Essar aims to turn Stanlow into world's 1st decarbonised green refinery - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Essar group will turn the UK's Stanlow refinery into the world's first decarbonised green refinery as it plans to use blue hydrogen for meeting heating and power needs of the unit, cutting carbon emissions by as much as 95 per cent, a top official said Tuesday.

Speaking at FT's Energy Transition Summit India, Prashant Ruia, director of Essar Capital, which manages the group's portfolio of investments, said Essar Energy Transition's (EET) HyNet project will produce 350-megawatt of blue hydrogen in phase-1 and another 1 gigawatt in phase-II.

Since the UK does not have solar and wind potential to produce renewable electricity which could be used to split water in an electrolyser to produce green hydrogen and oxygen, EET will use natural gas to produce blue hydrogen and also capture and permanently store carbon produced during the process.
