Exhibit 99.12

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GENCOR RECEIVES CASH DISTRIBUTION FROM INVESTEES

On December 24, 2007, Gencor received $15.3 million in cash distributions from its investment in synthetic fuel operations.

Gencor Industries, Inc., previously announced its 45% interest in Carbontronics LLC and a 25% interest in Carbontronics Fuels LLC and Carbontronics II LLC which produce synthetic fuel. Net income arising from these investments is dependent upon tax credits generated as a result of synthetic fuel production, which is recorded as received. These distributions are subject to state and Federal income taxes.

The existing tax credit legislation is expiring at the end of calendar year 2007. Consequently, the four synthetic fuel plants are being decommissioned. The plants are in process of being sold or transferred to site owners in exchange for a release of all contracted liabilities related to the removal of plants from the sites. The administrative partner has informed the Company that there will be no operations in calendar 2008 and almost all of the partnership affairs will be finalized in early 2008. It is not possible to predict the amount, if any, of final distributions from the partnerships upon the final disposition and winding-up of operations.

Gencor Industries is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of applications.
