About Terreva Renewables

Process

Within landfills and wastewater digesters, the anaerobic digestion of organic waste produces methane that can be captured and processed into pipeline-quality natural gas.

Terreva partners with local governments and private landfill owners to convert methane produced by landfills and wastewater digesters into RNG.

Our proven processes, experience and relationships enable us to implement projects swiftly and in alignment with environmental and regulatory requirements.

Partnerships

Terreva unites world-class capabilities and expertise with creative and agile execution.

We take pride in providing tailored solutions that align with our partners’ needs. From regulatory compliance and permitting to working effectively with the local community, we address their priorities through every step of the project.

Our extensive experience includes partnering with a wide range of private and municipal waste processors.
