EET Hydrogen Signs EPC Contract for Low Carbon Hydrogen Plant in Cheshire
Key Ideas
  • Essar Energy Transition Hydrogen has partnered with ENKA for the construction of a 350MW low carbon hydrogen production plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
  • The UK Government's support for the project marks a significant step in advancing the country's low carbon hydrogen industry and reducing emissions.
  • The HPP1 project aims to capture around 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to taking 250,000 cars off the road, contributing to global decarbonisation efforts.
  • EET Hydrogen's goal is to develop 4GW of low carbon hydrogen production in the North West of England, promoting industrial decarbonisation, protecting jobs, and driving economic growth.
Essar Energy Transition Hydrogen (EET Hydrogen) has announced the signing of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with ENKA for the construction of a groundbreaking low carbon hydrogen production plant (HPP1) at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, United Kingdom. This project, supported by the UK Government as the country's first large-scale low carbon hydrogen initiative within the HyNet Cluster, will have a substantial impact on reducing emissions. With a production capacity of 350MW, the plant is set to capture approximately 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, which is equivalent to removing about 250,000 cars from the roads each year. EET Hydrogen aims to become a leading producer of low carbon hydrogen by developing 4GW of production capacity across the North West of England, aiding industrial businesses in decarbonising operations, safeguarding jobs, and fostering economic growth. ENKA, a renowned global engineering and construction firm based in Istanbul, Turkey, brings its expertise to this transformative project. The partnership between EET Hydrogen and ENKA signifies a significant step towards advancing the UK's low carbon hydrogen industry and supporting sustainable economic development. The collaborative effort reflects a commitment to achieving environmental goals and promoting greener energy solutions in the region.
