Marquis Energy Licenses GreenShift’s Patented Corn Oil Extraction Technology April 27, 2010 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GreenShift Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GERS - News) today announced its execution of an agreement with Marquis Energy, LLC (“Marquis Energy”),
pursuant to which GreenShift has granted Marquis Energy a license to use
GreenShift’s patented corn oil extraction technologies at Marquis
Energy’s 100 million gallon ethanol plant in Hennepin, Illinois.
Under the terms of the agreement, Marquis Energy will operate its
existing facility based on GreenShift’s patented corn oil extraction
technologies. In addition, GreenShift will provide Marquis Energy with
technical support, yield optimization and corn oil marketing services
with a view towards maximizing the performance and benefits of Marquis
Energy’s existing corn oil extraction installation.
Mark Marquis, President and General Manager of Marquis Energy, stated
that: “We are confident that the license with GreenShift is a
win-win for both companies. The financial structure provides natural
incentives for both Marquis Energy and GreenShift as we each gain from
increased performance, yield and product value. GreenShift invented and
patented its corn oil extraction processes, and the superior process
knowledge and technical expertise of GreenShift’s team is clear. In only
a few weeks, GreenShift was able to review our currently installed
equipment and implement a technical plan that included a series of
adjustments to systematically improve the reliability and production of
our existing extraction system. Current results indicate that GreenShift
has more than doubled our oil yields. We believe that we will make more
money with GreenShift than without.”
David Winsness, GreenShift’s Chief Technology Officer, added: “We could
not be more pleased to earn Marquis’ business and we are committed to
deliver the level of excellence and value that Marquis expects.“
GreenShift’s technical services staff are available at 888-ETHANOIL or sales@greenshift.com
to respond to quotation requests and to answer any questions about
GreenShift’s corn oil extraction and other technologies.
