SSE and EET Hydrogen Partner on Green Hydrogen Production Facility in the North West
09.11.2024 By Tank Terminals - NEWS

September 11, 2024 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- Two leading energy companies, SSE and EET Hydrogen, have partnered to develop a new green hydrogen production facility at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The project, named Gowy Green Hydrogen after the nearby River Gowy and Gowy Meadows Nature Reserve, aims to support regional industries in decarbonising their operations while helping to secure and grow local jobs.

 

The initial phase of the facility is expected to deliver 40MWe of hydrogen to industrial offtakers in the region, contributing to the UK’s goal of delivering 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen by 2030. Low-carbon hydrogen is seen as crucial for achieving a clean power system and enabling hard-to-abate industries to reduce their carbon emissions.

Gowy Green Hydrogen could be operational as early as 2028, with feasibility studies already completed and design and site investigation works underway. A planning application is expected to be submitted in 2025, with a final investment decision to be made thereafter.

Jess Ledger, Green Hydrogen Lead at EET Hydrogen, said, “Gowy Green is a fantastic addition to our existing portfolio of low carbon hydrogen projects, supporting our mission to be the leading low-carbon hydrogen business in the UK. We are delighted to be partnered with SSE, as the North West continues to lead in decarbonising industry and power through low-carbon hydrogen.”

Hannah Bronwin, director of business development for SSE Thermal, added, “Scaling up green hydrogen production will be essential when it comes to decarbonising hard-to-abate industries and solving the clean power puzzle. We’re excited to work with EET Hydrogen to develop Gowy Green Hydrogen, which can help secure much-needed hydrogen production capacity in a region that is already playing a leading role in the energy transition.”

SSE, known as the UK’s clean energy champion, is actively developing hydrogen projects across the value chain, including green and blue hydrogen production facilities, hydrogen storage, and hydrogen power generation. This project with EET Hydrogen further strengthens SSE’s commitment to playing a central role in the UK’s journey to net zero.
