Waste2Tricity Report in The Sunday Examiner
PowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK technology company pioneering
hydrogen production from waste plastic and used tyres and developer of the DMG®
System would like to clarify the reporting regarding ownership of intellectual
property relating to Thermal Conversion Technologies by Waste2Tricity, Ltd by
the Sunday Examiner on 30 December 2018.
While not mentioning PowerHouse specifically, the Examiner inadvertently
reported that Waste2Tricity, Ltd, the UK Project Development Partner for
PowerHouse for a number of distributed electricity and distributed hydrogen
projects within the UK and elsewhere "has patented a method of heating plastic
until it 'gasifies' into hydrogen...."
The actual patents related to the thermal conversion of waste plastic to
hydrogen and electricity have been developed, and are in the process of being
filed, by PowerHouse Energy Group, plc and all proprietary IP related to the
DMG® Thermal Conversion Process is owned by PowerHouse and will be licensed to
Waste2Tricity.
This inadvertent error in reporting has resulted in a number of inquiries
regarding the IP position of PowerHouse as it relates to its DMG® System
technology. To clarify, Waste2Tricity is a licensee of PowerHouse Technology
and IP and will pay to leverage that IP to develop projects in a number of
geographies including the UK and Japan. The Examiner article further states
that Waste2Tricity has "teamed up with Toyota to open new recycling and
refueling stations...." However, to date, no agreements regarding the deployment
of the DMG® Technology for new recycling and refueling stations have been
finalized between the parties.
As announced on 26 November 2018 Waste2Tricity has been leading discussions
with Toyota Tsusho (Toyota) for a number of months. An extensive review of the
DMG® technology by Toyota Tsusho's Chemical Business Development Division is
under way subsequent to PHE having achieved its recent "Statement of
Feasibility" by DNV-GL, a leading provider of technical assurance world-wide.
Toyota Tsusho is one of the 17 members of the Toyota Group. On its website,
Toyota Tsusho is described, "As the Toyota Group's sole general trading
company, we gather information and promote the development of new business from
a global perspective. As automotive professionals with unique capabilities and
know-how, we strive to lead the Toyota Group in the challenge to develop the
evolution of next-generation mobility to contribute to the development of both
society and the Toyota Group."

About PowerHouse Energy
PowerHouse Energy 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 EcoSynthesis gas from which
valuable products such as chemical precursors, hydrogen, electricity and other
industrial products may be derived. The PowerHouse technology is one of the
world's first proven, modular, hydrogen from waste (HfW) processes.
The PowerHouse DMG® process can generate in excess of 1 tonne of road-fuel
quality H2, and more than 28MW/h of exportable electricity per day.
The PowerHouse process produces low levels of safe residues and requires a
small operating footprint, making it suitable for deployment at enterprise and
community level.
PowerHouse is quoted on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market under the
ticker: PHE, and is incorporated in the United Kingdom.
