BURLINGTON, Ontario, December 24, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anaergia Inc. ("Anaergia" or the "Company") (TSX: ANRG) announced today that its Canadian subsidiary, Anaergia DB Inc., has entered into an integrated technology supply contract with PepsiCo Alimentos Z.F. LTDA ("PepsiCo") to provide its high-efficiency digestion technology and integrated biogas conditioning and upgrading technology at PepsiCo’s food production facility in Funza, part of the Metropolitan Area of Bogotá, Colombia.
