PowerHouse connects to microgrid

About this update from Powerhouse Energy Group Plc

[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nPowerHouse Energy Group, plc\n\n(“PowerHouse”, “PHE”or “the Company”)\n\nPowerHouse connects to microgrid\n\nPowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK technology company pioneering clean energy production from waste plastic and end-of-life tyres, together with the University of Chester, announces a milestone development as its demonstration energy generation plant powers the Energy Centre at University of Chester’s Thornton Science Park microgrid for the first time.\n\nThis is the first practical application of this leading-edge technology of taking waste plastic and converting it to clean electrical energy through PHE’s proprietary G3-UHt Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG©) process. Using its demonstration energy generation plant, the Thornton Science Park’s microgrid was connected and supplied with electricity this week.\n\nThe DMG© process gasifies the non-recyclable mixed and contaminated plastic waste at ultra-high temperatures into syngas (a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of hydrogen), from which electricity can be generated and clean hydrogen, which can be used to power vehicles for example, can be extracted.\n\nConnection to the microgrid is a meaningful step in the business development strategy for the DMG© technology leading towards the production of mainstream commercial waste to hydrogen generation units.\n\n“We are hugely grateful to our colleagues at the University who have supported the development of this technology for a year and have allowed us to demonstrate the power of our DMG© facility at Thornton Science Park”, commented Bruce Nicholson, Commercial Operations Manager of PowerHouse.\n\nHe added: “Our unique approach to creating clean hydrogen energy turns waste plastic of any type into a friend rather than an enemy and does so in a highly efficient, commercially viable and environmentally friendly way.”\n\nKeith Allaun, CEO of PowerHouse, said: “This is a promising step along the path to the commercial roll out of our waste to hydrogen solutions, which are also ideally suited to help reduce the vast quantities of waste plastic that is causing an environmental disaster across the world’s oceans.\n\n“We’re delighted about working together to achieve this milestone. It is momentous for the University of Chester to be the first to receive electrici...
