EET Fuels, operating under Essar Oil (UK) Ltd, has chosen Toyo Engineering India Pvt. Ltd. (a subsidiary of Japan’s Toyo Engineering Corporation) to oversee the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase of its Industrial Carbon Capture (ICC) project.
Toyo-India, a leader in engineering, procurement, and construction, will manage key aspects such as design finalization, risk mitigation, and detailed cost analysis. Completion of the FEED phase will be crucial for EET Fuels to make its final investment decision (FID) on the project.
Scheduled for completion in 2028, the ICC project aims to capture carbon dioxide from the Stanlow refinery’s full-residue fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit—one of the largest in Europe. The captured CO2 will be transported via a repurposed gas pipeline and stored permanently in depleted gas fields in Liverpool Bay, contributing to the HyNet industrial decarbonisation initiative in North West England.
The project is expected to capture 1 million tons of CO2 annually, reducing Stanlow’s emissions by approximately 45%. EET Fuels has applied to the UK Government’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero for a revenue support mechanism under the Track One expansion program for carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS). The timeline for the final investment decision will depend on the progress of this application.
