Powerhouse Energy awarded top innovation accolade at national recycling awards

 

Powerhouse Energy Group (AIM: PHE), a company focused on the conversion of
non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy alongside its revenue-generating
engineering consultancy division Engsolve, is thrilled to announce a landmark
achievement, winning the prestigious "Energy From Waste Innovation Achievement
Of The Year" award at the letsrecycle.com (http://letsrecycle.com) Awards for
Excellence 2026.

The award was presented by representatives from letsrecycle.com
(http://letsrecycle.com) , including Savannah Coombe, Editor of
letsrecycle.com (http://letsrecycle.com) , during a celebrated ceremony of its
peers, at an event that unites the very best minds from across the recycling
and waste management industries.

In its award-winning entry titled "Clean energy from non-recyclable waste:
affordably, efficiently, responsibly, sustainably", the Company set out its
compelling vision: to eliminate non-recyclable plastic waste from the
environment while delivering genuinely affordable lower-carbon energy,
simultaneously addressing two of the most urgent challenges facing society
today.

At the heart of this achievement is the Company's groundbreaking proprietary
DMG® system, which transforms non-recyclable plastics and other hard-to-abate
waste streams into clean syngas or high-purity hydrogen through an innovative
rotating kiln operating at around 1,000°C in a low-oxygen environment,
capturing excess carbon as a solid residue rather than releasing it into the
atmosphere. Available in modular configurations from 2.5 to 40 tonnes per day,
the technology delivers distributed energy solutions wherever they are needed
most, and, critically, does so at costs comparable to conventional fossil
fuel-based energy, with no reliance on grants or public subsidy. This makes
it, in the Company's view, the only truly commercially viable solution of its
kind available today.

Feedstocks range from plastics and contaminated waste to biomass, tyres and
automotive shredder residue, giving the system exceptional versatility. A
commercial-scale pilot plant processing 2.5 tonnes per day, installed at the
Company's headquarters in Bridgend, South Wales in March 2025, has already
generated significant commercial interest from across the UK and international
markets, a powerful early validation of the technology's real-world potential.
The Company's two flagship 40-tonne-per-day projects in Ballymena, Northern
Ireland and Perth, Western Australia stand as further compelling proof of the
growing global demand for this transformative solution.

The awards ceremony took place on 13 May 2026 at the iconic JW Marriott
Grosvenor House London, Park Lane, London.

 

Paul Emmitt, CEO of Powerhouse Energy Group, commented:

"Winning this award - judged by our own peers - is a truly proud moment for
everyone at Powerhouse, and a powerful endorsement of what we have built. We
believe our technology represents a genuine breakthrough in the way the world
can tackle non-recyclable waste, producing affordable lower-carbon energy in a
way that is commercially viable today, not at some point in the future. Our
projects in Ballymena and Perth are a clear signal of the extraordinary
commercial momentum we are seeing both at home and internationally, with
locally generated waste being turned into the syngas and hydrogen those
communities need.

Above all, this award belongs to our incredible team at Powerhouse, whose
unwavering commitment and exceptional hard work have made this possible."
