Essar Oil UK Limited (EOUK) on Friday said it has selected Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd as technology provider for the development of the required basic engineering design package for its new EET Industrial Carbon Capture facility based at Stanlow, UK.
This is a leading use of carbon capture technology, associated with a fluid catalytic cracker within refineries globally.
“Following a detailed due diligence process, technology provider MHI has been selected for the carbon dioxide capture process section of the plant. Once captured, the carbon dioxide will be permanently sequestered into depleted gas fields under the sea in Liverpool Bay, as part of the HyNet cluster in the North West of England,” the company said in a statement.
