EET Hydrogen Power: Transforming Stanlow Refinery into a Low Carbon Transition Hub
Key Ideas
- EET Hydrogen Power is Europe's first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant at Stanlow refinery, aiming to reduce 740,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
- The project forms a crucial part of EET's $3 billion energy transition initiatives in the North West of England, supporting decarbonisation and creating high-skilled employment.
- The investment contributes to EET Fuels' goal of being the lowest carbon process refinery globally and EET Hydrogen's ambition to lead low carbon hydrogen production in the UK.
- The project is a key infrastructure initiative supporting the decarbonisation plans of the wider HyNet industrial cluster and setting a blueprint for future industrial decarbonisation.
Essar Energy Transition (EET) has launched EET Hydrogen Power, Europe’s first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant to be built at its Stanlow refinery in the United Kingdom, with an expected completion in 2027. The project aims to develop 125 MW of power and 6,000 tons of steam capacity, with hydrogen replacing hydrocarbons to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 740,000 tonnes annually. This initiative is part of EET's $3 billion energy transition plan in the North West, supporting decarbonisation and creating employment opportunities. The investment aligns with EET Fuels' mission to become the lowest carbon process refinery globally and EET Hydrogen's objective to lead low carbon hydrogen production in the UK. EET Hydrogen Power will replace existing boiler units at Stanlow, integral to achieving a 95% reduction in emissions by 2030, making it the world's lowest carbon refinery. Additionally, the project is crucial for the HyNet industrial cluster's decarbonisation plans and serves as a model for future industrial and power decarbonisation efforts.
