Powerhouse Energy (LON: PHE) shares are gaining after the hydrogen technology firm said its partner Hydrogen Utopia International (HUI), closed a fundraise on 9 September of £2.2 million.
HUI has exclusivity rights over the Powerhouse DMG technology in Poland, Greece and Hungary. Powerhouse and HUI developed a proprietary process technology named DMG, which can utilise waste plastic, end-of-life-tyres, and other waste streams to efficiently and economically convert them into syngas.
The funds raised by HUI will be used to purchase long lead items to build a basic syngas model for the first proposed operating plant in Konin, Poland, which would use DMG technology as a proof of concept. However, the proposed plant still needs permits, approvals and the raising of the necessary finance.
