Vista International Technologies, Inc. announced that it has begun construction on the company's previously announced northeastern US pilot Waste-to-Energy project. This project will utilize the next generation of Vista's gasification technology, the MFG-8 Thermal Gasifier, and is the beginning of a multiple phase plan by the host company to reduce the amount of waste it landfills. The MFG-8 Thermal Gasifier to be used in this project expands on the success of Vista's previous installations, which span three continents, and is capable of converting virtually any hydrocarbon-based feedstock into usable energy.

Upon successful completion of this project, the second phase of the plan will involve the installation of a larger, permanent Waste-to-Energy installation at the host company's site. This project is being fully funded by the host company.
