EET Hydrogen Power Project: Transforming Stanlow Refinery into a Low-Carbon Hub
Key Ideas
  • EET will develop a 125MW combined heat and power plant using hydrogen power at Stanlow refinery in Ellesmere Port, UK, expected to reduce 740,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
  • The project, part of the HyNet industrial cluster, aligns with EET's $3bn energy transition plans in England, aiming to create a low-carbon hub.
  • EET Hydrogen Power will supply power and steam to Stanlow refinery, contributing to regional emissions reduction targets and positioning Stanlow as a low-carbon transition hub.
  • The CEO and Managing Partner of EET express optimism about the project, highlighting its role in promoting low-carbon energy and positioning the UK as a leader in the sector.
Essar Energy Transition (EET) is embarking on a transformative project to develop a 125MW combined heat and power plant named EET Hydrogen Power at the Stanlow refinery in Ellesmere Port, UK. This facility, set to be Europe's first hydrogen-ready plant, aims to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by 740,000 tonnes annually by utilizing hydrogen and steam instead of hydrocarbons. Operating from 2027, the plant will purchase hydrogen from EET Hydrogen's production units to fuel operations and supply power and steam to EET Fuels' Stanlow refinery. By becoming a key player in the HyNet industrial cluster, EET's project is part of a broader $3bn investment in energy transition initiatives in northwest England. The initiative includes plans for blue and green hydrogen capacity development, emphasizing EET's commitment to low-carbon energy. EET Hydrogen Power is positioned not only to meet regional emissions targets but also to establish Stanlow as a central low-carbon energy hub. The project has garnered positive feedback from key figures in EET, with CEO Rob Wallace and Managing Partner Tony Fountain expressing enthusiasm for advancing the UK's position in the low-carbon energy sector. This initiative marks a significant step towards achieving sustainability goals and promoting hydrogen as a clean energy source.
