History
In family-owned plant “La Metallotecnica”, Rossi created the “Dragon” division, which specialized in the production of waste incinerators with energy recovery, and of smoke purification plants. For which he obtained patents. News of the Rossi procedure was reported by major Italian newspapers.
Jimmy Carter showed his interest in the technology, and offered Rossi a permanent entry visa to the United States. After ten months’ work and a financial investment of half a billion Lire, Petroldragon had a facility that produced twenty tons of fuel oil a day, transforming one hundred tons of organic waste.
In the early 1990s the company was disbanded following accusations of dumping environmental toxins, as well as tax fraud. Its assets were seized, together with Rossi's personal assets, and Andrea Rossi was arrested and imprisoned. Subsequently released, Rossi emigrated to the United States, and went on to found Leonardo Technology Incorporated. More than 10 years after his imprisonment, Rossi was acquitted.
