Essar Oil UK has announced plans to build a £360m carbon capture plant at its Stanlow refinery in Ellesmere Port.
The company said the move is part of its drive to become a "leading low carbon refinery" by 2030.
Kent plc has been awarded a pre-FEED engineering contract to develop the facility that will take the CO2 emitted from one of Europe’s largest full-Residue Fluidised Catalytic Cracking units, located at the Stanlow refinery.
