Stanlow offers blueprint for low-carbon refining
EET’s $2.4b plan to decarbonise major refinery in northwest England hits key milestone with CO₂ pipeline approval
Marcos Matijasevich and his team at EET Fuels received some important news in late March: the UK government had approved the development of Eni’s onshore CO₂ pipeline linking the HyNet North West low-carbon industrial cluster in northwest England to offshore storage capacity under the Irish Sea. The decision marked a key milestone for India-owned EET’s $2.4b plan to decarbonise the Stanlow oil refinery at Ellesmere Port, which sits within the HyNet cluster and produces about 16% of the UK’s road transport fuels. The pipeline will take CO₂ captured from two blue hydrogen production facilities under development at Stanlow, and one other refinery process unit, to offshore storage facilities ope
