Quasar energy services
Just last week quasar picked up about10 tons of discarded food at an Indians game. Quasar’s commercial customer base is heavily concentrated in Cleveland and includes a casino, a food court, and the company handles the tonnage of wasted food generated at two major ball league stadiums: homes to the Indians and Browns. Already six states have their own policies requiring commercial food waste generators to recycle rather than landfill if there’s a facility nearby, according to Patrick Serfass, executive director of the American Biogas Council. And the company services commercial waste generators, a sector whose unused, rotting food rapidly accumulates while the federal government tightens regulations to better manage it. But there’s a model for farmers looking to repurpose organic waste. Quasar’s heaviest strategic focus is on a service model for wastewater treatment plants. Or they buy processed waste to make the end products themselves, says Alan Johnson, the renewable energy company’s vice president of project development. They buy finished byproducts like electricity. Additionally, the energy company offers multiple product and service options.Ĭustomers buy quasar’s AD technology or the company provides the service for them. Its marketing approach is multipronged, with a main customer sell being it’s a cheaper way to manage waste streams while generating resources from them like electricity, CNG and fertilizers. The company has 14 anaerobic digestion projects across several states. Anaerobic digestion (AD) technology is moving forward in the US, with just over 181 facilities processing municipal solid waste, according to the Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF).Īmong those capitalizing on this alternative food waste management system is quasar energy group.
