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.“
