EET Fuels, a subsidiary of Essar Oil (UK) Ltd, has completed the installation of the UK's first hydrogen-ready furnace at its Stanlow site in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The new furnace, operational since August 2022, is designed to run on 100% refinery off gas, a blend of ROG and hydrogen, or 100% hydrogen. By 2028, it will transition to using 100% low-carbon hydrogen from EET Hydrogen's HPP1 plant. This transition is part of EET Fuels' ambition to eliminate 95% of its carbon emissions by 2030, contributing to a reduction of around 2 million tons of CO2 annually. The furnace's efficiency will lead to a significant decrease in CO2 emissions, improving air quality and energy efficiency at the Stanlow refinery. EET Fuels plans to invest $1.2bn over the next five years to decarbonize operations, including industrial carbon capture and fuel switching. The company's efforts align with the HyNet decarbonization cluster and aim to reduce the North West's overall carbon emissions by 12.5%.
