CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Alternative fuels production offers huge opportunities with diversification ranging from waste-to gas, coal-to-ethanol and natural gas innovations for the Major Integrated Oil & Gas sector.  Basic Material Companies in focus today are:  MagneGas® Corporation  (NASDAQ: MNGA), Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE), Encana Corporation (NYSE: ECA), ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) and Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEIX)

MagneGas Corporation (NASDAQ: MNGA) is a leading technology company. Included in the Company's IP portfolio is a patented process that converts liquid waste into MagneGas® fuel. Today the Company announced that its subsidiary, Equipment Sales and Services Inc. (ESSI) has signed a contract to open a sales and service outlet into North Central Florida.    A 50/50 joint venture was established with Suwannee Ironworks ("Suwannee"), an existing client. This allows for the distribution of MagneGas® in areas not currently serviced by the Company, as well as opening up additional potential revenue opportunities from gas and welding supplies. The expanded location also allows MagneGas to capitalize on authorized distributor contracts with Lincoln and Miller, which would not be possible without an already an existing distributorship.  The Company expects that this new joint venture will launch MagneGas® into North Florida, from Tallahassee to Jacksonville, as well as from Southern Georgia to Gainesville, FL.  MagneGas's subsidiary, ESSI, will provide the inventory, proprietary distributorships, accounting and billing management while Suwanee will provide the commercial location, shipping, transportation, and personnel to operate the new location for the joint venture.  The Company believes this will allow them to service existing MagneGas clients with all their industrial needs which was previously difficult due to distance.

"ESSI was purchased as a platform to not only sell MagneGas®, but to service industrial welding needs as well. Our new location will allow us to service existing MagneGas clients which was previously impracticable due to distance," stated Jack Armstrong, Executive Vice President Operations for MagneGas and ESSI.  "We purchased ESSI to expand MagneGas sales and growth. Many clients prefer a 'one stop shop' and having a local physical location should attract additional clients to MagneGas® fuel. The official opening is scheduled for July 1 but our sales and marketing efforts have already commenced."   Ernie Caparelli, one of the owners of Suwanee Ironworks, commented, "Through our many business relationships in the area, we anticipated being able to provide a significant impact on MagneGas's sales growth and service in this new market. Local knowledge is critical to success in North Florida.  Suwannee Ironworks has been in business for over 30 years and our long standing contacts will allow us to gain immediate traction in the market.
