EET Fuels, a trading name of Essar Oil (UK) Ltd, has achieved a significant milestone by completing the installation of a new hydrogen-ready furnace at its Stanlow site in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. This furnace, delivered in August 2022, is now fully operational, offering the flexibility to run on different fuel types, including 100% hydrogen. By 2028, it will transition to using 100% low-carbon hydrogen from EET Hydrogen’s HPP1 plant, aligning with the company's ambitious goal to eliminate 95% of its carbon emissions by 2030. This transition will not only reduce carbon emissions but also enhance air quality by cutting NOX emissions and improving energy efficiency at the Stanlow refinery. The new furnace, replacing three old ones, plays a crucial role in heating crude oil and other feedstocks for product separation, highlighting its importance in the refinery process. Deepak Maheshwari, CEO at EET Fuels, emphasized the significance of this move, stating that it marks a major step in the decarbonisation strategy of the company, promising immediate and long-term benefits in reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing operational efficiency.
