Powerhouse adds: "Powerhouse will not be required to contribute any capital for these projects. Instead, the collaboration will be based on a license fee and royalties model. This arrangement establishes a long-term relationship between Powerhouse and National H2, while also potentially providing a long-term income stream for the group."
