Essar Energy Transition, the operator of Stanlow oil refinery in northwest England, is planning to construct Europe's first hydrogen-ready power plant on the site. The combined heat and power plant is projected to be completed by 2027 as part of Stanlow's efforts to reduce emissions by 95% by 2030. This initiative is part of the Hynet regional decarbonization cluster, which focuses on supplying cleaner hydrogen to the refinery and local industries. A hydrogen production plant will be established with carbon capture technology to produce blue hydrogen, scheduled to commence operations by 2028. This plant will provide hydrogen to the power plant and the oil refinery. Additionally, a hydrogen-ready furnace will be connected to the crude-processing unit early next year before the power plant transitions to hydrogen. The investment decision for these projects is expected later this year, marking significant progress towards a more sustainable energy future.
