Europe's First Hydrogen-Ready Combined Heat and Power Plant at Stanlow Oil Refinery
Key Ideas
  • EET Fuels plans to construct Europe's first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant at Stanlow oil refinery by 2027, aiming to make it the lowest-carbon process refinery globally.
  • The hydrogen power plant will replace existing boiler units, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 740,000 tonnes annually and supporting EET's goal to cut emissions by 95% by 2030.
  • The project is part of the HyNet decarbonisation cluster, with an investment of $3 billion in energy transition initiatives in the North West of England, showcasing bold ambitions for regional decarbonisation.
  • EET's innovative approach includes using hydrogen as a fuel source for electricity generation, positioning the company as a key player in low-carbon energy production and contributing to national grid supply.
EET Fuels has unveiled plans for Europe's inaugural hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant at the Stanlow oil refinery, slated for completion by 2027. This initiative aligns with their vision to transform Stanlow into the world's most eco-friendly process refinery. The project's primary goal is to replace traditional hydrocarbon-fueled units with a hydrogen-based setup, expected to curtail carbon dioxide emissions by a substantial 740,000 tonnes annually. EET aims to drastically reduce emissions by 95% before 2030, positioning Stanlow as a global leader in low-carbon refinery operations. The hydrogen CHP development, forming a crucial component of EET's decarbonisation strategy, is set to enhance the region's sustainability targets. This venture is part of the broader HyNet decarbonisation cluster, which includes carbon capture for offshore storage. With a significant investment of $3 billion in energy transition endeavors in the North West of England, EET is driving forward bold decarbonisation ambitions. By leveraging advanced hydrogen-ready technology in power generation, EET is pioneering low-carbon energy production and reinforcing its commitment to global decarbonisation efforts.
