Waste2Tricity, a developer of waste-to-energy projects combining alkaline fuel cells with waste conversion technologies, was acquired by PowerHouse Energy and received a $1.6 million grant from the UK Government Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). PowerHouse Energy said the acquisition could pave the way to mass-market, low-cost hydrogen created from waste plastic. The grant funding was secured following a successful application to the UK Government’s £4.1M Energy Fund competition. The grant will fund the purchase of the thermal conversion chamber, a core element of the DMG hydrogen from plastic waste plant and will be subject to the DMG development at Protos, with the expectation of achieving planning approval and funding by the end of March 2020.
