Change of Directorate

Powerhouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the UK technology company
commercialising hydrogen production from plastic, regrets to announce that Tim
Yeo has informed the board that he wishes to step down as Executive Chairman
of the Company for personal reasons with immediate effect. It has been agreed
that he will remain as a consultant to Powerhouse for a period of 12 months.

This will enable an orderly handover of Tim’s responsibilities, including
the recruitment process for Powerhouse’s new CEO which he and Myles Kitcher
are leading, to take place. A separate announcement will be made in due course
about the appointment of the CEO.

James Greenstreet will take over from Tim as Chairman. James has been a
non-executive director of Powerhouse since 2011 and is a founder of aircraft
lessor, Falko Regional Aircraft. He also sits on the board of regional
airline, CityJet DAC and Electric Aviation Group Ltd an early-stage company
developing hydrogen electric commercial aircraft. 

As part of the termination of his existing contract as Executive Chairman the
board has agreed in a settlement payment of £35,500. The Consultancy
agreement provides for a monthly fee of £6,000 per month. The settlement
payment and the Consultancy agreement are related party transactions under the
AIM Rules for Companies. The Directors consider, having consulted with WH
Ireland Limited, that the terms of the transactions are fair and reasonable
insofar as shareholders are concerned.

Tim Yeo said “It has been an honour to lead Powerhouse through an important
phase of its development. Under my chairmanship Powerhouse’s management and
finances have been substantially strengthened and the SPV which is building
our first commercial scale plant has been placed on a firm footing.

The arrival of our new CEO will ensure this progress continues. Now is
therefore the right time for a younger chairman to take over the reins. I am
confident that Powerhouse’s technology will soon be successfully proved and
widely deployed in the UK and abroad for the benefit of the global
environment.

I intend to remain a shareholder and wish James Greenstreet and all my
colleagues well in taking Powerhouse forward to the next stage of its
development.”

James Greenstreet said “On behalf of the whole board and our shareholders I
thank Tim warmly for his tireless work for Powerhouse over the last fourteen
months. Under his chairmanship the Company has made considerable progress and
the foundations of a truly sustainable and prosperous future have been laid.
We are very pleased he will act as a consultant to Powerhouse.”

Notes to Editors:

About Powerhouse Energy Group plc

Powerhouse has developed a proprietary process technology - DMG® - which can
utilise waste plastic, end-of-life-tyres, and other waste streams to
efficiently and economically convert them into syngas from which valuable
products such as chemical precursors, hydrogen, electricity and other
industrial products may be derived. Powerhouse’s technology is one of the
world's first proven, distributed, modular, hydrogen from waste (HfW) process.

The Powerhouse DMG® process can generate up to 2 tonnes of road-fuel quality
hydrogen and more than 58MWh of exportable electricity per day.

Powerhouse’s process produces low levels of safe residues and requires a
small operating footprint, making it suitable for deployment at enterprise and
community level. As announced on 11th February 2020 under its Supplemental
Agreement with Peel Environmental, Powerhouse will receive an annual license
fee of £500,000 in respect of each project which is commissioned.

Powerhouse is quoted on the London Stock Exchange's AIM Market under the
ticker: PHE and is incorporated in the United Kingdom.
