EET Fuels Advancing Hydrogen Fuel Switching Project for Low Carbon Refinery
Key Ideas
- EET Fuels progresses to the engineering design stage with Wood for its Hydrogen Fuel Switching project, aiming to reduce emissions at Stanlow Refinery.
- The project involves utilizing hydrogen from EET Hydrogen for fuel switching, starting with a hydrogen-ready crude distiller furnace capable of running on pure hydrogen.
- Upon completion, the project is expected to reduce emissions by 0.2 million tonnes per year at the Stanlow Refinery and enable the fuel switching of all fired-heaters on site.
- EET Fuels aims to become the world’s first low carbon process refinery, with a target of reducing CO2 emissions by 95% at the Stanlow Refinery by 2030, contributing to UK energy security.
EET Fuels, also known as Essar Oil UK, is making significant progress in its Hydrogen Fuel Switching project aimed at creating a low carbon process refinery. The company has reached the front-end engineering design stage of the project, with Wood being appointed to finalize the designs for the fuel system and re-design the infrastructure to accommodate hydrogen combustion safely and efficiently. This initiative is part of EET Fuels' plan to reduce CO2 emissions at the Stanlow Refinery by 95% by 2030. The project involves using hydrogen from EET Hydrogen, a low carbon hydrogen production company, to fuel assets like the hydrogen-ready crude distiller furnace at the refinery. Once operational, this furnace can run on 100% hydrogen or a mix of fuel gases, marking a significant step towards emissions reduction. The successful completion of the engineering design stage will pave the way for EET Fuels to make a final investment decision on the project. Deepak Maheshwari, CEO of EET Fuels, highlighted the importance of the Hydrogen Fuel Switching project in their overall plans, emphasizing sustainability and the refinery's role in the UK's industrial landscape. Wood, as a key partner in this endeavor, expressed their commitment to decarbonization and energy transition through this collaboration with EET Fuels.
