Using gasification technology, Ze-gen converts C&D and MSW into zero-emissions Syngas and electrical energy. The company has demonstrated its technology at a prototype plant in Massachusetts and is now ready for commercialization.
Waste-to-Energy industry has been around for a long time. In fact, the first anaerobic digester was built around 1850, but the technologies have never been fully commercialized. The dramatic price increase in the other energy sources - coal, oil, natural gas - has made it possible for investors to look at Waste as a 'serious' feedstock.
Of course, its kind of hard to ignore when the market is as big as 4 Billion tons every year!

Ze-gen, Inc. is a renewable energy company that is emerging as a leader in the development of advanced gasification technology for converting wood debris and other solid waste streams into a synthesis gas (syngas) mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. This syngas is a renewable fuel which can be used to offset consumption of fossil fuels in conventional power and industrial facilities.
