 Update on Konin facility, Poland

Powerhouse Energy Group Plc (AIM: PHE), a company pioneering integrated technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy, is pleased to announce progress with its joint venture partner for a plastics to hydrogen facility in Konin, Poland. Hydrogen Utopia International Plc (LON: HUI), has through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hydropolis United sp z.o.o., signed a Letter of Intent with the City of Walbrzych, to commence preparation of the necessary technical, environmental and legal documentation to facilitate the planning and permitting of an HUI facility in the municipality of Walbrzych for the processing of mixed waste plastic.

PHE is assisting HUI in its discussions with MZUK sp. Z.o.o., the municipal waste service provider to the City of Walbrzych, to define and specify the facility to be developed.

Keith Riley, Acting Chief Executive Officer of PHE, commented:

"Defining and specifying the system to be developed to suit the intended feedstock is an important initial step in the project development. PHE will be helping HUI to determine the process engineering required, following which the design of the facility can be established.

"We look forward to updating as the project progresses."
