pleased to announce that as part of the business of the AGM, to be held on 14th
May 2008, it will be proposed that Susan Mary Robertson be appointed to the
Board of Directors of the Company.

Susan joined Oxford Catalysts on 23rd October 2007 as Chief Financial Officer
following seventeen years at The BOC Group (now part of Linde AG). From its
inception in 2003 until 2006, Susan was Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of Japan Air Gases, then a £700 million turnover joint venture owned by
The BOC Group and Air Liquide.

Susan's previous experience with The BOC Group includes finance, commercial and
business development roles in the UK, globally and at head office. She trained
as a chartered accountant with Arthur Andersen and has an economics degree from
Cambridge University.

At the same time, Professor Malcolm Green (Non-executive Director), Dr Tiancun
Xiao (Executive Director) and Dr Will Barton (Executive Director), will be
stepping down from the Board at the AGM, although all will be remaining with the
Company. Dr Barton remains as Chief Operating Officer and Dr Xiao as Chief
Scientific Officer; both will continue being closely involved in the management
of the Company as part of the Executive Management Committee. Professor Green
remains a consultant to the Company, as well as Chairman of the Scientific
Advisory Panel.

The restructuring has been designed to streamline the Board and to meet
corporate governance best practice guidelines.



Chairman, Dr Pierre Jungels, CBE said:

'I would like to welcome Susan, and at the same time thank Malcolm, Tiancun and
Will for their significant contributions to the Board. I look forward to
continuing to work with all of them in the future.

'Going forward the Board's shape will meet corporate governance best practice
guidelines with two Executive Directors and three Non-executive Directors,
whilst at the same time being more appropriate for a company of the size of
Oxford Catalysts.'

The Directorships and Partnerships held by Susan Mary Robertson (43), now, and
over the five years preceding the date of appointment, are as follows:



Current Directorships/Partnerships

ordinary shares in the Company at an exercise price of £1.59 per share, which
were granted on 1st April 2008 pursuant to the Company's EMI Option Scheme.

There is no further information required to be disclosed under paragraph (g) of
Schedule 2 of the AIM rules.

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 bio-waste.
Its patented 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.

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, biogas,
steam applications and catalysis markets.

Oxford Catalysts has two key platform technologies. The first is for a novel
class of catalysts incorporating metal carbides, which can match or exceed the
benefits of traditional precious metal catalysts, at a lower cost, for several
key processes used in the petroleum and petrochemical industries. 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, coal or bio-mass into virtually sulphur-free liquid fuels via the
Fischer-Tropsch reaction (known as the GTL, CTL and BTL processes respectively),
and the transformation of biogas (waste methane) into syngas - the building 
block of liquid fuels.

The second platform relates to a series of unique chemical reactions which can
be used to generate steam at temperatures between 100 degrees C and 800 degrees
C+, instantaneously, starting from room temperature, using a cheap liquid fuel
alongside the Company's patented catalysts. Such unprecedented 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.

Oxford Catalysts Group PLC is listed on London's AIM market (coding symbol OCG).
