Essar Energy Transition (EET) has acquired Thornton Science Park, a 66-acre energy research centre in the North West of England, aiming to boost the UK's energy transition efforts. The park, located near the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex, will serve as a hub for energy transition initiatives, contributing to the country's goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The acquisition aligns with EET's plan to invest US$3bn in energy transition projects and support the Labour government's decarbonisation policy. EET's subsidiaries, including EET Hydrogen, are set to pioneer low carbon refinery and hydrogen production projects, positioning the park as a key player in the green hydrogen sector. The UK government's commitment to investing £500 million in green hydrogen production and setting a 5GW target by 2030 is expected to further propel the development of green hydrogen projects. The move towards green hydrogen is seen as vital to revitalizing the UK's energy sector and accelerating the country's transition to a greener, more sustainable future.
