Columbus Business Journal, Others Report on Ohio U-American Hydrogen Ammonia-to-Hydrogen Clean Energy Pact

Business Wire, August 9, 2007

HOUSTON -- American Security Resources Corp. (OTCBB:ARSC) announced today that several news organizations have reported on the alliance between its subsidiary, American Hydrogen Corp., and Ohio University (www.ohio.edu) to commercialize the patent-pending, zero emission, ammonia-to-hydrogen 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.

Dr. Botte's method for producing hydrogen from ammonia for a fraction of the current commercial cost of production makes hydrogen competitive with gasoline for transportation and it is a completely clean fuel.
