Ohio University Grants ARSC’s American Hydrogen Corp Subsidiary Exclusive Worldwide License for Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Technology

Athens, OH-(BusinessWire) August 6, 2007 – American Security Resources Corp. (OTCBB: ARSC) and Ohio University (www.ohio.edu) announced today that American Hydrogen Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of ARSC, has been granted a worldwide exclusive license to commercialize the patent-pending catalytic electrolyzer technology developed by Ohio University’s Dr. Gerardine Botte, associate professor of Chemical and Bio-Molecular Engineering at the Russ College of Engineering and Technology.

Botte has developed a method for producing hydrogen from ammonia for a fraction of the current commercial cost. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel source in a wide range of applications, including transportation and energy production. 

Benjamin Schafer, president of American Hydrogen and CTO of Hydra Fuel Cell, said, “Working with Ohio and Dr. Botte, we have advanced this technology to a stage where we are ready to move to commercial applications. Our research indicates that we should be able to produce hydrogen commercially for significantly less per kilogram than by current industrial hydrogen production methods. We expect our first application to be a hydrogen generator for the HydraStax® fuel cells, but ultimately, we want this technology for economical hydrogen production to be widely distributed so as to unlock the promise of “The Hydrogen Economy”.”

Dr. Botte, looking forward to working with American Hydrogen to advance the technology, stated, ”It is really amazing to see the ammonia electrolysis technology being taken into the market place; that is the dream of any investigator and faculty member.” Botte continued, “Our interaction with American Hydrogen Corporation is excellent. We are really happy to partner with them, and we will support their goal of having products in the market very soon.”
