Anaergia’s first project for BioHold, backed by Pietro Fiorentini and Vesper Next Generation Infrastructure Fund
TREVIGLIO, Italy & BURLINGTON, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia”, the “Company”, “us”, or “our”) (TSX:ANRG; OTCQX:ANRGF), through its subsidiary, Anaergia S.r.l., entered into a joint venture with Tozzi Sud and Isolmec Group, each a significant participant in the construction sector in Italy, 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 project, Ora Biogas, is Anaergia’s first project for BioHold.

The facility is expected to begin operations by June 2026. The joint venture’s total contract is for approximately C$22 million.
“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,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia. “By leveraging our recognized expertise and proven solutions, this project will deliver meaningful economic and environmental benefits from agricultural residues. Therefore, we are pleased to be part of this new project, our first one for BioHold.”

The construction of the Ora Biogas plant represents a concrete step toward a more sustainable energy future and reaffirms the commitment of our industrial group in contributing to the development of innovative infrastructure for the country’s ecological transition.”
