UK govt ministers are too busy promoting EVs to even think about mind-blowing technology such as PHE's!

Surely it just isn't possible to replace all of the coal and oil throughout the world with wind and solar power by 2030 or even 2050. It may be possible to replace coal and oil if they build more nuclear power stations, but without nuclear is it even feasible?

NH, my interpretation of the first part is that it can produce 2 tonnes of hydrogen AND 58 MW per day.

And for the second part I think they are saying that it can produce 2 tonnes of hydrogen per day, OR 3.4 MW per hour, which is 81.6 MW per day.

Anyone who has been on a ship in a force 11 gale and waves 15 metres high will probably realise how impractical it would be to try to load and operate a DMG unit on board!

That's a good point sensetalka, each unit will be built to suit the customer's requirements regarding feedstocks and outputs, so starting with the "basic syngas model" in each case, then adapted as required.

Dr.A, I think James is kinda limited in what he can say here because he can't say much more than HUI have said in their announcement. But I am rather disappointed in what HUI are saying, calling it a "basic syngas" model, which is giving the bashers an opportunity they don't deserve. The previous announcement from HUI stated that it would be a 40t per day model. I don't know why they are now calling it "basic syngas " but I suspect it's because initially it will be doing just that i.e. producing syngas with hydrogen production coming along at a late date. One step at a time.

I'm not sure how that would solve the wire problem. Surely there would still have to be a cable under the road supplying electricity to the charging plates?

Seems to me they've got ITM and PHE a bit mixed up in their report - or have I got it wrong?

Hypermarlin, the figures quoted are for one DMG unit, so for a site with 10 of them multiply by 10.

telephoneman :-)

This is the important bit:
"HUI and Linde are in discussions to enter into an agreement to develop a plant in Konin, Poland which would use Powerhouse’s technology."

I would be interested in the timeline for the completion of the ten DMG units.

Personally I don't see HUI taking over PHE because they will have enough on their plate raising funding for all of the DMG units that they want to build in Europe. What I see as a possibility, however, is PHE taking some shares in HUI when they list on the UK Stock Market. Not sure where PHE might get the funds for that, but I'm sure that something could be arranged.

I also believe it's possible that Linde could take a share in each of the SPV companies that will be set up for the DMG projects in Europe, especially those projects where Linde want to have access to the hydrogen being produced, which may not necessarily be all of the DMG projects.

Good post telephoneman.

Perhaps PHE should buy shares in HUI when they issue their IPO?
I may consider that myself.

That was meant as a joke Aldebaran. Clearly that flopped!

I'll sell my shares to Linde @ 25p!

Perhaps investors are starting to come back into renewables and hydrogen stocks.

"Can PHE DMG process coal?..."
I believe it would have to be shredded or crushed first. Best perhaps to start with tyres, after the plastic of course!

It's all very well to talk about reducing/stopping production of coal and oil, which will sound attractive to the "greens", but surely the important thing to do first is to stop/reduce demand, otherwise the cost of the coal and oil will sky-rocket. It may be populist to stop production asap, but it will not be so populist when the power stations have to shut down. Surely the emphasis ought to be on establishing alternative sources of power before getting rid of coal and oil.
