MoU signed for Protos energy waste plant

Peel Environmental subsidiary Protos has been given the go-ahead on the development, construction and operation of an energy waste plant near Chester, in partnership with PowerHouse Energy Group.
A memorandum of understanding has been signed with Yorkshire-based PowerHouse with Peel and Protos for the development at the Protos facility.
The MOU as brokered by Waste2Tricity Ltd in conjunction with the joint development agreement between PowerHouse and Waste2Tricity announced in January.
The MOU, covering a collaboration period until May 1 2018, sets out the basis on which PowerHouse and Peel Environmental will work together.
The joint project envisages the construction of PowerHouse’s first commercial enterprise, utilising the company’s G3-UHt system, at the Protos site together with a proposed plan for the delivery of five energy from waste plants.
There is no certainty that the MOU will proceed to definitive agreements between the parties.
Keith Allaun, executive chairman of PowerHouse, said: “Peel Environmental is a national leader in helping create solutions to the UK’s waste challenges.
“With multiple waste management sites located across the UK, Peel has the experience to see projects from green-field through to completion.
“Their vision for Protos; creating a robust energy-from-waste and alternative energy ecosystem in a single, large, and fully integrated facility makes them an ideal partner for a company like ours.”
Myles Kitcher, managing director of Peel Environmental, said: “Peel Environmental is extremely enthusiastic about supporting PowerHouse and adding it to the growing energy park at our Protos facility.”
