The EET HPP1 is expected to be the first large -scale large -scale low -scale hydrogen production plant with a capacity or 350 megawatts (MW) and capture about 600,000 tons of CO2 per year
ESSAR Energy Transition (EAT) congratulated ENI on Friday and the United Kingdom government for achieving a financial closure in the central carbon transport and storage project of the Hynet industrial cluster (Liverpool Bay CCS).
The EET Hydrogen Production Plant (HPP1) project is one of the four initial projects that will provide carbon to this infrastructure for permanent storage.
HPP1 is expected to be the first large -scale low -scale hydrogen production plant in the United Kingdom with a capacity of 350 megawatts (MW) and capturing about 600,000 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing 125,000 car road cars.
“We are delighted that the ENI construction phase now begins in the infrastructure that allows Hynet; vital for mass reductions in carbon emissions and allow the investment very necessary, protecting and growing jobs and industries throughout the north of Wales.”
Tony Fountain, managing partner or EAT, said: “The Hynet CO2 pipe is a game change for industry in the northwest and confirms the unique positioning of our Stanlow manufacturing complex as an energy transition center.”
This presents enormous opportunities for the future growth of northwest companies and guarantees that Stanlow can follow his goal of being one of the main decarbonized refineries in Europe, providing the United Kingdom with fuel security for many years, he added.
Joe Seifert, CEO or Eat Hydogen added: “Today’s announcement provides great impulse as we move towards the construction phase of our flagship project.”
The EET Stanlow manufacturing complex is located in the heart of Hynet, anchored by the fuel refinery, which is a large number of shots and enabling or HPP1.
EET projects are transforming Stanlow into a leading energy transition center in the world that can capture around 2 million tons of carbon from the refinery through the decarbonization program.
The program includes carbon electrification and capture, as well as a hydrogen production plant (HPP2) and the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
Stanlow is also expected to play a key role in allowing other low -carbon high -tech companies to benefit from local hydrogen production and carbon infrastructure.
