Energy From Waste Innovation Award
Powerhouse Energy Group PLC has won the "Energy From Waste Innovation Achievement Of The Year" award for its proprietary DMG® system, which converts non-recyclable waste into syngas or hydrogen. The technology operates at around 1,000°C in a low-oxygen environment, capturing carbon as a solid residue, and is available in modular configurations from 2.5 to 40 tonnes per day. The company highlights that its solution is commercially viable, with costs comparable to fossil fuels and no reliance on grants. A commercial-scale pilot plant processing 2.5 tonnes per day has generated significant interest, and flagship 40-tonne-per-day projects are underway in Ballymena and Perth, demonstrating growing global demand.
