Integrated technology company Powerhouse Energy (PHE) Group announced it will collaborate with Avioxx to deploy its feedstock testing unit at the company’s planned pilot facility.

“We are delighted to be collaborating with Avioxx. This is a highly significant development for the Company as it further shows the potential of our technology and its adaptability to be able to service a wide number of industries. SAF has huge potential for us and is a sector that undoubtedly can benefit from using our technology to provide cleaner fuels for the aviation industry,” said Paul Emmitt, CEO, Powerhouse.

Under the collaboration, PHE will work with Avioxx on its pilot scale facility, Project Eden, which is expected to produce 200 tonnes per annum of SAF.

The companies are currently investigating the potential of PHE providing two 2.5 tonne per day gasification trains to supply the raw syngas to feed the facility.

The units are based upon the Powerhouse’s Feedstock Testing Unit at the Company’s Technical Centre in Bridgend.

These units will be sold to Avioxx, with a potential service agreement going forward between PHE and Avioxx.

“Effectively harnessing the valuable molecules from waste is key to achieving a genuine circular economy and delivering economical, sustainable fuel for the aviation sector. We hope the Powerhouse technology will be the first, and most important stage of the process to transform waste to highly valuable fuel. Integration of electrochemistry allows us to dramatically improve the production efficiency of the Jet A1 kerosine. It’s great to be working with Paul and the team,” said Chris Hancock, CEO of Avioxx.

Avioxx successfully completed pre-series A round led by travel company Trailfinders in February of last year.
