| Stephen Hargreaves |
Executive Chairman / CEO, DOB: 08.04.59 |
 |
Steve's experience includes the successful establishment of several companies, capital raising, and the management of public companies for the commercialisation of inventions. In 1996 he was using the services of the world's largest automotive research development laboratory known as AVL List GmbH in Graz, Austria for the research and development of automotive products. At AVL, Steve was introduced to Mr Bernd Pfeifer, the then Deputy Vice President of Engineering, Sales and Marketing of AVL. Mr Pfeifer was later to become a joint founding director of International Innovations Limited.
Stemming from this relationship built over the years at AVL with Mr Pfeifer, Steve conceived the idea of creating a public company for global commercialisation and marketing of automotive innovations, to provide benefits to investors from the automotive and other related industries. Steve invited Mr Bernd Pfeifer to join this venture and with an expert team selected by Mr Pfeifer from his contacts in industry, amassed over a period of 30 years, IIL is now a reality.
Steve is responsible for the day to day business activities of IIL. |

| Ian Kiernan AO |
| Director, DOB: 04.10.40 |
 |
Ian is the founder and chairman of "Clean Up Australia" (www.cleanup.com.au) and "Clean Up the World" ( www.cleanuptheworld.org) which are organisations devoted to improving environmental awareness and campaigning for a cleaner environment. He is presently also interested in founding another branch, "Clean Up Business & Industry".
On 6th July 2007, after becoming interested in our environmentally friendly waste heat engine family (AMPS, EUROAMPS & MOREAMPS), Ian was appointed to the board of IIL directors.
In a combustion engine (for example a bio-diesel generator), usually only 35% of the energy available from the fuel is converted into useful energy. Unfortunately, the remaining 65% of the energy is thrown away in the form of heat: 30% exhaust waste-heat, 30% coolant waste-heat, and 5% ambient waste-heat. Our family of waste heat engines are designed to convert wasted heat into useful electrical energy, thus increasing the efficiency of the engine. The application of these devices is not limited to combustion engines. Waste heat is created in many situations such as air conditioning, and it is currently being investigated as to whether sunlight could be harnessed for use in hot climates.
Another product owned by IIL is the QISS clutch for transmissions. This device removes the hydraulic oil system from the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) currently popular in the automotive industry. QISS is an electrical/mechanical clutch for controlling CONE clutches in a launch device. The removal of oil, the hydraulic pump and other parts is anticipated to make the DCT smaller, lighter and cheaper.
There is a huge global market for both the waste heat engines and the QISS clutch, and with Ian's help, IIL envisage these two products making a significant contribution to cleaning up the automotive and power generation industries.

Also developing and building of sulphur waste gas combustion in the company "STEINMUELLER" in Gummersbach (Germany).
Bernd was engineer for industrial plants for the engineering and construction within the German company "LURGI" in Frankfurt (Germany).
Currently Bernd is involved in design, developing and construction and optimising of waste heat from exhaust systems for highest efficiency using the heat transfer, process engineering, fluid mechanics and solid mechanics.
Bernd and his company www.big-biogas.de in March 2008 hold an exclusive license with International Innovations Limited (IIL) for 12 countries in Europe as follow are: Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Croatia, Turkey, Italy, France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.
Bernd built the first IIL working OTELLO 60kW successfully running in Rendsburg / Germany July 2008.
Bernd is IIL Director Technical Affairs for Energy Products from small kW OTELLO systems up to and above 10 Mega Watts can be cascaded in modular form to HIGHEST size required for connecting to the WASTE HEAT ENERGY from Power Stations (Coal, Gas, Geothermal, Atomic) also Industrial waste heat , all sources of waste heat energy can be converted to a percentage to deliver higher efficiency to the customer is benefiting from LOWER ENERGY COSTS, ADDITIONAL Clean Electrical Energy & Carbon Credits and being seen using ENVIROMENTAL RESPONSABLE product to reduce WASTEING FUEL & or ENERGY.
Bernd is excited to be involved in IIL Environmental Responsible Clean Energy products for worldwide development , sales & technical supporting our partners and customers for all to share in common success.
On 26th August 2008 Mr. Bernd Schlagregen was appointed technical director / energy division on Board of Directors at International Innovations Limited (IIL).
Bernd Schlagregen is responsible at IIL for development and engineering methods for converting energy from a heat source into a more useful form, such as electricity with high efficiency worldwide.
Bernd's company in Germany www.big-biogas.de received the 2008 Industrial Award in Germany:

| Stephen Pilditch |
| Director, DOB: 30.04.76 |
 |
Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, Newcastle University, 2008 (Expected)
Dissertation: "Computational Mathematical Modelling of a High Temperature Fuel Cell"
MMath Applied Mathematics, UEA, 1998
Thesis: "Supersonic Flow and Shocks"
Mathematics Exchange Program, University of British Columbia, Canada 1997
Stephen has gained valuable experience of the business world as well as being an accomplished academic. In the course of writing his Ph.D. thesis, he has contributed three research publications in the field of fuel cell modelling. Fuel cells are an exciting source of alternative energy and are expected to become more prevalent due to their efficient energy conversion, and their lack of environmentally damaging emissions. Sources of clean energy are of great interest to Stephen, and because of his academic background and creative thinking he is a strong asset to the team developing the waste heat engine family (AMPS, EUROAMPS & MOREAMPS).
Currently, Stephen also works for Carbon Planet Pty Ltd (www.carbonplanet.com) as an emissions auditor. Carbon Planet is an Australian company that offers tailored carbon emissions audits, emissions reduction strategies and carbon credits brokerage services. With the advent of recent government reforms and carbon emissions legislation, more and more companies are having to review their carbon footprints and in doing this, perhaps some may realise the potential of our waste heat devices.
Stephen has also worked for four years in risk management and auditing at Deloitte and Ernst & Young. This involved consulting for the major oil companies, the banking sector, and the British government and gave him valuable insight into the corporate governance of large companies and organisations. A risk and control methodology approach was employed in order to analyse corporate systems. Risk analysis is of growing importance to the well being of society and IIL waste heat devices can help to mitigate some of the risks faced by the energy generation sector today. |

Ph.D. Applied Mathematics, UEA, 2008 (Expected)
Dissertation: "Acoustic Scattering in Colloids"
M.Sc. Applied Mathematics, University of British Columbia, 2002
Thesis "A Model of the Heat Transfer and Gas Flow Associated with the Annealing Process of Silicon Wafers"
MMath Applied Mathematics (Graduated with First Class Honours), UEA, 1998
Thesis: "The Fluid Dynamics of Stone Skipping"
A Levels in Mathematics (A), Physics (A), Computer Science (A), Sir Thomas Rich's School, 1994
Mathew is joint manager with our director Stephen Pilditch. Together they are responsible for the establishment of our UK based laboratory for the optimisation of our waste heat engine family (AMPS, EUROAMPS & MOREAMPS). Working with our development partners, they aim to make super-efficient combustion engines a reality. Currently the technology is primarily targeted at large engines such as generators, but it is hoped that the devices can be scaled down for use in the automotive industry.
Matthew has gained valuable experience in mathematical modelling such as fluid modelling and heat transfer. He has experience using commercial fluid solvers such as FLUENT and COMSOL and has also built up a library of his own C++ codes. He obtained excellent training during his time at British Aerospace where he worked as a C++ Programmer on defence contracts.
Matthew has developed good contacts with the academic world and is looking into the possibility of collaboration with a university to further understand the thermodynamics, and improve the designs of the waste heat engine family.
