PowerHouse Energy Group plc (LON:PHE) has finished the first stage of the design of a scalable commercial UK waste-to-hydrogen system.
The pre-Front end Engineering and Design (FEED) incorporates Powerhouse’s DMG technology to convert syngas produced from industrial waste into road-fuel-quality hydrogen for use in gas-powered vehicles.

“The EngSolve engineering team has done an excellent job incorporating the test results and the accumulated data into this cutting-edge process design," said Keith Allaun, PowerHouse Energy’s chief executive.
“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.”

Next stage is the Basic Engineering Program and Front-end Design and Engineering (FEED), which will finalise component suppliers and optimise the layout outline for the first commercial site.
Five sites in the UK have been identified for the initial DMG rollout, with final evaluation underway on two.
