UK's Gowy Green Hydrogen Project: Decarbonizing Industry Through Collaboration
Key Ideas
  • SSE and EET Hydrogen collaborate to develop a 40MWe green hydrogen production facility at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
  • The Gowy Green Hydrogen project aims to support industrial decarbonisation in the region by providing hydrogen to local industries, contributing to the UK's target of achieving 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030.
  • Feasibility studies have been completed, and design and site investigation works are progressing, with the facility expected to be operational by 2028. A planning application is set to be submitted by 2025.
  • The initiative is part of the UK's broader efforts to develop a clean power system and support industries that are challenging to decarbonise, showcasing SSE's commitment to various hydrogen initiatives for a sustainable energy transition.
SSE and EET Hydrogen have joined forces to establish the Gowy Green Hydrogen project at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This collaborative effort aims to develop a 40MWe green hydrogen production facility to facilitate industrial decarbonisation in the region. By providing hydrogen to local industries, the project aligns with the UK's goal of achieving 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030. Feasibility studies have been successfully completed, and progress is being made in design and site investigation works, with plans for the facility to commence operations by 2028. The partners anticipate submitting a planning application by 2025. Joe Seifert, CEO of EET Hydrogen, expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its significance in advancing low-carbon hydrogen initiatives. SSE Thermal's Director of Business Development, Hannah Bronwin, emphasized the importance of scaling up green hydrogen production to decarbonise challenging industries and enhance the clean power infrastructure. This endeavor signifies a crucial milestone in the UK's transition towards a sustainable energy landscape, with SSE actively engaged in various hydrogen projects to drive the energy transition and support hard-to-decarbonise sectors.
