British Engineers Reveal Scale of Threat and Clean up Gulf of Mexico

LONDON, July 30, 2010 - Today, British clean tech company Ultra Green unveils its new technology
that can potentially clean up the majority of the estimated four million
barrels of oil spilled in the Gulf of Mexico by the end of September. After
successfully passing all rigorous safety checks to ensure the rig is
seaworthy, the first Ultra Green Oil Harvester is being launched from
Gulfport in a trial to test its ability to soak up oil.

Ultra Green's technology is a unique membrane, originally developed for
algae technology by the US military. The membrane soaks up only oil, unlike
conventional skimmers which suck up water as well. Deployed in belts on
submerged rollers mounted on towed platforms, it will gather oil from the
surface to a depth of up to 15 feet.

Oil is released by compression and the belt is re-submerged into the
water, ensuring continuous collection. The oil is siphoned into barges, and
taken away to be cleaned and reused, rather than being burned at sea or
dumped in landfill. The arrays are designed specifically to be fitted simply
and quickly to local fishing boats and other vessels without the need for
major modifications.

Ultra Green's oil collection rigs can be scaled up to a fleet big enough
to remove the surface and subsurface oil in weeks. To carry the operation of
this size the company is calling for financial backing to the tune of US $250
million - a fraction of what has been spent on attempts to clean up the
spillage so far.

To coincide with the demonstration of its ability to remove spilled
subsurface oil, Ultra Green is publishing a report highlighting what a range
of observers believe will be the long term impact of the Deepwater Horizon
disaster on the health, environment and economy of the Southern States
(please contact Sophie Scutt for a summary of key findings).

The company warns that while the spilled oil may be less evident as it
drops to just below the surface, often with the encouragement of
controversial chemical dispersants, it remains a major threat to the health
of the environment, wildlife and the human population.

Ultra Green CEO David Weaver, a former Managing Director of BP Northern
Europe Gas, Power and Renewables and an international authority on oil spill
clear up said: "No one should be under any illusion that the problem is over,
the work of remediation is only just beginning. If harmful chemicals have
been absorbed in the ocean, these can be converted to a gaseous hydrogen
compound which can be released at varying temperatures. There is growing
evidence that there is more oil chemistry contamination in the water below
the surface than anyone has yet owned up to and the effects will be difficult
to predict."

He also added that while the oil industry was essential to the economy of
the Southern States "It must clean up its act as well as the oil spill or
there will be a further erosion of trust which could even threaten more
jobs."

In addition to removing oil at depths of 5, 10 or 15 feet, Ultra Green is
confident that it also has technology to remediate the ocean floor and to
safely convert toxic landfill waste to useable energy.
