EET announces to develop hydrogen-powered power plant

New Delhi, July 12,2024: Essar Energy Transition (EET) on Friday announced the launch of EET Hydrogen Power calling it Europe’s first hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant.
Based at the EET Fuels’ Stanlow refinery, EET Hydrogen Power will be operating by 2027.
“EET Hydrogen Power will be developed over two phases to reach a capacity of 125 MW of power with 6,000 tonnes per day of steam, with the hydrogen replacing hydrocarbons delivering a reduction of 740,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum,” the company said in a media release.
It further said that the new plant will replace Stanlow’s existing boiler units, which currently generate approximately 50MW of power for the refinery operations.
EET Hydrogen Power is a key infrastructure project, supporting the decarbonisation plans of the wider HyNet industrial cluster as well as forming a blueprint for future industrial and power decarbonisation.
“Launching EET Hydrogen Power shows the progress that Essar Energy Transition is making in delivering against its commitment to put the UK at the forefront of low carbon energy,” said Tony Fountain, Managing Partner of Essar Energy Transition.
Added Rob Wallace, Chief Executive Officer of EET Hydrogen Power, “We have bold ambitions for Stanlow to become a low carbon transition hub at the centre of the HyNet Industrial Cluster. EET Hydrogen Power will be Europe’s first 100% hydrogen-ready gas-turbine plant which will be supplied with EET Hydrogen’s low carbon hydrogen.”
