cash2020,

”Clearly the technology does work, it’s there for all to see.“

If you think this then I’m afraid that you’ve been hoodwinked!

What PHE demonstrated on the day was some sacks of high grade plastic pellets going into a machine.

What they didn’t demonstrate is:

1. “Waste” going into a machine, or

2. “Waste” being converted into “energy”!

They didn’t even show the production of any syngas!

In terms of proving that they can convert waste to energy the demonstration was a complete and utter failure and a total sham. The whole thing stank because only a week later, after getting the crowds excited, PHE placed at a massive discount to raise “keep the lights on money”.

I imagine that most people who attended the demonstration feel as though they’ve been taken for fools.

vatnabrekk,

"They did that, but you guys won't have it to be."

No they didn't! As already explained, you have been fooled:




Smokey 1o3,

"Why don't you identify yourself as a shareholder and ask to go down to see for yourself.
What feed do you want to see used. Shredded tyres maybe which was used on their open day and that alone is a massive opportunity for someone here in the UK; as there is a very large tonnage of non-usable tyres exported to India from this Country being combusted there and producung noxious fumes and other polutants. Just check oit New Delhi. We should be ashamed of oitselves alllowing this to take place and then say we only have 1% of Global omisssions!"

At the most recent capital markets day PHE used bags of poly plastic pellets. This is a refined product that they paid money to buy in. They did so because it has a known chemical composition and produces a predictable chemical reaction.

Let me remind you, once again, what PHE claim on their website:


"Welcome to Powerhouse Energy Group Plc. Our proprietary technology converts the widest range of waste products into syngas, which then can be used in various ways including electricity, heat, biofuels, synthetic gases and low carbon hydrogen. We prevent pollution and minimise climate change, so have a strong ESG offering."

From:

Hands up who has seen the DMG operate on *waste*?

Hands up who syngas "used in various ways including electricity, heat, biofuels, synthetic gases and low carbon hydrogen"?

No one, because that's not what happened on the Capital Markets Day!

Because the whole purpose of the CMD was simply to get shareholders excited to create some buying interest in the market ahead of the placing that happened ten days later!

RNS out:

Paul Emmitt, Chief Executive Officer of PHE, commented:

"The continued advances that we have achieved on our patents further outlines the excellent progress that PHE is making, whilst also providing significant protection for our technology; differentiating PHE from others in the waste-to-energy sector. We look forward to providing further updates on this area in due course."

vatnabrekk,

What complete and utter twaddle.

Peel walked from PHE.

"What is the difference between plastic pellets and shredded "genuine" non-recyclable waste plastic?"

It's pretty blindingly obvious.

Powerhouse bought bags of poly plastic pellets in order to conduct the demonstration. In a similar manner they bought in tyre crumb for the G3-UHt System test.

Waste is waste, it's an elephant test. And if PHE want to be able to sell their system to a local council, for example, then it needs to be able to run on waste collected from the door.

There is zero bandwidth in the industry, for a machine where the plastic being input has to be carefully sorted to make sure that it's clean, any paper packaging has been removed and is then shredded.

In the words of the former PHE engineer - the system can never be made to work with genuine "waste".

vatnabrekk,

"Graham, I don't think it's fair to say they HAD to use recyclable plastic, that just doesn't make any sense. As I stated in my post above it make no difference either technically or chemically whether it's recyclable or non-recyclable for these purposes. It's the same chemical compound. Using plastic or rubber pellets was more convenient for the demo because it was materials that were readily available in small quantities. If they had used any other form of waste rubber or plastic they would have had to shred it before processing it, and that simply would not have been practical for the quantity that was required for a demo."

This is wrong, it's almost as if you've conveniently forgotten what happened 7.5 years ago.

Post the demonstration of the “G3-UHt System” (Oct 2017), Keith Allaun and David Ryan went on Vox markets and made various wild claims about that system (they were in discussions to sell lots, etc). A former PHE engineer then popped up and explained very clearly why the demonstration was a sham and that the system could never be made to work with genuine "waste".

The “G3-UHt System” was only ever run on tyre crumb because then the conditions could be very tightly controlled. As soon as you introduced genuine waste into the system then the conditions couldn't be controlled, excess oxygen was released and the gasification process became combustion.

The “G3-UHt System” was a failure, not a single sale was completed despite the wild claims by the then directors; it was quietly dismantled amid rumours that the gasification chamber had over-heated and distorted.

And soon after that Peel Environmental walked and severed all involvement with PHE.

Exactly what happened with the “G3-UHt System” is now being repeated right in front of your eyes and you're ignoring the words of the former PHE engineer - the system can never be made to work with genuine "waste".

£1.25m Placing, Options Grant, Retail Offer & TVR


Vatnabrekk,

Are you regretting your Confirmation bias now?

1. You dissed the ShareProphets article but if you’d read it, then you would have seen that it says in the penultimate paragraph:

”Powerhouse Energy had just £2.7 million of cash at the interim stage on 30 June last year and it burnt about £2.5 million of cash in the 2023 calendar year (including capex). At best I estimate that it has enough cash to get to the end of June 2025. However, it has just built a brand new shiny machine in Bridgend, South Wales, which will have added to the capex and cash burn. I suspect that Powerhouse may already be running on fumes and will want to pass the begging bowl around very soon!”

If you'd read it then you too would have been pre-warned about the imminent bail-out placing, just like the ShareProphets' readership.

2. You circulated the LongSpur “article” that PHE paid for (and edited) and expressed deep love for its amazing words. But where did the LongSpur article explain that PHE was “running on fumes” and would need a placing soon? Was the article deliberately circulated just in advance of the placing to encourage retail interest and thus make it easier for the MMs to forward sell the placing?

What is the point in reading such PR 💩 if it doesn’t tell you the really important stuff?

Do you get it yet Vatnabrekk? You lapped up the LongSpur article but dismissed the ShareProphets one completely out of hand. You made the wrong decision about what to read!

vatnabrekk,

"A little bit of info for those who choose to believe the Shareprophets negative rubbish:"

I would make two points:

1. You haven't read the ShareProphets' article and so are not in a position to assert whether it is "rubbish" or "world class amazing research".

2. Powerhouse Energy not only paid LongSpur to write that "article" but they also re-wrote the bits that they didn't like! It would therefore be remarkable if it doesn't say anything other than "PHE is the best company in the world!"

Your post reveals a lot about you that you are (a) willing to dismiss articles that you haven't even read, and (b) lap up as gospel sycophantic articles. You should see a doctor quick, as you have a medical condition known as "Confirmation bias":

Graham, the film and the reports from attendees are in the Telegram's PHE private bulletin board, of which I am a member, so I can't copy anything from there, but if you want to see it then you will need to ask to join.

PHE have never claimed that the DMG can process mixed waste, it has always been made clear that it can process many different kinds of waste but only one kind at a time. The reason for that is that the conditions eg temperature qty of steam etc. vary for different materials in order to maximise the quality of the syngas. That has been known for many years since they were operating the prototype in Thornton Park, which is where all of the processing data originated.

Your analogy of running a car on dirty petrol or clean petrol is not valid in this case. The kind of contaminates that PHE claims the DMG can cope with is any type of carbohydrates, so that if plastic wrappers are contaminated by food particles, that doesn't matter because the contaminates will be gasified into syngas along with the plastic. Those contaminates will not affect the operation of the DMG, but dirty petrol will affect the running of a car.

But they wouldn't mix shredded tyres with plastic because the operating settings for these two materials would be different.

Also they have never claimed that they could process mixed household waste, partly because of the explanation I have given above, and partly because mixed household waste will undoubtedly contain some materials that simply cannot be gasified such as metals.

The actual materials that will be tested for potential customers will depend upon whatever the customer wants, whatever it is that the customer intends to process through their DMG. That could be a variety of plastics, shredded tyres, old clothing etc. It will be materials that would otherwise go to landfill or for incineration, built into a waste mountain or be thrown into a river, or into the ocean. There is plenty of that in the Far East and elsewhere in the world. But it will not be any waste materials that can be recycled or reused.

Smokey 1o3,

"As I understand it on the shareholders day it was made clear that poly plastic pellets were being used as they are still optimising the unit. Using a “native” polymer meant they could be 100% sure of the polymer composition going in and therefore use it to optimise the Syngas composition out."

If that's what the company told you then they are lying. There has always been a problem with making sure that no oxygen gets into the unit and the way that PHE have dealt with that is by carefully controlling the feedstock that they put in.

I would remind you of my prediction in post 22,658



"I have little doubt that PHE will be able to make it appear that something is working in front of shareholders, after all they have done that before. Back in 2017 PHE demonstrated the "G3-UHt" prototype to shareholders to get them rabidly salivating, so much so that multiple placings followed. However, the "G3-UHt" prototype only ever worked on pure (non-waste) feedstock and never functioned commercially.

In total PHE have been building waste to gas units since 2002 (page 14 of AIM Admission document). 22 years of complete and utter ineptitude later, multiple false RNSs, numerous wild claims of sales that never actually materialised and not a single commercial functioning unit has ever been produced.

It seems reckless to assume that PHE will be able to do anything more than they've done before - demonstrate a unit to the baying crowd in order to raise some funds and then run off with the money for seven years before coming back to fleece the crowd again ... just like last time!"

I think Protos is dead in the water.

It was certainly a fantastic initiative of Peel's initially to have a "Plastic Park" where all forms of plastic could be sorted into recyclable and non-recyclable, where the recyclable plastic could be recycled, and the non-recyclable converted into syngas and/or electricity and/or hydrogen. But so far it hasn't worked. The required infrastructure hasn't been built and very few of the sites have been taken up.

Peel were going to build a hydrogen refuelling station for the trucks and other vehicles that would be using the site. But that hasn't happened. Then there was going to be a carbon capture system to be used by all of the businesses on the site, with a network pumping the CO2 into dead oil wells in Liverpool Bay. That hasn't happened so far, although it may still be on the cards sometime.

Initially Peel were going to build a DMG on Plot 10B in the Protos Park and operate it, and pay a technology fee of £500k per annum to PHE. They were going to build a DMG on 11 of their Parks!! They actually got planning permission for the DMG at Protos, and also permission for one on Clydeside in Scotland. But the local population at Clydeside organised a protest because they feared the DMG would pollute the atmosphere, because they believed it was really an incinerator. The protestors were supported by the Sottish Greens and Friends of the Earth as well as the SNP Scottish government, so in the end Peel gave up and withdrew the planning application.

At Protos, Peel decided they didn't want to put up their own money to build a DMG so they sought funding. That failed. Then a 50/50 JV was established between Peel and PHE, and they both went out looking for funding. That also failed. Then PHE acquired 100% of the JV company at Protos so that they could be in control of their own destiny, with an option to lease Plot 10B from Peel to install a DMG. But they were unable to get a feedstock contract from any waste management company, and they were unable to get an off-take agreement for the hydrogen, so they were unable to raise the required funding.

And that's where PHE's Protos project stands today. They still own 100% of the JV company, they still have planning permission unless it has expired, and they still have an option to lease Plot 14B from Peel. There is no infrastructure on Plot 14B, and no plant & machinery associated with the project. But it is a registered company called "Protos Plastics to Hydrogen No.1 Limited".

There needs to be more waste management companies taking up Plots in the Protos Plastic Park before PHE can contemplate starting any form of construction. At the moment the whole Park seems to be in limbo and I'm not convinced that is going to change any time soon. That's why I keep saying forget Protos, there are several better opportunities for PHE elsewhere that are more likely to become the FOAK for PHE.

Here's a link to the Protos Park web site.
