EET Hydrogen Power: Europe's First Hydrogen-Ready Power Plant Launched at Stanlow Refinery
Key Ideas
  • Essar Energy Transition (EET) announced the launch of EET Hydrogen Power, a hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant at Stanlow refinery, aiming for completion in 2027.
  • The investment supports EET Fuels' goal of becoming the lowest carbon process refinery globally and EET Hydrogen's ambition to be the leading low-carbon hydrogen producer in the UK, aiding in decarbonisation targets for industrial users in the region.
  • EET Hydrogen Power, with a capacity of 125 MW of power and 6,000 tonnes per day of steam, will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 740,000 tonnes per annum, integral to EET Fuels' plan to cut emissions by 95% by 2030.
  • The project aligns with the decarbonisation plans of the wider HyNet industrial cluster, contributes to employment growth in the North West, and is part of EET's $3.0 billion energy transition initiatives in the region.
Essar Energy Transition (EET) has unveiled Europe's first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant, EET Hydrogen Power, at Stanlow refinery in the UK, scheduled for completion in 2027. This initiative is part of EET Fuels' strategy to establish the lowest carbon process refinery globally and EET Hydrogen's aim to lead low-carbon hydrogen production in the UK while providing low-carbon power to other industrial users in the region. With plans to replace hydrocarbons with hydrogen, the project targets a substantial reduction of 740,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually. EET Hydrogen Power will replace existing boiler units, significantly contributing to the decarbonisation goal of reducing emissions by 95% by 2030 at Stanlow refinery. The project is crucial for the decarbonisation plans of the wider HyNet industrial cluster and sets a blueprint for future industrial and power decarbonisation. Additionally, the investment in EET Hydrogen Power supports employment growth in the North West and aligns with EET's commitment to low-carbon energy. With a focus on creating a low carbon transition hub, EET Hydrogen Power aims to showcase the pathway for decarbonising high emitting industries while contributing to regional emissions reduction targets.
