MagneGas to Apply for Advanced Biofuels Grant to Produce Multi-Fuel Gasification System

TAMPA, Florida, October 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental solutions industries, announced today that the Company is applying for an innovative grant to produce a multi-fuel gasification system which is small, efficient and cost effective. The grant is supported by the Small Business Innovation Research Program, National Institute of Food & Agriculture and is led by the United States Department of Agriculture, which recently awarded MagneGas its first grant. The stated purpose of the grant is to develop a new type of gasification system which follows the principles of clean coal technology, by transforming low efficiency fuels such as coal or wood, and gasifying it into a syngas.

"Our first federal grant from the USDA opened the door to a variety of additional grants associated with small gasification systems utilizing off the shelf components. This latest application relates to our fourth-generation design, which is under development, to gasify a variety of solid and liquid fuels," commented MagneGas CEO Ermanno Santilli. "Typical gasification systems are quite large, costing upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars and are not multi-fuel capable. We believe our fourth-generation gasification systems are ideally suited to more efficiently gasify a variety of materials such as wood, plastics and liquids. Using the knowledge we gained from our years of experience in small gasification systems, I am confident that we can leverage this expertise to develop even more flexible gasification technologies that can process a myriad of solid and liquid fuels into a syngas with a wide range of applications."

"Our innovative gasification system, supported by multiple patents, has operated with many different feedstocks over the years, which has prepared us for this next important evolution of our systems--namely a fourth-generation gasification system with multi-fuel capability," commented MagneGas CFO Scott Mahoney. "This grant and others play to MagneGas' strengths, especially as it relates to small systems which are economically produced using our breakthrough technology. The blue-sky revenue opportunity associated with a multi-fuel capable gasification system, already supported by our existing patents and a new provisional patent application, is significant to the company and to our shareholders."
