Essar Energy Transition (EET) serves as the dedicated energy transition platform of the Essar Group, an Indian conglomerate, with a primary focus on decarbonizing refining and industrial operations in the United Kingdom.
Through its EET Fuels division (trading name of Essar Oil (UK) Limited), the company operates the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex refinery in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire—one of the UK’s four remaining major refineries. This facility produces refined petroleum products, supplying approximately 18% of the nation’s road transport fuels and 12.5% of its jet fuel, while providing critical feedstocks to the UK’s inorganic chemicals sector.
EET is advancing a portfolio of low-carbon projects, including large-scale blue hydrogen production (targeting 1.35 GW initially via EET Hydrogen), a hydrogen-ready combined heat and power plant (EET Hydrogen Power), carbon capture infrastructure, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production through methanol-to-jet technology. These initiatives form part of a multi-billion-dollar investment pipeline aimed at establishing the North West of England as a leading energy transition hub within the HyNet industrial cluster.
Wholly owned by Essar Global Fund Limited (Mauritius) and ultimately part of the Essar Group, EET aligns with UK net-zero policies, supports regional economic value through supply chain spending and job creation, and positions the Stanlow site as a global benchmark for industrial decarbonization while preserving energy security and skilled employment.
