No they are not you doubt everything you are the most negative person I have ever come across you love to be a doom sayer you must be such an inspiring mate down the pub? Bet nobody sits near you or they become suicidal !!!!

You don't know a thing about how far this company can grow, you know nothing about the deals they are discussing all you know and so do we all is that the past has been a disaster but when you are running on a shoestring budget to protect costs things take longer but that does not mean they won't get done ?

[warwick69] 20/9/2016 08:47

[warwick69] 16/9/2016 18:43

Well worth revisiting this old article it is more relevant now the new remodelled plant is working Wouldn’t it be good to have a plant capable of recycling everything in one go? Well, this is exactly what PowerHouse Energy’s technology promises.
No flies on Powerhouse Energy's re-cycling technology
On the fridge door, clamped firmly with a magnet, is what looks like a pull out wall chart you use to plot the progress of England during their latest World Cup campaign.

If only it were that interesting, for the bi-fold A4 laminate plots when we should and when we shouldn’t place one of four separate bins out for collection over a monthly cycle.

In the brown wheelie bin goes garden waste and paper; the green container takes the traditional non-recyclable rubbish; the grey receptacle plastics, and the silver bucket-sized ‘pod’ the leftovers from the week’s meals.

The bins are not there for my convenience. Instead the myriad different plastic boxes ensure the household debris from 250,000 homes in the area is sorted for efficient recycling.

But even then paper gets mixed with plastics, which in turn end up in the composting bin, to the point where the local facilities struggle to cope with the mix.

Moreover, they spend valuable time and money picking through the mess.

To say this is inefficient is an understatement, but it also undermines the green ambitions of the process.

With this in mind, wouldn’t it be good to have a plant capable of recycling everything in one go?

Well, this is exactly what PowerHouse Energy’s (LON:PHE) technology promises.

Not just that, its EU-certified Pyromex system is capable of producing a synthetic gas that can be fed straight into the mains gas system, or used to create electricity.

So, for every one unit of power used in the process five are created.

It can processes recyclable and non-recyclable rubbish and organics using the same basic technology. And it is able to do so at a fraction of the cost of traditional waste disposal.

So, a firm might spend €60 a tonne using PowerHouse’s system, compared with €160-200 to process rubbish using traditional incinerators.

PowerHouse, which is taking the technology from extensive bench-test phase to commercial scale operation, not only gets paid to receive the deliveries, it also makes money from processing it into power or fuel.

The regulations are such that in Germany, the base for its first commercial-scale operation, so long as output from the plant is less than three megawatts there is an automatic right to feed into the local grid.

At the heart of the system is an ultra-high temperature gasification (UHTG) reactor, which works by injecting nitrogen into the chamber to purge all oxygen.

It is a clean process that meets the stringent requirements of the Bavarian clean-air regulations, while the by-product is a black, inert, sand-like substance.

“We don't burn anything, we release the energy locked-up in organic waste. We don't combust - we gasify. So there is no fire, there is no smokestack,” said chairman Keith Allaun.

“We create clean syngas, which allows us to generate green energy.”

The footprint is incredibly small and the plants themselves require only two people to operate them.

The feed system and hoppers are off-the-shelf assemblies as are the scrubbers used to treat the gas at the other end.

This makes the modular system cheap to create and easy to maintain.

Currently, the group has letters of intent for its five-tonne-per day units, the prototype for which has been thoroughly tested at the company’s facility in Switzerland.

However, the breakthrough for the company, both in terms of the commercial appeal of the disruptive technology and the financial viability of PowerHouse, will become apparent in the next 120 days.

At Etting, in Munich, it is currently operating a 25 tonne per day plant and has done so since 2010. The plan is to double capacity there, giving an operation that will generate underlying earnings (EBITDA) of around €2mln.

Not only will this make PowerHouse self-sufficient, it will, after a period of operation, persuade potential buyers and financiers of the technology that it is fit for purpose.

“Once we have the commercial plant going everything changes. It may take six months before we have proven ourselves. But it changes the entire equation,” said Allaun.

“It then affords us to be in a position to look at project finance for the rest of the build-outs in various areas.”

The corporate strategy is three-pronged. There is the opportunity to build and sell the units and become a capital goods firm.

However, it will also build, own and operate – and, according to Allaun, there are 100 opportunities to do just this in the state of Bavaria alone.

And finally, PowerHouse wants to team up with waste management companies to provide them with a vertically integrated solution that would help me and millions of others with their weekly bin dilemma.

“The waste management companies are interested in this. They have been to our facility and said ‘when this is working commercially call us again’,” said Allaun.

The company’s £4mln market capitalisation suggests PowerHouse is being punished for the mis-steps of the previous regime.

Yet Allaun and his team have created a business that’s on the cusp of profitability – so the opportunity is there for the brave investor.

PowerHouse has a supportive cornerstone investor in Peter Bond.

His companies Linc Energy and Hillgrove own 8.1% and 5.7% respectively and the entrepreneur is funding the company directly until break-even.

The debt, which converts into equity at 1p, will give him 35-40% of Powerhouse.

“He recognises the value of the technology – and so will the rest of the market when we are generating profits,” said Allaun.

There have not been any placings for a long while and nothing has been converted the MM will be building naked shorts hoping to cover
Good news will give them a big headache

And IMHO good news is not far away

Just look at the chart even you can't argue that we have a seriously correcting chart predicting quite a rally over the next few months

Simples

[warwick69] 16/9/2016 16:02

Another day of more buy than sells yet it has been marked down how can the MM do this day in day out ??

[warwick69] 16/9/2016 15:58

Bit of late buying that's good you never know we might get some good news early next week

[warwick69] 16/9/2016 15:31

Well it looks like the MM have been having a field day today they must live this share the spread they can get away with ??

[warwick69] 16/9/2016 09:47

We are back in the doldrums waiting news so in that scenario MM drop the price as they know it will always shake a few shares for them ??

[warwick69] 15/9/2016 23:32

This share is still not on any serious institutional investors radar they can not even consider buying as its to small fry! But in years to come they will all want a slice of the pie but their will not be much pie to buy as it will all be safely tucked away by me and a few smart investors who could read the runes ?Happy days are not far away?

[warwick69] 14/9/2016 20:12

Wow the doubters must be getting very worried that they can't keep the share down long enough for them to either buy enough shares despite there constant comments I can't wait for the big news and big spike which is not far off IMHO

[warwick69] 14/9/2016 18:48

This is consolidating nicely now not many sellers now another day with more buyers than sellers the trades on Isdx were buys so another 1 million taken out of free float this will get very very tight soon and will spikeIMHO

[warwick69] 14/9/2016 16:17

Jaknife we were told at the AGM that there will not be a placing despite the fact MM probably would like one? We will need cash at some point but the share price will be way higher after order news is released and then any placing will be at a premium to share price no more discounted placings I'm afraid

This is ready for a steady climb higher sorry to disappoint you

[warwick69] 14/9/2016 14:36

Yes the charts shout a screaming buy and move up to 1.40 first stop

[dice1950] 14/9/2016 14:16

[someuwin] 14/9/2016 14:11

Chart suggests a big move up could be on the cards.

[warwick69] 14/9/2016 11:02

Doubters getting desperate to knock it down

[apfindley] 14/9/2016 10:23

Hillgrove Investments Pty Ltd"As at 31 December 2014, the amount owing to Hillgrove under the convertible loan note was £2,181,004. As at 31 December 2015, the amount owing under the convertible loan note is £2,938,636."That was last year.Look at that huge increase in the loan ammount. One year on, and you can add about a further million to that figure.Furthermore, the conversion price has been moved from 1p right down to 0.5p.Looks financially screwed to me..
