Essar says the work at the Stanlow refinery will cut industrial carbon emissions by 20%.
An oil giant has announced plans to invest £1.9bn in Stanlow oil refinery in Cheshire, including establishing a plant to supply industrial hydrogen.
Plant owner Essar is also investing in a carbon capture plant and storage for green ammonia brought over from India. Essar will decarbonise its production of petrol, diesel and aviation fuel, and will supply clean power to nearby glass and chemical factories."It's a great day - we have a great set of investments which are really going to make a step change in the carbon footprint of the north-west of England," said Tony Fountain, Managing Partner at Essar Energy Transition .
