MagneGas Announces Additional Gasification Unit Sale of $1.58 Million for European Market

TAMPA, FL--(Marketwired - October 17, 2017) - MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MNGA), a leading clean technology company in the renewable resources and environmental solutions industries, announced today the sale of an additional gasification unit for $1.58 million. The gasification unit will be placed in either the Nordics region for retail gas distribution or in a large steel mill in continental Europe to produce MagneGas2®. This order is an acceleration of the previously announced European consulting agreement. As a result of the newly formed consulting agreement with MagneGas, the European marketing partner has been able to accelerate certain business development opportunities in Europe beyond the immediate German market.

"This is an encouraging development for the Company and is part of the pipeline of unit placements we expect to deploy in the coming months and years in Europe," commented Ermanno Santilli, CEO of MagneGas. "This unit will either be placed in the Nordics region to produce MagneGas2® from Butanol or it will be placed in continental Europe at a large steel mill to produce MagneGas2® for exclusive use on-site. Ultimately, we expect both locations to become near term hubs for gas production beyond the primary German operations. Both opportunities are excellent and play into the strength of our propriety technology. Our partners and their blue-chip consultant's due diligence demonstrated a strong demand for MagneGas2® to replace acetylene due to its safer overall characteristics, its renewability and its improved performance."

"We were impressed by the quality of the opportunity pipeline that our distributor in Europe has developed in a relatively short period of time and this latest opportunity demonstrates continued success in penetrating a customer base which is ready for a replacement product to legacy acetylene," commented MagneGas CFO Scott Mahoney. "According to due diligence and discussions with our consulting partners, there is strong and immediate end market demand for our MagneGas2® core product in Europe. These innovative potential customers are attracted by the renewability of MagneGas2® and the desire to introduce a completely new operational opportunity to reduce their environmental impact while obtaining a more efficient and safer product."
