SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS
Our expert staff of scientists, chemists, and engineers have developed proprietary technologies that solve several major pollution stream problems at a fraction of the cost than much larger companies who offer little to no profitable outcome. These solutions have been designed to eliminate pollution and repurpose these fundamentally important molecules within many of the world’s most difficult waste streams – waste plastic, municipal solid waste, scrap tires, and more. Their efforts have produced remarkable results in generating significant energy and valuable ASTM qualified byproducts.

Chris Cuvar
Co-Founder/Chief Technical Officer/Board Member
As Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Cuvar has extensive understanding of mechanical engines, power plant operations, and design, as well as a background in nuclear physics and metallurgy (including frequency effects on atomic structures) and organic chemistry (hydrocarbon combustion and HazMat chemistry). He leads a coalition of scientists who have developed the QC-GAS™ process. His experience includes the design and fabrication of mechanical components using both rare and common materials, and extensive work with magnetics and their effects on water and metals. He is also an effective instructor and liaison/problem solver between PhD engineers and field implementers.
