Hydrogen Utopia International PLC
(the "Company" or "HUI")
Refocus on Core Plastic-to-Hydrogen and GCC Growth
Ohrid Organics Update
Hydrogen Utopia International PLC ("HUI" or the "Company"), a company pioneering technology to convert non-recyclable waste plastics into hydrogen and other clean energy, is delighted to advise shareholders that it is receiving significant interest in the TRL9 InEnTec plasma gasification technology, for which HUI holds a binding exclusive right to negotiate licence contracts across the MENA ( Middle East and Africa) region, with a primary focus on the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries.
The Company is in substantive engagement with multiple government entities and leading corporations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and has also received a formal Request for Investment Proposition from a Qatari company for a plasma destruction system. These discussions include potential joint ventures and special purpose vehicles (SPVs) with co-investment opportunities, positioning HUI to become a key player in the expanding hydrogen and waste-to-energy markets across the GCC, with clear potential to access wider regional and international markets.
The expansion into the GCC targets not only the hydrogen economy but also opens doors to other regional and international markets, driven by the massive growth of the steel and cement industries, which outgrow the European market, and strong growth across the GCC, reflecting increased industrial activity and investment in clean technologies. Additionally, HUI, through InEnTec's TRL9 Technology, is evaluating the integration of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) applications and hydrogen for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) into its portfolio, further enhancing its position in industrial decarbonisation and energy solutions.
Following a period of strategic diversification, brought about by a severe downturn in the European hydrogen market and the underperformance of the EU-led initiative, the Company is returning to its roots, refocusing on its core mission of converting plastic waste into hydrogen in a new, high-potential territory, in anticipation and hope that Europe will catch up on its strong hydrogen ambitions. This renewed direction comes at a time when the hydrogen economy is regaining global momentum, where governments are prioritising clean technologies and circula
