Completion of Pre-FEED of Commercial DMG© System
PowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK waste-to-hydrogen pioneer, has
reached its first major milestone in the engineering design of its nominal 25
tonne-per-day commercial Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG©) system with
the completion of the pre-Front-end Engineering and Design (pre-FEED) stage.
The pre-FEED stage of the engineering programme has validated the Company's DMG
© technology and its ability to deliver commercial quantities of high-grade
synthesis gas (syngas) for use as a fuel, for electrical production, and for
the extraction of 99.999% road-fuel-quality hydrogen. It was completed in
conjunction with consulting engineer Engsolve Ltd ("EngSolve") and met the
Company's previously announced milestone targets in terms of commercial build
and delivery.
Following completion of the pre-FEED stage, the Company will now move into the
Basic Engineering Program and Front-end Design and Engineering (FEED), which
will finalise selection of vendors for provision of various components of the
DMG© system and optimise the design schema for the first commercial site.
The DMG© system is compact and scalable and has the potential to recover up to
97% of the embodied energy in multiple waste sources, such as used tyres,
plastics, and other industrial and municipal wastes, with negligible greenhouse
gas emissions.
PowerHouse, in conjunction with Peel Environmental ("Peel") with whom the
Company previously announced an MOU regarding the Protos facility, along with
development partner, Waste2tricity Ltd, has identified five commercially
attractive sites in the UK for initial DMG© rollout. Two of these sites have
been shortlisted for immediate exploitation, with final evaluation now under
way. When initial site selection is confirmed, we intend to complete
negotiations for long-term private wire power-purchase and feedstock supply
contracts.
Keith Allaun, CEO of Powerhouse Energy, commented:
"The tremendous work done to date at the Thornton Science Park, Chester, with
the PHE G3 demonstration unit has delivered the fundamental data necessary for
us to achieve this important engineering milestone announced today. We will
continue to derive additional data from running the G3 unit over the coming
months to expand our knowledge-base and ensure we continue to maximise our
results.
"The EngSolve engineering team has done an excellent job incorporating the test
results and the accumulated data into this cutting-edge process design. The
completed pre-FEED work will inform every subsequent step in our commercial
design and will ensure that we're able to maintain the pace of delivery of the
DMG© system."

About PowerHouse Energy
PowerHouse Energy Group plc is the developer of the G3-UHt Ultra High
Temperature Gasification unit, and the creator of DMG©, the Distributed
Modular, Gasification System which allows for the distributed eradication of
waste, the generation of distributed electricity, and the production of
distributed hydrogen with the world's first hydrogen from waste process (HfW).
The Company is focused on technologies to enable projects for energy recovery
from municipal and industrial waste streams that would otherwise be directed to
landfills and incinerators; or from renewable and alternative fuels such as
biomass, tyres, and plastics to create synthesis gas (syngas) for power
generation, or high-quality hydrogen as a fuel for transport. DMG© allows for
easy, economical, deployment and scaling of an environmentally sound solution
to the growing challenges of waste eradication, landfill diversion, electrical
demand, and distributed hydrogen production.
PowerHouse is quoted on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market. The Company is
incorporated in the United Kingdom.
