2011 Renewable Energy Workshop- November 10, Wooster, Ohio: The workshop will offer opportunities to discuss and discover the latest sustainable practices and technology. quasar's V.P. of Engineering, Clemens Halene, will be presenting an industry prospective on anaerobic digestion.
Building an Industry with OARDC:
quasar energy group is introducing this renewable energy technology to Ohio. In 2008 quasar relocated its Engineering & Laboratory Offices to The Ohio State University’s Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) campus in Wooster, Ohio, to collaborate with the largest university agbioscience research center in the nation.
This private public partnership combines agricultural and biological research with an emerging industry in Ohio. Together, we can build a new service and component manufacturing industry that will bring new green collar jobs to Ohio. The quasar/OARDC relationship has been praised by The Wooster Daily Record for being “the first piece of the BioHio puzzle.”
In 2009, quasar, OARDC and the Ohio BioProducts Innovation Center partnered to construction the first F550 system on the Wooster campus. The Wooster plant has been designed to manage biomass in the forms of manure, crops and foodwaste from local sources. The Farm Digester is a small-scale version of quasar’s Industrial Digester, an example of which is operating in Columbus, Ohio.
The quasar/OARDC relationship is the first step in building a new clean industry in Ohio.
The building on the right is quasar’s Laboratory facility at the OARDC Wooster campus. The laboratory is home to eight pilot scale anaerobic digesters.
