Essar Energy Transition (EET) has revealed plans to set up what it claims to be Europe's pioneer hydrogen-ready Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at its Stanlow refinery in the UK, expected to be operational by 2027. The EET Hydrogen Power project will be developed in two phases to achieve a power capacity of 125MW with 6,000 tonnes per day of steam, intending to replace hydrocarbons with hydrogen and decrease CO2 emissions by 740,000 tonnes per year. The new plant at Stanlow will supplant the existing boiler units, which currently produce about 50MW of power for refinery activities. By upgrading the plant and slashing emissions by 95%, EET envisions making it the world's most carbon-efficient refinery. Tony Fountain, Essar Energy Transition's Managing Partner, highlighted that the launch of EET Hydrogen Power showcases the progress the company is making in spearheading low-carbon energy in the UK. This investment in a hydrogen-ready power plant forms a crucial component of EET's $3 billion energy transition strategies in the Northwest of England, with a special emphasis on supporting the HyNet industrial cluster, dedicated to hydrogen and carbon capture. The EET Hydrogen Power project will operate as an independent entity within EET alongside EET Fuels, EET Hydrogen, and Stanlow Terminals. Moreover, EET is finalizing negotiations with the UK Government on the HPP1 blue hydrogen plant in Ellesmere, which will have an initial output capacity of 350 megawatts and capture approximately 600,000 tonnes of CO2 yearly, supplying hydrogen to industrial enterprises across Northwest England. The initiative signifies EET's dedication to driving innovative low-carbon solutions and advancing the transition towards sustainable energy sources.
