MagneGas will receive $2.65 million for its proprietary gasification and sterilization systems and will supply MagnesGas2 fuel, a fuel made from liquid waste, and cylinders. The sale marks a new era for the company as it seeks to expand the availability of its technology and MagneGas2 fuel across the European continent in the global $5 billion metal cutting fuel market, the company says.
Under the terms of the LOI, MagneGas will manufacture and deliver: 1) A 300-kilowatt (KW) stationary gasification system: 2) A 100-KW mobile sterilization system: 3) 250 cylinders full of MagneGas2; and 4) 50 MagneGas regulators.
A deposit of $25,000 has been received, with progress payments totaling $2.625 million due upon signature of the definitive agreements, construction completion and delivery of systems with related supplies. The LOI calls for exclusive distribution rights in Germany, with an option to purchase rights to certain additional countries with system deployments.
MagneGas says it has agreed to keep the name of the German company and the exact details of the LOI confidential until the parties enter into the definitive agreements. The gasification system will be used to produce MagneGas2 fuel to sell into the German market with the potential of other markets coming online soon after. The Sterilization system will be used for demonstrations and small service contracts with the goal of entering the agriculture and municipal wastewater treatment markets in Germany.
Ermanno Santilli, CEO of MagneGas says, “The entire MagneGas team is excited about this opportunity because it holds the potential to open up target markets that desperately need our technology and the fuel it can produce. This sale is the largest sale in the history of MagneGas and will provide us the opportunity to expand further into Europe. We believe this is one of the most significant events in the company's evolution and will help define our strategy for 2017 and beyond."
