("Oxford Catalysts" or "the Group" or "the Company")

IHS CERAWeek 2013

Oxford Catalysts Group (OCG.L), the smaller scale Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) technology innovator, is pleased to announce that Roy Lipski, CEO, will be joining other industry leaders in providing insight on key strategic energy-related topics at the prestigious IHS CERAWeek 2013 conference in Houston, Texas this week.

Roy Lipski's keynote is scheduled for Wednesday 6th March at 11:20 a.m. CST.

As the development of shale plays in North America continues, driving the price of natural gas to $4/mmbtu and below, much attention is being focused on the implications of the historically low gas price in comparison to other energy commodities. At the CERAWeek strategic session "Capturing the Spread: Turning North American Natural Gas into Higher-value Products", Roy Lipski will highlight how smaller scale GTL is uniquely placed to capture these price spreads and realise high value from shale gas and other gas resources. Alongside him will be presenting senior representatives from Sasol, Dow and LyondellBasell.

IHS CERAWeek is the leading gathering of senior energy decision-makers from around the world. Three hundred speakers, including senior industry executives, thought leaders and government officials will present and facilitate discussion on the world's changing energy markets during the week-long conference.

Roy Lipski, CEO of Oxford Catalysts Group, said:

"Multi-billion dollar conventional GTL projects are an option for only a handful of large players at only a few locations. Smaller scale GTL, based on the use of Velocys technology, opens up the market to the majority of energy companies. We see worldwide opportunities for smaller scale GTL; whilst in North America, it is an especially good fit for the challenge of monetising remote or low-value gas resources of 10 million scf/day or more, from either conventional fields, shale or associated gas."

Oxford Catalysts enables Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) plants to convert unconventional, remote and problem gas into valuable liquid fuels. Systems based on the Group's technology (marketed under the brand name Velocys) are significantly smaller than those using conventional technology, enabling modular plants that can be deployed cost effectively in remote locations and on smaller fields than is possible

with competing systems. Together with world-class partners, Oxford Catalysts provides complete smaller scale GTL solutions that address an untapped market of up to 25 million barrels of fuel a day.

Oxford Catalysts Group PLC is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (LSE: OCG). The Group has some 85 employees with facilities near Oxford, UK and Columbus, Ohio, USA.
