PowerHouse CEO Dave Ryan responds to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Hydrogen’s Inquiry into how the UK’s Hydrogen sector can help support the UK’s economic recovery.
Dear Sirs
I write in response to your Inquiry into how the UK’s hydrogen sector can help support the UK’s economic recovery.
Responsible, Economic, Clean Energy Recovery
The journey to economic recovery with the adoption of hydrogen as a viable energy vector will not be a single leap of faith with high investment and a simple major change … but rather will be characterised by a series of smaller incremental yet significant steps to reach broad adoption. Reclaimed hydrogen from previously untreatable waste plastic through the implementation of Powerhouse Energy Group’s transformative DMG technology is one such step.
Through the efficient recovery of the hydrogen within the plastic for use as clean transport fuel, power generation and as a chemical precursor, this technology tackles head on the major global environmental issue of ever-growing mountains of unrecyclable waste plastic heading into landfill, polluting our land and our oceans.
In addition to the above, reclaimed hydrogen produced by the DMG technology differs from hydrogen produced by other processes as it:
• Is self-sustaining without any external electrical power input required vs Green Hydrogen from electrolysis.
• Provides a small scale local distributed solution vs Blue Hydrogen from SMR with CCS.
• Does not require an expensive pipeline distribution network.
• Produces lower emissions with lower investment vs Grey Hydrogen from SMR.
Waste or Resource ?
End of Life Plastic in the UK is an underutilised resource that is currently treated as a costly and challenging waste management issue as opposed to a revenue generating potential source of clean energy. The present-day fate of waste plastic does not maximise its energy recovery:
Recycling – <30% capability in UK and ~10% globally, with many mixed and contaminated plastics being economically challenging to recycle mechanically or chemically.
Incineration – low efficiency, wasteful and inefficient energy conversion, with high GHG emissions.
Landfill – unsustainable needing hundreds of years to degrade, while producing leachate and GHG emissions.
Export – shifting the problem, wasting the resource and a declining option as more countries refuse to accept ths waste.
Global plastic production is forecast to rise, especially in the post COVID world, and it is from these wasted and polluting plastics that DMG technology efficiently reclaims their inherent and currently discarded hydrogen.
