About Powerhouse Energy Group plc 
 
Powerhouse has developed a proprietary process technology - DMG® - which can 
utilise waste plastic, end-of-life-tyres, and other waste streams to 
efficiently and economically convert them into syngas from which valuable 
products such as chemical precursors, hydrogen, electricity and other 
industrial products may be derived. Powerhouse's technology is one of the 
world's first proven, distributed, modular, hydrogen from waste (HfW) process. 
 
The Powerhouse DMG® process can generate up to 2 tonnes of road-fuel quality 
hydrogen and more than 58MWh of exportable electricity per day. 
 
Powerhouse's process produces low levels of safe residues and requires a small 
operating footprint, making it suitable for deployment at enterprise and 
community level. As announced on 11th February 2020 under its Supplemental 
Agreement with Peel Environmental, Powerhouse will receive an annual license 
fee of £500,000 in respect of each project which is commissioned. 
 
Powerhouse is quoted on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market under the 
ticker: PHE and is incorporated in the United Kingdom.
