EET Fuels has appointed Toyo Engineering India Pvt Ltd to conduct a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for its industrial carbon capture (ICC) project.

EET Fuels plans to invest $1.2 billion over five years to decarbonize its Stanlow oil refinery in the UK. It is aiming for a 95% reduction in emissions by 2030.

The ICC project is projected to capture approximately 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually, removing approximately 45% of all Stanlow emissions. The ICC project, set to be completed in 2028, aims to capture carbon dioxide from Stanlow refinery’s largest full-residue fluid catalytic cracking unit.

It must be noted that EET Fuels has appointed Wood to conduct the FEED for its hydrogen fuel switching project.

Deepak Maheshwari, CEO, EET Fuels, said, “Our ambitious carbon capture and storage plans are a key component of Stanlow, securing the future of the refinery for generations to come and vastly reducing industrial carbon emissions in the North West. This announcement represents a significant milestone as we work to become the world’s first low carbon process refinery, and we look forward to working with Toyo-India to keep momentum towards achieving FID for this project.”
