Gasification is a chemical reaction caused by heating material in an oxygen-starved environment, resulting in incomplete combustion that drives off carbon-rich gases. These gasses are then combusted in a thermal oxidizer with the addition of air potentially powering electric generation. An additional by-product can be valuable bio char, depending on the source of input material.

Gasification provides an array of benefits including:
- The ability to turn by-products and out-of-spec materials into revenue streams.
- Reducing or eliminating costs now associated with non-product material disposal.
- Formulating various grades of Biochar from a variety of fuel sources, with those from animal manures having especially high value.
- Greater potential for sale of by-products in more stable form.
- Significant reduction of mass of original material decreases transportation costs.
- Control over energy production.
- Freedom from escalating energy prices and foreign control.
- Destruction of odors as part of the gasification process.
- Meeting regulatory requirements with an alternative solution.
- Halting the release of non-beneficial nutrients to waterways as a result of runoff from farm fields and storage piles.
- Protection for a community’s economy that depends on clean air and water.
