EET Fuels Leading the Way Towards Green Refineries with Hydrogen Innovation
Key Ideas
  • EET Fuels is investing $1.2 billion to decarbonise operations and aims for a 95% cut in emissions by 2030 through various means including blue hydrogen utilization.
  • The UK's Stanlow facility will be transformed into the world's first decarbonized green refinery using blue hydrogen for heating and power needs.
  • The HyNet project by EET will produce 350MW of blue hydrogen initially and scale up to 1GW, significantly contributing to CO2 reduction equivalent to removing 1.1 million cars from the roads.
  • The UK government's substantial funding for carbon capture clusters signifies strong support for projects like HyNet, indicating a positive trend towards hydrogen-led decarbonization.
EET Fuels, as part of Essar Energy Transition, is making significant strides in the decarbonization of its operations by committing $1.2 billion to achieve a 95% reduction in emissions by 2030. The company intends to achieve this through a combination of energy efficiency improvements, carbon capture technologies, and fuel switching measures. One of the key highlights is the transformation of the Stanlow facility in the UK into the world's first decarbonized green refinery. This transformation will involve the consumption of blue hydrogen to meet the heating and power requirements of the refinery. Through the HyNet project, EET plans to produce 350MW of blue hydrogen initially, with a future expansion to 1GW, aiming to significantly reduce carbon emissions. The utilization of blue hydrogen in the refinery process is expected to decarbonize up to 2.5 million tonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to the emissions from 1.1 million cars. The commitment to using hydrogen for refinery operations is a pioneering move on a global scale. Additionally, the recent announcement by the UK government of substantial funding for carbon capture clusters, including blue hydrogen projects like HyNet, showcases strong support for initiatives driving decarbonization efforts. EET's pilot of the HyNet project represents a significant step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
