Plans lodged for pioneering waste-to-hydrogen facility in Ballymena capable of processing 40 tonnes of waste per day
A full planning application has been submitted by Powerhouse Energy Group for a 40-tonnes-per-day facility, with environmental permitting next on the agenda
Powerhouse Energy Group has submitted a full planning application for its waste-to-hydrogen facility in Ballymena.
The listed business has lodged the plans with Mid and East Antrim Borough Council for a proposed 40 tonnes per day facility at Silverwood Business Park.
Extensive design and engineering work has already been completed to enable the submission.
Powerhouse said the next stage, on receiving responses from the first round of planning consultations, will be the preparation of the Permit application to the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA).
Paul Emmitt, Powerhouse chief executive, said: "This is a major step forward for the company.
"Ballymena is set to become the Hydrogen Hub of Northern Ireland, with the organisations including Wrightbus, Translink and the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council all focused on developing the hydrogen economy in Northern Ireland."
