hungarian project announced this year to the Canadian company’s European business. Anaergia did not name the customer or identify the site of the new facility, making the contract value and planned capacity the main disclosed measures of its scale.
Subsidiary Anaergia Srl signed the engineering, procurement and construction contract, according to the company’s announcement issued from Treviglio, Italy, and Burlington, Ontario. That scope covers delivery of a facility, rather than simply the sale of a single piece of equipment.
The plant is designed to process more than 140,000 tonnes of agricultural feedstock annually and produce more than 900 normal cubic metres of biogas per hour for upgrading to biomethane and injection into the natural-gas grid. These are design targets, not output already being produced. The biogas figure is not a stated volume of finished biomethane.
Anaergia’s scope includes its Triton anaerobic-digestion technology, FeedREX feedstock-reception system, digester mixing and equipment for dewatering digestate, the material left after digestion. The systems are intended to turn agricultural residues into pipeline-quality biomethane.
The business opportunity is to provide an integrated route from agricultural material to usable gas, combining the processing technology with project delivery. For Anaergia, the contract adds work in a market where it has recently resumed major project activity. The announcement does not establish how much of the contract value has become revenue or what profit margin the project will earn.
The company explicitly distinguishes this facility from a Hungarian project announced in September for another customer. The new contract therefore represents a separate award, not a revision of that earlier project. Anaergia did not identify either customer in this latest announcement or provide a combined construction schedule.
Engineering is the first activity confirmed as under way. Procurement, construction and commissioning remain ahead, with the mid-2028 completion date stated as an expectation. The release gives no detailed interim milestones, grid-connection date, feedstock-supply terms or customer financing arrangements.
Those gaps matter because Anaergia’s own caution identifies counterparty performance, full development and funding of the project, and the technology’s ability to meet project objectives as assumptions behind the expected outcome. The contract does not remove those delivery and funding risks. Actual timing, volumes and financial benefits could differ from the company’s expectations.
The next tests will be progress through procurement and construction and, ultimately, whether commissioning supports the designed throughput and gas production. For now, the news is a signed contract with engineering started, not a completed Hungarian plant or a current addition to gas supply.
