Anaergia partners with CREvolution on first-of-its-kind degumming soil recovery project

Anaergia Inc, through its subsidiary Anaergia S.r.l., has entered into a contract with Circular Renewable Evolution   (CREvolution) to supply its proprietary technology and equipment for an advanced anaerobic digestion facility, valued at approximately C$13 million, that will form part of a broader initiative dedicated to the recovery of degumming soil residues at a biorefinery site .
The project brings together CREvolution, and Anaergia as strategic partners in developing an integrated, pioneering system for recovering and regenerating degumming soil while producing renewable natural gas (RNG).
This initiative represents a breakthrough in the sustainable production of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO diesel, Biojet (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), Bionafta and BioLPG). The new demonstration-scale facility will recover and regenerate degumming soil – a clay-based material used to purify vegetable oils during HVO production – transforming it from a waste by-product into a reusable resource. Currently, spent degumming soil is treated externally before landfill disposal. By integrating anaerobic digestion with a thermal treatment process, Anaergia’s system will both recover the material for reuse and produce RNG as a clean-energy by-product.
Anaergia’s scope includes the supply of an advanced anaerobic digestion system that incorporates its proprietary mixing and pumping technologies, designed to process materials with high dry-matter content and viscosity.
“This collaboration underscores Anaergia’s strength as a technology partner,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. “This solution, which helps CREvolution to transform what was once considered waste into renewable energy and reusable material, is designed for replication globally and for building a framework that can be expanded across a rapidly growing HVO market.”
“Through this initiative, we are setting a new benchmark for sustainable HVO production,” said Fabrizio Lami, COO of CREvolution. “The integration of Anaergia and CRE’s advanced technologies not only reduces waste and costs but also demonstrates how strategic partnerships can drive innovation toward a more circular economy.”
The facility will serve as a blueprint for a new circular-economy model in the HVO industry – one that transforms waste into renewable energy and reusable resources. Once validated, the approach is expected to be scalable across  biorefining operations and adaptable to more than 250 existing HVO plants worldwide, a market that is projected to expand by more than 35 percent by 2030. The initiative positions Anaergia, together with its partners, at the forefront of a rapidly evolving sector that links decarbonization, resource recovery and sustainable growth, to new opportunities for technology leadership and long-term value creation.
