PowerHouse Energy Group's (LON:PHEG) innovative, distributed waste-to-hydrogen technology satisfies the joint needs of powering fuel cell electric vehicles, finding an alternative means of waste disposal to landfill or incineration and providing a predictable form of clean energy to complement intermittent supplies such as wind and solar. The hydrogen and electricity are produced close to point-of-use, saving transportation costs and reducing transmission losses and the associated carbon footprint. The company has a pilot system near Ellesmere Port, Merseyside, and intends to commence commercial production in FY18.
Demonstration DMG system proves technology
PowerHouse has developed a distributed modular gasification (DMG) technology for converting many types of consumer and industrial waste to syngas. Independent laboratory analysis indicates that the hydrogen component of syngas is suitable for use in fuel cells. Importantly, the process takes place at a much higher temperature than incineration or conventional gasification, so harmful furans and dioxins are destroyed, removing a potential barrier to deployment.
