Essar Oil UK announced the selection of a second key licensor technology provider, Denmark-based Topsoe, for setting up an industrial carbon capture facility as part of its planned energy transition project at Stanlow, UK.
Topsoe will provide its sustainable flue-gas treatment technology SNOXTM, the company said in a statement.
Essar had earlier this year created a new entity to drive low carbon projects in the UK and India over the next five years. Essar Energy Transition (EET), the new unit, would invest across its site at Stanlow, between Liverpool and Manchester and in India for developing low carbon energy transition projects.
The company said its overall decarbonisation strategy plans to reduce refinery emissions with two projects – industrial carbon capture (ICC) at Stanlow which aims to be operational by 2028, and hydrogen fuel switching from natural gas to hydrogen as fuel source.
The projects will result in annual emissions reduction of about 1 million tons of CO2 each.
With the selection of Topsoe and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Essar Oil UK has identified most of its technology partners and is ready to progress to the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase of the project. Development of the basic engineering design packages (BEDP) for the licensed technologies is already ongoing.
