EET Hydrogen Partners with ENKA for UK's First Large-Scale Low Carbon Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
- EET Hydrogen signs EPC contract with ENKA for a 350MW low carbon hydrogen production plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.
- The project aims to capture 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to removing 250,000 cars off the road, supporting the UK's decarbonisation efforts.
- ENKA, a renowned global engineering and construction firm, brings expertise to support the HyNet Cluster's mission of reducing emissions and fostering sustainable economic growth.
- The partnership represents a significant milestone for the UK hydrogen industry and EET Hydrogen's goal of developing 4GW of low carbon hydrogen production across the North West.
Essar Energy Transition (EET) Hydrogen has announced the signing of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract with ENKA for the construction of a flagship low carbon hydrogen production plant (HPP1) at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This project, supported by UK government funding, represents the country's first large-scale low carbon hydrogen initiative within the HyNet Cluster. With a capacity of 350MW, HPP1 is set to capture approximately 600,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, contributing significantly to decarbonisation efforts by reducing emissions equivalent to taking 250,000 cars off the road. The collaboration between EET Hydrogen and ENKA signifies a major advancement in the UK hydrogen industry and towards EET Hydrogen's objective of developing 4GW of low carbon hydrogen production in the North West region. ENKA, known for its global engineering and construction projects, brings valuable expertise to support the sustainable growth and emission reduction goals of the HyNet Cluster. Both companies have expressed enthusiasm and commitment to the transformative impact of the HPP1 project on the UK's low carbon hydrogen industry and global decarbonisation initiatives.
