RNS Number : 6158L Powerhouse Energy Group PLC 11 November 2024
11 November 2024
Powerhouse Energy Group Plc
("PHE" or the "Company")
Japanese Patent Grant Confirmed
Powerhouse Energy Group Plc (AIM: PHE), a company pioneering integrated
technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy with a
revenue generating engineering consulting division (Engsolve), is pleased to
announce that it has been notified by the Japanese Patent Office that the
Company's Japanese Patent 7577260, "Method and Apparatus for the Treatment of
Waste Material", was granted on 8 November 2024.
The patent is in relation to protection around the control of the heating of
the waste within the Thermal Conversion Chamber ("TCC") over several zones to
allow the optimum synthesis gas (syngas) to be produced. This allows the
temperature profile in the TCC to be adjusted to give the optimal syngas
composition. The TCC is the main thermal chamber or kiln where the conversion
of the waste feedstock to a syngas takes place.
This Japanese patent is the first PHE patent to be granted outside of the
UK/Europe and is an important step for the Company. PHE continues
discussions with several potential clients, from a diverse range
of industries and sectors as well as geographies, each of which requires a
solution for their waste and are seeking to reduce reliance on virgin fossil
fuels.
PHE looks forward to progressing its other patent applications within the UK,
Europe and the rest of the world.
Paul Emmitt, Chief Executive Officer of PHE, commented:
"I am delighted that this patent has been granted. This is the third patent we
have been granted and provides significant protection for the technology that
differentiates PHE from others in the waste-to-energy sector; whilst also
being the first patent granted to us outside of the UK / Europe. I look
forward to providing further updates in due course."
