Hydropolis United, the Polish wholly owned subsidiary of UK technology company Hydrogen Utopia International (HUI, London; www.hydrogenutopia.eu) has signed a letter of intent to develop a waste plastics-to-hydrogen plant with Polish waste management group Regionalny Zaklad Zagospodarowania Odpadow (RZZO, Ostrow Wielkopolski; www.rzzo.com.pl).
Under the agreement, and subject to final contract, RZZO will provide land in Ostrow Wielkopolski, Poland, as well as plastics feedstock for the new plant, which is to have capacity to process up to 40 t of waste per day and a daily output of 2 to 3 t of hydrogen, as well as electricity and heat.
The facility is to be based on Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG) thermal recycling technology licensed from Powerhouse Energy Group (PHE, Bingley, UK; www.powerhouseenergy.co.uk). Plants using the process can be bolted on to existing waste remediation facilities (see also Plasteurope.com of 04.09.2019).
HUI has exclusive rights to market the DMG technology in Poland, Hungary and Greece, and non-exclusive rights for the rest of the world.
RZZO said it will assist in procuring funds for the plant from the EU, national, local and private sources, as well as finding offtake partners for the hydrogen and energy produced by the plant. The heat energy will likely be fed into a district system.
To rollout a series of plants, HUI has formed alliances with industrial gases group Linde (London; www.linde.com), architecture and engineering consultancy Sweco (Stockholm; www.swecogroup.com), and Dutch heat treatment system provider Electron Thermal Processing (Nijkerk, www.glaesum.nl/en/electron).
HUI also has another waste plastics to hydrogen project planned in Poland: Sweco has already submitted an engineering impact assessment for the plant in Konin, and HUI said the scheme is likely to be approved within a year.
