"We are making steady progress as evidenced by our increased sales and addition of premier customers including a top five U.S. utility company one of the largest cement companies in North America the Fire Department of NY and fire departments nationwide among others. These high profile customers and early adopters validate our technology as MagneGas continues to gain industry recognition as a safer and more effective alternative to acetylene" said MagneGas’s CEO Ermanno Santilli.

The company’s promising hydrogen-based fuel is looking to make waves in the industry as a greener natural gas alternative that has lower emissions than any fossil fuel currently on the market.

MagneGas has also launched an aggressive sales effort for liquid waste processing pursuing international customers through social media industry events and a network of independent brokers.

In March 2015 MagneGas hosted the World Water Day Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in partnership with The Jack Brewer Foundation (JBF Worldwide) and the U.S. Federation for Middle East Peace (USFMEP) to raise awareness for the company’s technology capable of sterilizing waste water and liquid manure for agricultural use in order to save potable water for other purposes.

Several developing nations have expressed interest in purchasing and using MagneGas’s technology.

The company is also making progress in the marketing of MagneGas2(R) for the co-combustion of hydro-carbon fuels with greater efficiency and the significant reduction of emissions.

"We are extremely encouraged by the outlook for this business line as it has the potential to save customers millions in costly retrofits to meet new environmental regulations. We look forward to providing further updates in the near future" said Santilli.
