EET Fuels Partners with Toyo-India for Stanlow Refinery Carbon Capture Project

EET Fuels has appointed Toyo Engineering India Pvt Ltd to execute the FEED study for its carbon capture project at the Stanlow oil refinery. The project aims to cut emissions by 95% by 2030, with the captured CO2 sequestered in Liverpool Bay. The final investment decision is expected post-FEED completion in 2028.

EET Fuels has chosen Toyo Engineering India Pvt Ltd to spearhead the front-end engineering design (FEED) for an ambitious carbon capture initiative at its Stanlow oil refinery in the UK. The company is injecting USD 1.2 billion to decarbonize Stanlow, focusing on reducing emissions by 95% by 2030 through advanced methods including carbon capture, energy efficiency, and fuel switching.

The appointment of Toyo-India, a subsidiary specializing in engineering, procurement, and construction, marks a crucial step forward. The firm will oversee the FEED phase, encompassing design completion, project risk mitigation, and comprehensive costing analysis. These will be pivotal in reaching a final investment decision (FID) for the project.

Upon anticipated completion in 2028, the project aims to capture approximately 1 million tons of CO2 annually, significantly reducing emissions from the refinery's full-residue fluid catalytic cracking unit. The carbon will be stored in depleted gas fields in Liverpool Bay as part of the HyNet decarbonization cluster. EET Fuels has also applied for a revenue support mechanism from the UK Government, aligning with the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero's Track One expansion programme.
