Green light for Ellesmere Port plant that converts waste plastic to power vehicles

It’s the green light for a £7m waste plastic to hydrogen facility near Ellesmere Port to power buses, lorries and eventually cars.

Peel Environmental has signed a deal with Waste2Tricity and PowerHouse Energy to develop 11 such plants across the UK in a £130m investment.

Now members of Cheshire West and Chester Council planning committee have unanimously backed an application for the first such facility at the company’s 54-acre Protos site near Ellesmere Port.

Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (LON:PHE) has developed the innovative PHE DMG® System, their proprietary thermal conversion technology. DMG® technology provides a mechanism to dispose of a wide range of waste streams by using them as feedstock that can be converted to EcoSynthesis Gas.
