Peel Environmental and Waste2Tricity are partnering to develop the UK's first plastics-to-hydrogen plant in Cheshire. Advanced thermal treatment technology, known as Powerhouse Energy, has been developed by Distributed Modular Gasification to produce hydrogen from unrecyclable plastics. The £7m ($9m) facility will convert 25 mt of plastic a day into hydrogen, which will be used to power local buses, heavy goods vehicles and future hydrogen cars. Additionally, the factory will produce electricity, which may be distributed near the 54-acre Protos plant through a private network.
