Essar Energy Transition (EET) has announced the launch of EET Hydrogen Power, Europe’s first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant, to be built at its Stanlow refinery. The project, expected to be ready in 2027, will support EET Fuels’ ambition to become the lowest carbon process refinery globally and EET Hydrogen’s ambition to become the leading low-carbon hydrogen producer in the UK. It will also provide low-carbon power to other industrial users in the region to support their decarbonisation targets. EET Hydrogen Power will become an independent vertical under EET. It will be developed over two phases to reach a power capacity of 125 MW with 6,000 tonnes per day of steam, and the hydrogen will replace hydrocarbons resulting in the reduction of 740,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum.
