Kent's Key Role in UK's Pioneering Low-Carbon Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
  • Kent secures a major contract with ENKA for detailed engineering of UK's first large-scale low carbon hydrogen production plant at Stanlow Manufacturing Complex.
  • The project, HPP1, with a capacity of 350MW, will capture around 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, supporting the UK's energy and industrial decarbonisation strategy.
  • HPP1 aligns with UK's hydrogen industry targets and will supply low-carbon hydrogen to industrial businesses in the North West of England, aiding in regional decarbonisation and economic growth.
  • Kent's involvement in the project demonstrates its commitment to advancing low-carbon energy solutions and contributing to the UK's net-zero ambitions.
Kent has secured a significant contract with ENKA for detailed engineering of the low-carbon hydrogen production plant (HPP1) at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, UK. This project, developed for Essar Energy Transition (EET) Hydrogen, marks a milestone in the UK's energy and industrial decarbonisation strategy. With a production capacity of 350MW, HPP1 aims to capture approximately 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to removing 250,000 cars from the road. The UK Government's funding support for HPP1 underscores its importance as the country's first large-scale low-carbon hydrogen production facility, forming the core of the Hynet Cluster. Kent's role in delivering the detailed engineering of HPP1 showcases its expertise in handling large and complex projects. The project aligns with the UK's hydrogen industry targets and will supply low-carbon hydrogen to industrial businesses in the North West of England, contributing to regional decarbonisation, job protection, and economic growth. Kent's commitment to advancing low-carbon energy solutions and supporting the UK's net-zero ambitions is highlighted through its involvement in this pioneering project.
