Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (LON:PHE) has ordered the key alloy material to be used in the manufacture for the DMG advanced thermal conversion technology process.
The alloy is to be installed at the first plastic-to-hydrogen facility, which will be located at Peel NRE’s strategic energy and resource hub Protos in Ellesmere Port.
The alloy material has the necessary high-temperature corrosion resistance while providing the strength and lifetime durability necessary for application in the Thermal Conversion Chamber (TCC). The material was selected after four years of research by the Powerhouse team, suppliers and material specialist consultants.
The procurement was funded from the recent loan agreement announced last month.
