This private public partnership combines agricultural and biological research with an emerging American industry. quasar’s laboratory is home to a fleet of “pilot scale” digesters that simulate the operaOons of full-scale systems. The day to day acOviOes of quasar’s laboratory are validated by an OSU professor and his team of graduate and post-doctoral students. Laboratoryquasar energy group, llcquasar energy group, llc (quasar) is a Cleveland, Ohio based waste to energy company. quasar’s anaerobic digesOon renewable energy systems represent an aggregaOon of the best available technologies from over thirty European providers using US components. quasar provides turn-key design build services, engineering, regulatory guidance, outside biomass supply, and an addiOonal revenue stream in the forms of: energy sales, Opping fees, renewable energy credits and valuable byproducts. Our three basic systems are the: F330, F550 and F825. Who We Are* 30 - 55% includes ARRA, USDA and accelerated depreciaOon. OpportunityThe American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) o?ers a 30% tax free grant to companies who iniOate renewable energy projects before Dec. 31, 2011. Partnering with quasar to build an ecoFARMsystem construct an ecoFARMsystem allows farmers, developers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs to secure ARRA tax-free capital to significantly reduce the cost to own a system. 1) quasar has a proven process to secure 30 to 55%* of the system price.2) quasar systems are the least expensive process to generate energy.3) Our systems stabilize energy, waste disposal, and ferOlizer prices.4) Our systems provide no cost capital which reduces your total investment and can be reinvested into your core business.

Biogas can be used to generate electricity and thermal heat. Alternately, biogas can be cleaned, separated and dried using technology provided by Biogas Technologies Unlimited, LLC (BTU is a division of quasar) to produce natural gas (or biomethane) or further compressed to produce CNG (compressed natural gas). UNLIMITEDUNLIMITED F550 FToday, the most common methods for disposing of organic waste are landfilling and incineration. Both options pollute the air, soil, and water in surrounding communities without producing any beneficial products. quasar systems improve the regional environment by diverting organic waste from landfills and incinerators and processing it naturally to produce clean, renewable energy and nutrient rich soil amendments. Many food processing companies are interested in implementing clean methods of waste disposal. quasar can act as your outside biomass broker to secure these sources for your project. The energy and byproduct outputs a system can generate will vary based on the types and quantities of biomass it processes. The addition of food waste to a typical digester significantly increases biogas outputs. Food waste from manufacturers who produce products high in oil or sugar will yield higher energy results than waste from vegetable processors.
