Toyota is to consider worldwide deployment of PowerHouse
Energy’s DMG® System via Waste2Tricity Ltd
As PHE’s Project Development Partner Waste2Tricity Ltd (W2T) is currently
negotiating a pipeline of projects in the UK for the commercial deployment of the
unrecyclable plastic to hydrogen Distributed Modular Gasification DMG®
technology. At the same time W2T has had a representative permanently based in
Tokyo for nearly two years. This overseas investment was made with the intention
of establishing contacts within the fast developing Japanese hydrogen economy
and waste disposal industry. The Japanese government has identified hydrogen as
an important component in its energy strategy as they seek both low carbon and
non-nuclear sources of clean energy. Distributed Modular Gasification allows highly
profitable local production of hydrogen without the distribution penalties
associated with centralised production and this concept has been met with keen
interest by major players in the Japanese market. As a result, commercial
discussions are being taken to the next level.
Howard White, W2T’s Executive Deputy Chairman says, “We have been delighted
by the level of interest shown in the PowerHouse DMG® concept in the region and I
will shortly be going to Japan for further discussions with
Toyota Tsusho Corporation about how a partnership could be established to exploit
this mould breaking technology, initially within Japan, with PHE supplying
technical expertise and W2T leading the commercial deployment.”
Takashi Torigoe, General Manager Chemical Business Development Department
Toyota Tsusho Corporation, comments, “We have been reviewing Power House
Energy's DMG technology over the last few months and take great interest in it. We
are excited and looking forward to a potential partnership in Japan and possibly
worldwide.”
Japan represents an ideal first non UK deployment opportunity with an established
and growing demand for hydrogen as vehicle fuel and high gate fees for the
unrecyclable plastic feedstock due to Japan’s constrained waste disposal options.
