Essar Energy Transition, a part of the Essar Group, has revealed plans to construct Europe's first hydrogen-ready power plant at the Stanlow refinery in the UK by 2027. The EET Hydrogen Power project is a significant step towards decarbonising the industry and power system in the UK, in line with government emission reduction goals. The new plant, set to reach 125 MW of power capacity and 6,000 tonnes per day of steam, will replace existing boiler units to cut 740,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and reduce emissions by 95% by 2030. This initiative will not only benefit Stanlow refinery but also provide low carbon power to other industrial users in the region. EET Hydrogen Power is a key part of EET's broader energy transition initiatives, which include developing green hydrogen capacity for the UK market and supporting high-skilled employment growth in the North West. The project is seen as a blueprint for future industrial and power decarbonisation, contributing to the wider HyNet industrial cluster's emission reduction targets. Overall, the investment in building Europe's first hydrogen-ready power plant demonstrates Essar Energy Transition's commitment to advancing low carbon energy solutions and showcasing a sustainable pathway for decarbonising high emitting industries both locally and globally.
