About Q2Power Technologies

Q2Power's technology provides a new, cost-effective solution to dispose of waste by converting it to electricity and useful heat. Because of its containerized, modular design, the system can be deployed with minimal time and expense at thousands of small-scale facilities that must dispose of waste such as used fuels, methane and biogas, at increasingly greater costs. Q2Power installed its first system this summer at an Ohio wastewater treatment plant and is on track to deploy commercial units to meet customer demand for both liquid and gaseous fuels systems early in 2016.
