SHEC LABS launches Offering to fund construction of its first Renewable Solar Hydrogen Production Facility

SHEC LABS - Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation ("SHEC LABS") is pleased to announce the release of its Private Placement Offering Memorandum ("OM").

Aspects of the Solar Hydrogen Production Facility have been under design since October of 2005. The proceeds from this shares and warrants offering are intended to be used primarily to deploy the first phase of proposed SHEC Station #1, a Solar Hydrogen Production Facility at the Fleet Street Landfill in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The first phase of this proposed facility will include installing a gas collection and cleaning system to produce green synthetic natural gas from the City's landfill and then to further process this into Hydrogen with the installation of SHEC LABS' first 5 solar hydrogen production modules.

An expansion to 30 solar hydrogen production modules is planned in subsequent years. As well, management of SHEC LABS expects the Corporation will perform research and development of a "Direct Water Splitting" technology at this proposed facility.

The proposed facility, once fully deployed, has the potential to prevent more than 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) from entering the atmosphere over a twenty year period, improve local air quality and reduce smog. Theoretically, the technology deployed at SHEC Station #1 by SHEC LABS can be reproduced at thousands of landfill locations around the world and can be expanded to apply not only to landfills, but also to biogas, flare gas and vent gas from the oil and gas industry, stranded gas, coal bed methane and natural gas.

This Private Placement Offering is being conducted in accordance with the OM requirements of National Instrument 45-106 and is available to most residents of Canada. SHEC LABS is offering 4,000,000 units to the public at $2.50 per unit. Each unit consists of one Class A common share and one-half (½) of one Class A common share purchase warrant. Each share purchase warrant has an exercise price of $3.50 per share and an expiration date of December 30, 2007.

Under the new 45-106 rules, almost any Canadian resident is able to invest in a pre-public company such as SHEC LABS. The new rules allow an investor to invest without having to be an "Accredited Investor" (except in the province of Ontario where an investor is still required to be accredited), or without having to make a minimum investment of $150,000 as was previously required in most Canadian provinces. The minimum investment under the terms of the OM is $2,500.

Management of SHEC LABS also expects significant participation from European investors in this Private Placement Offering, continuing a trend of European investment in SHEC LABS dating back to 2004. The Corporation is also exploring investment possibilities from US-based investors.

"SHEC LABS received tremendous interest in this shares and warrants offering even prior to the OM being available" said Thomas Beck, CEO of SHEC LABS. "I am pleased to report that to date we have received approximately 1,000 requests for the OM."
