EET Launches Europe's First Hydrogen-Ready Power Plant at Stanlow Refinery
Key Ideas
  • Essar Energy Transition (EET) has launched EET Hydrogen Power, a cutting-edge combined heat and power plant at its Stanlow refinery, set for completion in 2027.
  • The plant aims to replace hydrocarbons with hydrogen, offsetting 740,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and supporting EET Fuels' goal of slashing emissions by 95% by 2030.
  • This initiative is part of EET's $3 billion energy transition investment in the North West of England, positioning them as a leader in low-carbon hydrogen production.
  • EET Hydrogen Power will not only benefit Stanlow refinery but also provide low carbon power to other industrial users in the region, aiding in their decarbonization efforts.
Essar Energy Transition (EET) has introduced Europe's pioneering hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant, EET Hydrogen Power, to be constructed at Stanlow refinery, UK. This venture, set to be completed by 2027, is a strategic move by EET to revolutionize its operations towards carbon neutrality. The plant, which will operate independently under EET, is designed to achieve a power capacity of 125 MW and produce 6,000 tonnes of steam per day, significantly reducing carbon emissions. By shifting to hydrogen from hydrocarbons, the plant plans to mitigate 740,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, marking a substantial leap in sustainable energy practices. Moreover, EET aims to transform Stanlow refinery into the world's most environmentally friendly by slashing emissions by 95% before 2030. With an investment of $3 billion earmarked for energy transition initiatives in the North West of England, EET is solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the low-carbon energy sector. This groundbreaking project not only benefits EET's operations but also extends its positive environmental impact by providing low carbon power to neighboring industrial entities, facilitating their journey towards decarbonization.
