UK's First Large-Scale Low-Carbon Hydrogen Project at Stanlow Manufacturing Complex
Key Ideas
  • UK Government approved funding for HPP1, the nation's first large-scale low-carbon hydrogen project in October 2024.
  • HPP1 at Stanlow Manufacturing Complex will produce 350MW of low-carbon hydrogen annually and capture around 600,000 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to removing 250,000 cars per year.
  • ENKA, a global engineering firm, was chosen for the project due to its experience in delivering complex projects, emphasizing the importance of the partnership in achieving low carbon hydrogen production goals.
  • HPP1 is part of the HyNet Cluster strategy to establish a regional hydrogen network, showcasing collaborative efforts to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy solutions.
The UK Government has approved funding for the HyNet Cluster initiative's flagship project, HPP1, making it the nation's first large-scale low-carbon hydrogen project. Essar Energy Transition (EET) Hydrogen has partnered with ENKA to develop HPP1 at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The project aims to produce 350MW of low-carbon hydrogen annually and capture approximately 600,000 tonnes of CO2, contributing significantly to the UK's decarbonization objectives. ENKA's selection for the project was based on its proven track record in managing large-scale projects globally. EET Hydrogen's CEO and ENKA's Executive Committee member both expressed optimism about the partnership's potential to achieve low carbon hydrogen production goals and support the UK's transition towards cleaner energy sources. HPP1 forms a vital part of the broader HyNet Cluster strategy, focusing on establishing a regional hydrogen network to reduce carbon emissions across the UK. This initiative highlights the collaborative efforts between the government, industry, and international partners to drive sustainable economic growth and accelerate the adoption of cleaner energy solutions.
