PowerHouse Energy Group plc
(“PowerHouse” or the “Company”)
Memorandum of Understanding
PowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK Waste-to-Energy company seeking to develop hydrogen production from waste plastic and used tyres, is pleased to announce a partnership Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Wrightbus Ltd (“Wrightbus”), a leading bus manufacturer whose products include innovative hydrogen powered buses.
This MOU was negotiated in collaboration with Waste2tricity Ltd as part of its commercial partnership with PowerHouse as its Project Development Consultant. The MOU is non binding and although there can be no certainty a binding agreement will be entered into, the Board of PowerHouse expects this to lead to a definitive agreement under which Wrightbus will supply hydrogen fuel powered buses and PowerHouse will provide access to its Distributed Modular Gasification (“DMG®”) system for the low cost and environmentally responsible production of hydrogen.
It is expected that this first-of-its-kind turnkey solution will be marketed to local authorities and public transport providers in the UK and internationally with a particular focus on city centres, where the lack of emissions generated by hydrogen fuel cell buses bring important environmental and quality-of-life benefits. PowerHouse’s compact DMG® system, has the capacity to process 25 tonnes of plastic per day, and would have the potential to provide hydrogen to fuel buses and also provide electricity for sale to either the national grid or private clients.
The DMG® system has the potential to enable hydrogen to be produced locally from small-scale plastic processing plants and sold at a cost competitive with petrol and diesel. To date the production and distribution costs of hydrogen produced from Natural Gas has been prohibitive and produced considerable CO2 emissions. PowerHouse believes it can change the economics of that situation with carbon neutral hydrogen.
