Kent, a leading engineering company in oil and gas, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS), and hydrogen has been awarded a pre-FEED study by Essar Oil UK for the Stanlow refinery in Merseyside, UK.
Kent will incorporate a carbon capture and storage plant to capture carbon from the Fluid Catalytic Cracker (FCC) flue gas at Essar’s Stanlow Refinery in the northwest of England, the UK’s first low-carbon refinery.
The project will support Stanlow’s position as the central pillar of the HyNet low-carbon energy project and Essar’s UK decarbonisation strategy.
Matt Wills, market director, low carbon onshore projects at Kent, says: ‘We are delighted to be a part of this milestone project. We have an excellent relationship with Essar, and we feel honoured to continue supporting them in their aim to reduce energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to help meet global climate targets. Also, contract wins like these demonstrate our capability of full energy transition scopes, i.e. hydrogen, carbon capture, and decarbonisation.’
