Another technology it is looking at: a small gasifier that will heat woody waste to create natural gas.

FORBES: Technology

It develops anaerobic digesters that convert organic waste into biogas used to generate electricity, heat, natural gas and motor vehicle fuel (CNG). quasar already operates eight facilities in Ohio, and several more are in process in the Buckeye State and elsewhere.
