BenchMark Energy Corporation Announces New Sales

HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- BenchMark Energy Corporation (OTC: BMRK). BenchMark Energy Corporation is pleased to announce that is has received a purchase order from Carmeuse Lime of Butler, Kentucky to provide 75,000 gallons of glycerin on a weekly basis.  

The terms of the order call for a minimum delivery of 75,000 gallons of glycerin per week on an on going basis.  Benchmark and its subsidiary Energy Partners, LLC anticipates that this could increase revenue by as much as $200,000 or more per month.

Carmeuse Lime will use the glycerin as a green energy source at their coal burning facility which will have a two fold impact.  First, the glycerin will improve the efficiency of the production from the coal.  Secondly, it will significantly reduce the emissions and impact on the local environment produced by the coal output at the facility.  "This is a win-win situation for BenchMark and Carmeuse," said Mark Bateman, BenchMark's CEO.  "The Company provides a natural result of bio-diesel, glycerin, an environmentally friendly product to a much maligned energy source like coal; and, it limits the coal's harmful results and improves the impact on the environment," he further states.

For more information on Energy Partners, LLC, Glycerin, its uses and benefits, and BenchMark Energy Corporation, please see our website at http://www.benchmarkenergy.net.  While the demand for glycerin has remained stable, the demand for refined glycerin, technical grade and higher, has risen.  BenchMark Energy has focused its attention on distribution and refinement of glycerin in the energy and pharmaceutical industries.
