EET Hydrogen Power: Pioneering Europe's First Hydrogen-Ready Combined Heat and Power Plant
Key Ideas
  • Essar Energy Transition (EET) launches EET Hydrogen Power at Stanlow refinery in the UK, aiming to be the lowest carbon process refinery globally and a leading low-carbon hydrogen producer.
  • EET Hydrogen Power will have a capacity of 125 MW of power and 6,000 tonnes per day of steam, reducing 740,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually by replacing hydrocarbons.
  • The project forms a key part of EET's $3.0 billion energy transition initiatives in the North West of England, supporting decarbonisation plans of the HyNet industrial cluster and contributing to regional emissions reduction targets.
  • Tony Fountain and Rob Wallace express confidence in EET's commitment to advancing low carbon energy in the UK through EET Hydrogen Power, showcasing a pathway for decarbonising high emitting industries.
Essar Energy Transition (EET) has introduced EET Hydrogen Power, Europe's first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant, at Stanlow refinery in the UK. This initiative is part of EET's vision to establish the lowest carbon process refinery globally and to lead in low-carbon hydrogen production. The plant is set for completion by 2027 and will provide low-carbon power to industrial users in the region, assisting in their decarbonisation efforts. EET Hydrogen Power will operate in two phases, aiming to reach a capacity of 125 MW of power and 6,000 tonnes of steam per day, resulting in an annual reduction of 740,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide by replacing hydrocarbons. The project is a crucial component of EET's $3.0 billion energy transition program in England, supporting the decarbonisation goals of the broader HyNet industrial cluster and serving as a model for future industrial and power decarbonisation. The investment also emphasizes EET's role in fostering high-skilled employment in the North West. Tony Fountain and Rob Wallace, representing EET, highlight the significance of EET Hydrogen Power in advancing low carbon energy in the UK and its contribution to reducing regional emissions.
