Essar selects technology partner for UK industrial carbon capture facility

Essar Oil UK on Friday announced the selection of a second key licensor technology provider, Denmark-based Topsoe, for setting up an industrial carbon capture facility as part of its planned energy transition project at Stanlow, UK. Topsoe will provide its sustainable flue-gas treatment technology SNOXTM, the company said in a statement.

“This is a pivotal step towards Essar Oil UK’s USD 1.2 billion investment in decarbonising the refinery by reducing about 2 million tons of CO2 emissions, making it the world’s first low carbon refinery and a producer of low carbon fuels,” it said.
