EET Fuels Leading the Way: Transforming Stanlow Oil Refinery into a Decarbonised Hub
Key Ideas
  • EET Fuels appoints Toyo Engineering India to design a carbon capture project at Stanlow, aiming to capture and store 1m tonnes of CO2 annually under Liverpool Bay.
  • Stanlow Oil Refinery, a major CO2 emitter, plans to capture and store around 45% of its emissions by 2028, contributing to global decarbonisation efforts.
  • EET invests in a new furnace at Stanlow capable of using hydrogen, signaling a shift towards decarbonisation in the oil refining process.
  • EET's HyNet project will produce 'blue hydrogen' by capturing emissions from burning natural gas, aiming to supply hydrogen to factories in the North West.
EET Fuels, operating as Essar Oil UK, is taking steps to revolutionize the Stanlow Oil Refinery in Liverpool by initiating a carbon capture and storage project. This project, targeting 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually, is designed to combat the refinery's significant CO2 emissions, with plans to capture and store approximately 45% of these emissions by 2028. Through investments in a new furnace capable of utilizing hydrogen, EET is positioning Stanlow as a pioneer in decarbonisation within the oil refining sector. The HyNet project, integral to this transformation, aims to produce 'blue hydrogen' by capturing emissions from natural gas burning and storing them in Liverpool Bay's depleted gas fields. By securing funding and engaging in strategic partnerships, EET is driving towards a low-carbon future, with ambitions to have a hydrogen power plant operational by 2027. The appointment of Toyo Engineering India for project design, along with plans for a hydrogen and carbon capture hub at Thornton Science Park, highlights EET's commitment to sustainability and reducing industrial carbon emissions in the North West. Deepak Maheshwari, CEO of EET Fuels, underscores the importance of these initiatives in securing the refinery's future and establishing it as a global leader in low-carbon processes.
