TAMPA, FL--(Marketwired - April 12, 2018) - 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 will participate in the Green Maritime Forum. The forum is a leading event in Europe today for innovation and environmentally solutions in the maritime industry. The forum will be held on April 23-24^th in Hamburg, Germany. More information can be found at the Green Marine Forum at https://www.greenmaritimeforum.com/about/event/.

"We are very pleased to be invited to participate in one of the leading clean technology events for the maritime industry," commented Ermanno Santilli, CEO of MagneGas. "This forum represents a significant commercial opportunity for MagneGas. The Green Marine Forum hosts several hundred leading executives and government representatives from the largest shipping and port organizations in Europe. We believe that the clear environmental benefits and safety aspects of the MagneGas2® product should be well received by our target audience. We are excited to attend, and we believe this is another strong example of how quickly we are generating a high degree of interest for our technology in Europe."

"The maritime industry and super ports, specifically, represent a compelling target market for MagneGas," commented Scott Mahoney, CFO of MagneGas. "Ports typically represent one of the highest concentrations of metal cutting fuel consumption due to the convergence of ocean going vessels, containers, rail, trucking and port infrastructure that require frequent maintenance. In addition, oil & gas storage and refining, utilities and other heavy industries are also commonly either co-located or in close proximity. Consequently, we feel this conference represents a significant event for MagneGas to attend and quickly build brand recognition for our MagneGas2® renewable fuel technology."
