　　EET Fuels 是 Essar Oil UK 的贸易名称，该公司在其打造世界领先的低碳工艺炼油厂的使命中取得了重要里程碑，其氢燃料转换项目已进入前端工程设计 (FEED) 阶段。这项举措是 EET Fuels 战略的核心，该战略旨在使英国斯坦洛炼油厂脱碳，到 2030 年将碳排放量减少 95%。

　　斯坦洛炼油厂位于英国曼彻斯特运河南岸柴郡埃尔斯米尔港。该炼油厂最初由壳牌公司于 1924 年建立，最初是一家沥青厂，1952 年扩建为一家大型原油炼油厂。该炼油厂在二战期间发挥了至关重要的作用，生产出战争所必需的航空汽油。

　　2011 年，埃萨石油英国公司从壳牌手中收购了该炼油厂，此后，埃萨公司投入巨资对该设施进行现代化改造。如今，该炼油厂由埃萨集团的子公司埃萨能源转型 (EET) 运营，致力于为该炼油厂创造低碳未来。

　　斯坦洛炼油厂是英国规模最大、结构最复杂的炼油厂之一，每年加工约 1000 万吨原油，为英国提供相当一部分公路运输燃料。预计氢燃料转换项目将在确保这一重要国家资产的可持续性方面发挥关键作用，同时支持英国的能源安全和弹性。

　　氢燃料转换项目将使 EET Fuels 从天然气和炼油厂尾气转变为氢气作为其炼油厂运营的主要燃料来源。该项目的一个关键组成部分是安装英国第一台氢气原油蒸馏炉，该炉能够以 100% 氢气或燃料气混合物运行。一旦全面投入运营，该炉每年将减少斯坦洛炼油厂 20 万吨的排放量。

　　EET Fuels 已任命全球领先的咨询和工程公司 Wood 负责 FEED 阶段。此阶段将涉及燃料系统、核心基础设施和控制系统的最终设计，以实现高效、安全的氢气燃烧。FEED 的完成将为 2025 年的最终投资决策 (FID) 铺平道路，这将标志着该项目发展的下一步。

　　“我们为英国的 EET Fuels 制定了开创性的计划，其中的核心是斯坦洛炼油厂。氢燃料转换是这些计划不可或缺的一部分，”EET Fuels 首席执行官 Deepak Maheshwari 表示。“与 Wood 这样的优秀合作伙伴一起进行 FEED 将使我们能够满怀信心地迈向最终的投资决策。”

　　EET Fuels advances hydrogen project at Stanlow Refinery with Wood

　　EET Fuels, the trading name of Essar Oil UK, has reached a significant milestone in its mission to create the world’s leading low-carbon process refinery by progressing to the front-end engineering design (FEED) stage for its Hydrogen Fuel Switching project. This initiative is central to EET Fuels’ strategy to decarbonise the Stanlow Refinery in the UK and reduce carbon emissions by 95% by 2030.

　　The Stanlow Refinery is located in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, on the south bank of the Manchester Ship Canal in the United Kingdom. The refinery was originally established by Shell in 1924, starting as a bitumen plant before expanding into a full-scale crude oil refinery by 1952. It played a crucial role during World War II, producing aviation spirit essential for the war effort.

　　In 2011, the refinery was acquired by Essar Oil UK from Shell, and since then, Essar has invested significantly in modernising the facility. Today, the refinery is operated by Essar Energy Transition (EET), a subsidiary of Essar Group focused on creating a low-carbon future for the site.

　　The Stanlow Refinery, one of the UK’s largest and most complex refineries, processes approximately 10 million tonnes of crude oil annually and supplies a significant portion of the UK’s road transport fuels. The hydrogen fuel switching project is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability of this critical national asset while supporting the UK’s energy security and resilience.

　　The Hydrogen Fuel Switching project will enable EET Fuels to transition from natural gas and refinery off-gas to hydrogen as the primary fuel source for its refinery operations. A key component of this project is the installation of the UK’s first hydrogen-ready crude distiller furnace, capable of operating on 100% hydrogen or a fuel-gas mix. Once fully operational, the furnace will reduce emissions at the Stanlow Refinery by 0.2 million tonnes per year.

　　EET Fuels has appointed Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, to conduct the FEED phase. This phase will involve the final design of the fuel system, core infrastructure, and control systems needed for the efficient and safe combustion of hydrogen. The completion of FEED will pave the way for a final investment decision (FID) in 2025, which will mark the next step in the project’s development.

　　“We have groundbreaking plans for EET Fuels in the UK, with the Stanlow Refinery at its heart. Hydrogen Fuel Switching is an integral part of these plans,” said Deepak Maheshwari, CEO of EET Fuels. “Conducting the FEED alongside a great partner in Wood will allow us to confidently move forward to the final investment decision.”
