Guy Peters, Executive Chairman of HUI, commented:

 

"Today's listing is an important milestone in HUI's development. We are
pioneering the use of technology to turn non-recyclable waste plastics into
hydrogen - addressing the major environmental threat posed by waste plastic
and providing alternative energy sources which are not dependent upon the use
of coal, natural gas, oil and fossil fuel derived electricity."

 

"I would like to thank our new and existing shareholders for their support and
I look forward to providing updates on our progress as our business develops."

 

Aleksandra Binkowska, CEO of HUI, commented:

 

"Having started the Company 15 months ago, I feel incredibly privileged to be
where we are now. HUI's mission from the very beginning was to free our
society from plastic waste in an ecologically friendly and economical manner.
In a very limited time, we have established our presence across the European
continent and we have created strong alliances, including those with Linde and
Sweco, two of the most prominent companies in the sector."

"Europe is in desperate need of this technology and it is our duty to be
pathfinders in bringing the mission to realisation. I want to thank all of the
shareholders who have supported us and our vision from the very beginning
since our initial seed funding."

About Hydrogen Utopia International PLC

 

HUI aims to become one of the leading new European companies specialising in
turning non-recyclable mixed waste plastic into carbon-free fuels, new
materials or distributed renewable heat.

 

A HUI facility uses non-recyclable mixed waste plastic as feedstock and turns
it into syngas from which new products and energy can be produced. HUI
anticipates that its revenues will be derived from a variety of sources,
dependent upon location and configuration of the HUI facilities, including the
sale of syngas, hydrogen and other gases, electricity and heat sales, and the
payment to it of fees for a given quantity of non-recyclable mixed waste
plastic received at a HUI facility.

 

HUI will target areas where there is significant private sector interest or
potential, financial backing is accessible and or where substantial EU and/or
government funded sources of grants and loans are or may be available, such as
but not limited to the EU's "Just Transition Fund" which was set up to help
fossil fuel dependent communities transition towards climate neutrality. The
global increase in fossil fuel-based energy prices reinforces the need for
alternative, price competitive energy sources, which HUI's business model can
provide.

 

HUI's initial strategic focus is to work closely with Powerhouse Energy Group
plc to create a project pipeline of HUI facilities. HUI will concentrate its
marketing and promotion of HUI facilities on the European Continent in order
to unlock significant value for current and future HUI shareholders. HUI also
intends to explore opportunities across several industry verticals and, in due
course, other non-European jurisdictions (excluding the UK).

 

The pressing need to deal with growing amounts of waste plastic combined with
a real momentum in the use of hydrogen from renewable sources may pave the way
for a rapid deployment of and investment in HUI facilities.
