ENKA Awarded Contract for North-west Low Carbon Hydrogen Production Plant
Key Ideas
  • ENKA, a Turkish firm, has been awarded the EPC contract for the low carbon hydrogen production plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
  • The facility, part of the HyNet Cluster, will have a production capacity of 350MW, capturing 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
  • The project, funded by the UK government, aims to support industrial businesses in the North West to decarbonise, creating a direct supply of low carbon hydrogen fuel to Manchester Airport.
  • EET Hydrogen and ENKA express excitement for the partnership, emphasizing the project's role in advancing the UK's low carbon hydrogen industry and global decarbonisation efforts.
ENKA, a Turkish firm, has secured the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract for the low carbon hydrogen production plant at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This plant, part of the HyNet Cluster, will be pivotal in supporting industrial businesses in the North West of England to decarbonise their operations. Once operational, the facility will have a significant production capacity of 350MW and is projected to capture approximately 600,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing 250,000 cars from the road. The UK government has provided funding for the project, highlighting its commitment to sustainable energy initiatives. Notably, the hydrogen production infrastructure will extend its reach to Manchester Airport, marking it as the first UK airport to receive a direct supply of low carbon hydrogen fuel. The CEOs of EET Hydrogen and ENKA have expressed their enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing ENKA's track record in delivering complex projects and the transformative impact the HPP1 project will have on the UK's low carbon hydrogen industry. The collaboration aims to contribute significantly to the mission of reducing emissions and fostering sustainable economic growth within the region.
