Had better luck than me with my similar email to them, I got nothing much more than a polite acknowledgement.

Maybe Red Ed has realised that windmills alone are not the answer to all our woes, and is about to order a dmg for every city in UK.

Imagine that lol.

Hopefully some news soon Bingley that will stimulate some actual meaningful debate / discussion. If not I'll maybe follow your move, always read all the posts trying to make sure I don't miss anything. Reckon I could save 30mins per day lol.

Yup, get that dusty.

At the end of the day none of us know what's what until phe announce official news etc.

Everything is opinion, speculation or guesswork.

I'm with you on Engsolve, reading through their site they appear to be in a sound position. How that relates to revenue this financial year we'll need to wait and see.

That's a fair comment dusty, seems a bit of a loaded question however?

If not sorry to the poster.

None of us know the situation or phe plans going forward regarding ££££££. So any answers just an opinion.

Many an option will be on the radar, hot testing will be what I'd imagine dictates what road they travel.

Hi stock. What is the funding situation pray tell.

That's a reasonable shout Dusty.

Suppose if I were to visit the site before it actually had ran trials, my questions would be what does it do, and what's the outcome.

Prior to any full testing then that's an answer that's perhaps not going to be the fullest.

Still be good if there was some noise from local officials, I'd be backing Patx in that.

Hi Pat.

Although I've not got anything to back up my thoughts, it would be bordering on impossible for any local officials to be unaware of phe.

Would be good for both company and local government / officials pr if there was even a post on the phe site.

I emailed milliband and Co at the dept of energy security and net zero a while back asking about / highlighting phe etc etc, got a rather standard reply after a few weeks that pretty much said nothing in a typical governmental type manor.

You've got to think come the "open days" there's got to be quite some interest and publicity which we end up being aware of via phe website, LinkedIn, local media etc.

Taken from most recent RNS.

The "hot" commissioning / testing phase will now commence and run throughout January 2025. PHE will hold open days to showcase the FTU and the Company's technology in late February.

Can pretty much discount anything happening on the Thursday / Friday following new year holiday,

Then I'd think the following week (this week) getting everything checked and prepared for w/c Monday 13th and the addition of feedstock?

Be good if anyone was local that could keep an eye out for "goings on". Pointing the ring door bell at goods in.

More and more similar stories appearing on sites like LinkedIn etc every day castle.

Think phe could have many a potential customer looking to convert waste plastic locally in to the fuel to power public transport/council vehicles etc.

We await testing outcomes, site visits, then what the future holds

Hi red, reading through wastefronts web site it's pretty much the same "stuff" as what phe has also at times touched on.

Seems like there's quite a number of companies now looking at the SAF and associated marketplace. They are however at quite an advanced stage when you look at their overall plan / timeline.

With the numbers they're mentioning, it seems that any worries folk have had regarding phe upscaling appear nothing to be concerned about.

It's now hard to keep up with all the news/companies all claiming to be the solution to waste plastic and tyres. All claim to be unique or of similar descriptive terms, are they?

Are they bikers 😜

No idea if anyone from "The Whites" will attend any of the planned for site open days in Feb.

But with a still reported combined holding of over 15% (taken from phe site), I'd think they will be at the very least eagerly watching for developments.

That's where I see a great opportunity for phe Castle, and the world I might add.

The amount of scrap tyres is collosal. The added benefit is that they are far easier to separate from typical household waste which could be used as feedstock as to my knowledge they are collected by registered waste carriers and would easily shipped to anyone operating a dmg plant?

My only question on the process itself would be how it deals with the wire, I'm assuming tyres do still use wire in their construction.

No idea what that equates to in a volume, but with the amount of planes in the sky x the distance they travel that's going to be a high demand.

Going to be plenty scope for more than one supplier that's for sure, phe could easily benefit through their tech.

Yeah Slappy.

No need for phe to go down the expensive, time consuming, and cash burn road that would come if they were to "do everything".

If everything works well during validation, interest turns to customers adopting their tech etc. It sounds like easy money without the costs.

Would also allow eng/phe the flexibility to work on what is most profitable either through sub contracting, in house manufacture etc.

Phe already said as much Slappy.

They're not likely to scale up their engineering dept to be in position to churn out a kiln every week, however they have said that licence / royalties along with engineering support is more likely their pathway to growth etc.

Don't know if it can get retro fitted, but if not then any potential customer will possibly arrange to source their own kiln with phe supplying the drawings etc?

We'll see soon enough

Only bricks I want to hear about will be the ones using some of trimtabs nanotubes and if that means they're needing to expand worldwide, and in doing so Engsolve generate lots of funds being their engineering solution. 😊

That would be ideal scenario Red, be PR gold.

Not holding my breath, as long as things go to plan with hot testing I'll be delighted anyways. Nowt wrong with wanting cake with a cherry on though.

That's a reasonable outlook Red.

Yup, on consideration I'll concur that there's nothing wrong with having a wider net, whatever evolves will happen anyways

I'm also pretty confident that there's a Plan A, which will already be being worked through no doubt. There's no way they're going to have positive test / validation results then look through the yellow pages or the wanted sections for leads

See sense and logic in that red, only thing with casting a big net is that apart from the odd "keeper" you also end up with lots of rubbish that needs thrown back in the river lol.

Maybe phe already hooked a whopper or two that we've still to here about once landed.

I'd fully agree that we're not told much via pr channels, would be nice to have a daily update via LinkedIn, you tube, Facebook or whatever. I'm content that when we have any real news we'll be informed, in the meantime just need to manage the anticipation levels and lack of sleep haha.
