New Delhi, Essar Oil UK on Tuesday said it has selected the final key licensor technology provider for the planned industrial carbon capture facility based at Stanlow, UK. Selection of Elessent Clean Technologies’ Belco gas cleaning technology “is another pivotal step towards Essar Oil UK’s USD 1.2 billion investments in decarbonising the refinery by reducing 2 million tons of CO2 (95 per cent) emissions, making it the world’s first low carbon refinery and world’s first low carbon fuel producer,” the firm said in a statement.
With this, Essar Oil UK has onboarded all its key technology partners and the development of the basic engineering design packages (BEDP) for the licensed technologies is being progressed. This is an essential milestone during the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase of the project.
