EET Fuels has chosen Wood, based in Aberdeen, to oversee the planning works for its hydrogen fuel switching project at the Stanlow refinery near Liverpool. The project, an integral part of EET Fuels' goal to establish the world's first decarbonised refinery, involves transitioning to hydrogen produced on-site to replace natural gas and refinery off-gas. Wood will handle the front-end engineering and design phase, coordinating the development of a hydrogen-ready furnace and redesigning core infrastructure for safe hydrogen combustion. The furnace, a first of its kind in UK refineries, is designed to operate on 100% hydrogen or a mix of fuel gases, targeting a reduction of approximately 200,000 tonnes of emissions per year. EET Fuels, with plans to invest £1.2 billion over the next five years, aims for a significant emissions decrease of 95% by 2030. This initiative includes not only hydrogen fuel switching but also enhanced efficiency measures and future carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects at Stanlow. Furthermore, the company is set to build Europe's first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant at the refinery by 2027. These efforts align with the HyNet cluster's objectives, focusing on capturing and storing CO2 emissions from various industries in northwest England, with Stanlow playing a crucial role in this decarbonisation journey.
