ATLANTIC HYDROGEN COMPLETES $5,400,000 FINANCING

September 4, 2007 (Fredericton, NB)
Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. has closed a second tranche $4,760,000 equity financing round with Acadian Securities Inc. of Halifax, NS acting as Agent. The first tranche of $640,000 closed on May 29, 2007 as previously announced. This marks the first involvement of commercial investors in Atlantic Hydrogen Inc.

Lead investors in the financing were Kyoto Capital Partners Inc. of Vancouver, BC, and the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation. Other investors in this round include private shareholders from New Brunswick and abroad, a number of them having participated in past rounds. The proceeds of this private placement will be used to fund the company's activities in the demonstration and commercialization of their CarbonSaverTM technology.

"We are pleased to see the first commercial investment in our company in addition to new private investment," said David Wagner, President of Atlantic Hydrogen. "Our company is at an important growth stage as we prepare to move our CarbonSaverTM technology out of the lab and into field trials. This financing will allow us to continue to advance this important work. The reduction of greenhouse gases and other pollutants is getting a lot of attention these days, and our technology can make a significant contribution in achieving emission targets."

Damien Reynolds, representing Kyoto Capital Partners Inc., has been appointed to the AHI Board of Directors.

"Mr. Reynolds is a welcomed addition to our Board," said C. William Stanley, Chairman and CEO of Atlantic Hydrogen. "He brings a wealth of experience in the public markets to our team. He has a clear vision for companies in the burgeoning cleantech sector. We look forward to his contribution as we continue to build our company."
Atlantic Hydrogen is in the design stage of a prototype CarbonSaverTM that will be built this fall and demonstrated in 2008.
