Technology Transfer from the University of Oxford

Oxford Catalysts

www.oxfordcatalysts.com

Oxford Catalysts produces specialy catalysts for the generation of clean fuels, from both conventioanl fossil fuels and renewable sources such as biomass.

The Company's patent-pending intellectual property and technology is the result of 19 years of research at the University of Oxford's prestigious Wolfson Catalysis Centre, headed by company co-founder Professor Malcom Green, one of the word's most respected inorganic chemists.

Each of the catalysts boasts several of the following key benefits:

* Greater cost effectiveness
* Higher productivity (double in some cases)
* Better selectivity (leading to higher quality output)
* Increased resistance to contaminanats
* Longer operational life

Core products include catalysts for the following markets:

* Petro/chemicals: removing sulphur from gasoline/diesel and converting natural gas or coal into ultraclean liquid fuels
* Fuel Cells: generating hydrogenon-demand from methanol starting at room temperature or from conventialal hydrocarbon fuels by reforming at higher temperatures
* Biogas Conversion: transforming waste methane into the chemical building blocks of liquid fuels
* Portable Steam: creating superheated steam instantaneously from methanol and hydrogen peroxide
