Essar Energy Transition is planning a £4.3 billion investment at the Stanlow refinery to pivot toward low carbon energy. The strategy includes developing 1.35GW of hydrogen production capacity, carbon capture infrastructure, and sustainable aviation fuel facilities. These projects aim to abate 4.1 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2035. The company is also advocating for the inclusion of refined products in the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism to protect domestic low carbon industry from higher emission imports.
