Key Ideas
  • Turkish firm ENKA secures EPC contract from EET Hydrogen for a 350MW hydrogen plant in Cheshire, UK at Stanlow Manufacturing Complex.
  • ENKA's expertise in construction showcased through previous projects like Hinkley Point Power Plant in Somerset.
  • HPP1 project aims to reduce emissions, capture 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, and support the HyNet Cluster's goal of 4GW low-carbon hydrogen production.
  • Project expected to start construction in 2022 with hydrogen production by 2028, facing delays from initial schedule.
Turkish manufacturing company ENKA has been chosen by Essar Energy Transition (EET) Hydrogen to handle the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of a hydrogen production plant in Cheshire, UK. The project, known as HPP1, will be situated at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port and is designed to have a capacity of 350MW while capturing approximately 600,000 tons of CO2 per year. ENKA, based in Istanbul, boasts a strong track record of constructing significant industrial projects in the UK, including landmarks like the Hinkley Point Power Plant and Shotton Mill Paper Mill Factory. The partnership between HPP1 and EET Hydrogen aligns with the HyNet Cluster's objective of establishing 4GW of low-carbon hydrogen production to aid decarbonization and economic growth in the North West of England. While delays have affected the project, pushing back the construction start to this year and hydrogen production to 2028, both companies remain committed to the initiative and the mission of reducing emissions. ENKA's reputation for delivering complex projects and the strategic significance of the HPP1 endeavor underscore the importance of this collaboration in advancing sustainable energy solutions.
