Nexus W2V breaks ground on Indiana-based Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex

Indiana’s organic waste management landscape is ready to transform with the groundbreaking of the Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex.
The project, privately funded and operated by a leading waste-to-value infrastructure developer Nexus W2V, is poised to deliver significant economic and environmental benefits to Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago area, including increased American domestic production of natural gas from food waste.
“Today marks a pivotal moment for Indiana as we solidify our position as a national leader in domestic energy production and waste management,” said State Sen. Mike Bohacek (R-Michiana Shores).
“The Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex is not just a facility; it demonstrates our commitment to energy independence, job creation and a more sustainable future for all Hoosiers.”
The facility is part of a $140 million planned investment by W2V and will process 200 tons of organic waste daily, such as food scraps and processing byproducts, to convert them into renewable natural gas.
This will help minimise costs and waste, as more than 40% of food produced in the US (nearly 915 pounds per person) is discarded, costing Americans an average of $1,500 per person annually to collect and landfill, according to the company.
By diverting this waste from landfills, the facility will significantly reduce this inefficiency, create American-made energy and jobs, and contribute to a more sustainable waste management ecosystem.
“We are pleased to see growth in the energy sector and opportunities for jobs and development at Kingsbury Industrial Park,” said local resident and La Porte County Council President Adam Koronka.
The Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex will be a major economic engine for Northwest Indiana, added the organisation.
At peak construction, it will generate 50-60 jobs, followed by dozens of long-term positions once operations begin.
By investing in local talent and infrastructure, Nexus W2V said it aims to actively contribute to the region economically while creating a more efficient solution for organic waste in and around the area.
“The Kingsbury Bioenergy Complex represents an incredible opportunity to make a lasting impact on the environment and create a more circular economy. We’re thrilled to partner with Indiana on this landmark project,” said Roshan Vani, CEO of Nexus W2V. “This is a decisive step toward a future where waste is transformed into a valuable resource.”
The facility recently broke ground and is scheduled for completion in late 2026.
