Toyo-India Appointed for Carbon Capture Project at UK's Stanlow Refinery
Key Ideas
- EET Fuels has invested $1.2 billion to decarbonize the Stanlow oil refinery in the UK, targeting a 95% reduction in emissions by 2030 through various strategies.
- Toyo Engineering India Pvt Ltd has been appointed to carry out the front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the industrial carbon capture project at Stanlow refinery.
- The carbon capture project is expected to capture about 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year, removing around 45% of all Stanlow emissions, with completion anticipated in 2028.
- EET Fuels aims to become the world's first low carbon process refinery by significantly reducing industrial carbon emissions in the North West, supported by the carbon capture and storage plans.
EET Fuels, the owner of the UK's Stanlow oil refinery, is investing $1.2 billion over the next five years to decarbonize its operations. One of their key projects is the industrial carbon capture initiative aimed at achieving a 95% reduction in emissions by 2030. To facilitate this, Toyo Engineering India Pvt Ltd has been appointed to conduct the front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the project. The carbon capture project, upon completion in 2028, is expected to capture around 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually, which would account for 45% of all Stanlow emissions.
The captured carbon dioxide will be sequestered into depleted gas fields in Liverpool Bay, forming part of the HyNet industrial decarbonization cluster. EET Fuels is also progressing with a hydrogen fuel switching project, showcasing its commitment to reducing CO2 emissions at the Stanlow refinery significantly. The CEO of EET Fuels expressed optimism about the carbon capture and storage plans, highlighting the importance of these initiatives in securing the refinery's future and reducing carbon emissions in the region. The planned carbon capture plant, set to be completed by 2028, will further contribute to the significant reduction of emissions at Stanlow.
