About this update from Powerhouse Energy Group Plc

[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nPowerHouse Energy Group plc(“PowerHouse” or the “Company”)\n\nCompletion of Pre-FEED of Commercial DMG© System\n\nPowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK waste-to-hydrogen pioneer, has reached its first major milestone in the engineering design of its nominal 25 tonne-per-day commercial Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG©) system with the completion of the pre-Front-end Engineering and Design (pre-FEED) stage.\n\nThe pre-FEED stage of the engineering programme has validated the Company’s DMG© technology and its ability to deliver commercial quantities of high-grade synthesis gas (syngas) for use as a fuel, for electrical production, and for the extraction of 99.999% road-fuel-quality hydrogen. It was completed in conjunction with consulting engineer Engsolve Ltd (“EngSolve”) and met the Company’s previously announced milestone targets in terms of commercial build and delivery. \n\nFollowing completion of the pre-FEED stage, the Company will now move into the Basic Engineering Program and Front-end Design and Engineering (FEED), which will finalise selection of vendors for provision of various components of the DMG© system and optimise the design schema for the first commercial site.\n\nThe DMG© system is compact and scalable and has the potential to recover up to 97% of the embodied energy in multiple waste sources, such as used tyres, plastics, and other industrial and municipal wastes, with negligible greenhouse gas emissions.\n\nPowerHouse, in conjunction with Peel Environmental (“Peel”) with whom the Company previously announced an MOU regarding the Protos facility, along with development partner, Waste2tricity Ltd, has identified five commercially attractive sites in the UK for initial DMG© rollout. Two of these sites have been shortlisted for immediate exploitation, with final evaluation now under way.  When initial site selection is confirmed, we intend to complete  negotiations for long-term private wire power-purchase and feedstock supply contracts.  \n\nKeith Allaun, CEO of Powerhouse Energy, commented:\n\n“The tremendous work done to date at the Thornton Science Park, Chester, with the PHE G3 demonstration unit has delivered the fundamental data necessary for us to achieve this important engineering milestone announced today. We will continue to deriv...
