Burlington, ON – October 6, 2026 – BerQ RNG, an innovative developer, owner and operator of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) facilities headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of assets from Sevana Bioenergy. The transaction includes the Rialto Bioenergy Facility, an organic waste anaerobic digestion to RNG facility located in Rialto, California, together with a pipeline of dairy and swine manure RNG development projects in Idaho, California and Kansas. The transaction diversifies BerQ RNG’s current portfolio (both in terms of feedstock and geography) and underscores BerQ’s experience as a multi-feedstock RNG platform.
The Rialto Bioenergy Facility is designed to process up to 1,000 tons per day of food waste diverted from municipal solid waste streams, liquid organic waste and municipal biosolids, and has the capacity to produce up to 1 million MMBtu of RNG annually. The facility is connected directly to the Southern California Gas Company pipeline network through a dedicated pipeline injection facility. By diverting organic waste from landfills, the facility helps Southern California jurisdictions meet the organic waste diversion requirements of California Senate Bill 1383 and supports the state’s goals for reducing short-lived climate pollutants.
“The Rialto Bioenergy Facility is a unique, large-scale asset that fits squarely within our strategy of owning and operating high-impact RNG infrastructure across North America,” said Bas van Berkel, CEO of BerQ RNG. “We look forward to applying our operating expertise to optimize performance at Rialto,working closely with the City of Rialto, our feedstock partners and the local community, and to advancing the development projects in Idaho, California and Kansas.”
Legal counsel was provided by King & Spalding LLP to BerQ RNG and Kirkland & Ellis LLP to Sevana Bioenergy.
