Oxford Catalysts, the leading catalyst innovator for clean fuels, announces
that, as previously indicated, Paul Barnes, Finance Director, is stepping down
from the Board with immediate effect.

Paul has served as part-time Finance Director since the Group's admission to AIM
in April 2006, but the rapid growth of the Company now necessitates a full-time
role. Susan Robertson FCA joined the Company from The BOC Group / Linde as Chief
Financial Officer in October of this year and Paul has kindly stayed on for this
interim period to ensure a smooth handover.

Commenting on Paul Barnes' departure, Dr Pierre Jungels CBE, Chairman of Oxford
Catalysts said:

'Paul has been an asset to the Company and we are all sad to see him go. Oxford
Catalysts is rapidly progressing down the path to commercialisation which means
that a full-time CFO is now required. I would like to take this opportunity to
thank Paul and wish him the best of luck for the future.

'Susan has substantial financial and commercial experience gained in a
multi-national blue-chip environment, within a relevant industry area. The
handover has gone smoothly and we look forward to working with Susan going
forward.'

Notes to Editors

Oxford Catalysts Group PLC, the leading catalyst innovator for clean fuels,
designs and develops specialty catalysts for the generation of clean fuels from
both conventional fossil fuels and certain renewable sources such as biomass.
Its patent-pending technology is the result of almost 20 years of research at
the University of Oxford's prestigious Wolfson Catalysis Centre, headed by
Professor Malcolm Green, one of the world's most respected inorganic chemists.
Oxford Catalysts was founded by Professor Green and Dr Xiao in October 2004 and
was admitted to trading on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on 26th
April 2006, having raised £15m before expenses from a solid base of
institutional investors.

Oxford Catalysts' strategy is to license its catalysts for commercial
application by entering into co-development partnerships with leading
manufacturers, producers and suppliers in the petroleum, petrochemicals, fuel
cells, biogas, steam applications and catalysis markets.

Oxford Catalysts has two key platform technologies. The first is for a novel
class of catalysts made from metal carbides which, for certain reactions, can
match or exceed the benefits of traditional precious metal catalysts at a lower
cost. Applications of these metal-carbide catalysts include the removal of
sulphur from crude oil fractions (known as hydro-desulphurisation or HDS), the
conversion of natural gas or coal into virtually sulphur-free liquid fuels via
the Fischer-Tropsch reaction (known as the GTL and CTL processes respectively),
and the transformation of biogas (waste methane) into syngas ?? the building
block of liquid fuels.

The second platform relates to chemical reactions involving a liquid containing
a renewable fuel, such as methanol, ethanol or glycerol, and dilute hydrogen
peroxide. The company's novel catalyst can be used to release hydrogen gas from
this liquid, instantaneously starting from room temperature. This groundbreaking
Instant Hydrogen technology has the potential to significantly accelerate the
commercial adoption of fuel cells in the portable and other mobile markets, by
providing the much needed source of cheap, safe, transportable hydrogen.

Another of the company's catalysts can be used to produce steam at temperatures
between 100(o)C and 800(o)C+ instantaneously starting from room temperature,
from a liquid fuel containing dilute hydrogen peroxide and either an alcohol,
sugar, glycerol, starch or formic acid. Such Instant Steam could have important
applications in a broad range of markets, from cleaning and disinfecting, to
green energy in the form of motive power or electricity.
