- ENI and UK Government achieve financial close on HyNet CO2 transport and storage project.
- EET Hydrogen's HPP1 project will capture 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
- HPP1 is set to be the UK's first large low carbon hydrogen plant with 350MW capacity.
- Stanlow aims to capture 2 million tonnes of CO2 through its decarbonisation program.
HyNet CO2 Project Milestone
ENI and the UK Government have reached financial close on the core CO2 transport and storage project, a key component of the HyNet Cluster in Liverpool Bay. This development marks the start of the construction phase for the infrastructure that will significantly reduce CO2 emissions in North West England and North Wales.
EET Hydrogen's HPP1 Project
The HPP1 project by EET Hydrogen is one of the initial projects supplying CO2 for permanent storage. It is poised to become the UK's first large-scale low carbon hydrogen plant, with a capacity of 350MW and the ability to capture 600,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, equivalent to removing 125,000 cars from the road.
Stanlow Manufacturing Complex
Located at the heart of HyNet, the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex is anchored by the EET Fuels' refinery, a major offtake and enabler of HPP1. The complex is transforming into a leading energy transition hub, aiming to capture around 2 million tonnes of CO2 through its decarbonisation program, which includes electrification, carbon capture, further hydrogen production, and sustainable aviation fuel development.
Regional Impact
Stanlow's strategic position within the HyNet project is expected to support the growth of North West businesses and ensure fuel security for the UK. The development of local hydrogen production and CO2 infrastructure will also benefit other low carbon high-tech businesses in the region.
