Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (AIM:PHE, FRA:BT81) CEO Paul Emmitt tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the business is entering its most commercial phase yet, with growing project enquiries and tangible results from its Feedstock Testing Unit (FTU) building confidence among potential partners. Emmitt explains that since the FTU became operational around 16 months ago, it has been central to demonstrating Powerhouse's capabilities — allowing the company to show stakeholders the technology in action and move commercial discussions forward more effectively. A key milestone is the company's first revenue-generating contract outside its Engsolve engineering arm, which grew out of initial testing work into a broader partnership. Emmitt says this represents important validation of Powerhouse's technology, marking a shift away from its historical reliance on Engsolve as the primary commercial vehicle. With around ten live enquiries spanning multiple regions, demand is being driven by both decarbonisation targets and energy security concerns. Emmitt acknowledges that complex project timelines and external uncertainties can slow conversion, but says the pipeline and the progress behind it give the board real confidence in the road ahead.

Longspur Capital partner and head of research Adam Forsyth talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the firm's latest research report on Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (AIM:PHE, FRA:BT81), highlighting technology progress, commercial outlook and key project milestones following a year of operational validation. Forsyth noted that Powerhouse Energy’s advanced thermal treatment (ATT) technology, which converts waste into syngas for hydrogen and low-carbon fuels, has now demonstrated consistent performance. He said the company’s feedstock testing unit in Wales has “run for a year and it's run to the design standards… it's given the results they were expecting,” marking a significant shift in confidence around the technology. The discussion also focused on the importance of scaling into commercial projects. Forsyth pointed to Ballymena in Northern Ireland and Rockingham in Australia as critical next steps, noting that “having a real project, a real commercial project is the next key milestone.” Progress at Ballymena, including planning and site lease agreements, was described as tangible evidence of forward momentum. Cost competitiveness was another major theme. Forsyth explained that while grey hydrogen can be produced cheaply at large facilities, delivery costs significantly increase the final price. He suggested Powerhouse Energy’s distributed model could deliver hydrogen at around $6 per kilo, making it competitive on a delivered basis. Looking ahead, Forsyth outlined valuation upside driven by global deployment, while also flagging project execution and development milestones as key factors for investors to monitor over the next 12 months.

Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (AIM:PHE, FRA:BT81) CEO Paul Emmitt talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about progress on the company's first UK hydrogen project in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, following the submission of a full planning application for the proposed 40 tonnes per day waste-to-hydrogen facility. Emmitt explained that Ballymena had been a strategic focus for over 18 months, offering local feedstock availability, supportive councils, and existing infrastructure on the former Michelin site. He said the project will follow a design-build-operate model, with Powerhouse seeking project-specific finance rather than shareholder funding. "This gives Powerhouse something that we control," Emmitt said, highlighting the project’s significance in providing full operational oversight. He noted that the company has already moved from lease signing to planning submission, thanks to strong support from local partner Noage Energy and engineering firm Engsolve. The plant will convert landfill-bound waste into hydrogen — a proposition Emmitt described as particularly attractive to councils and transport partners, given the scarcity of green hydrogen across the island of Ireland. Powerhouse is also in ongoing discussions with feedstock suppliers and offtakers, including an LOI with BS Holdings for a separate project. Key milestones for 2026 include planning application responses, permit triggering, and finalisation of supply agreements. Emmitt said the company is aiming to maintain momentum after a strong start to the year. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
