Anaergia, through its Italian subsidiary Anaergia S.r.l., has entered into a joint venture with Italian construction firms Tozzi Sud and Isolmec Group to build a new anaerobic digestion facility for BioHold in Basilicata, southern Italy.
BioHold is a bioenergy platform jointly controlled by Pietro Fiorentini and the Vesper Next Generation Infrastructure Fund. The Ora Biogas project is Anaergia’s first for BioHold.
The Ora Biogas facility will process a variety of agricultural residues to produce renewable gas. Once operational, it is expected to generate more than 47,000 megawatt-hours of biomethane annually, which will be injected into Italy’s gas distribution network.
Operations are anticipated to begin by June 2026. The total value of the joint venture contract is approximately C$22 million.
Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia, said: “Anaergia has an established presence in Italy, and this joint venture demonstrates how we work together with leading local partners to advance projects with expedited timelines. By leveraging our recognised expertise and proven solutions, this project will deliver meaningful economic and environmental benefits from agricultural residues. We are pleased to be part of this new project, our first one for BioHold.”
Nunzio Perna, CEO of Isolmec and Tozzi Sud, added: “We are proud to take part in this project alongside highly experienced partners. The construction of the Ora Biogas plant represents a concrete step towards a more sustainable energy future and reaffirms our industrial group’s commitment to developing innovative infrastructure for Italy’s ecological transition.”
Zeno Marani, Biomethane Development Manager of BioHold, said: “We are delighted to collaborate with the joint venture of Isolmec, Tozzi Sud and Anaergia on this important biomethane project. I am confident that the proven experience and capabilities of our companies will ensure a successful and long-lasting partnership.”
