Ze-gen is focused on delivering “modules” as standard products to the marketplace. Each Ze-gen module will generate 30 megawatt hours of net electrical output through the processing of 450 tons of C&D or MSW per day, with zero emissions associated with the transformation of solid waste into syngas.

Ze-gen is partnering with New Bedford Waste Services (NBWS), a waste transfer station in New Bedford, Massachusetts. NBWS has perfected the processing of raw C&D waste, recovering the recyclable material from the waste stream and removing for proper disposal any material that contains harmful compounds. The final product, called C&D residual, looks similar to finely ground wood chips and is Ze-gen's primary feedstock for gasification.
