"Switching to low carbon hydrogen will create jobs, attract investment and strengthen the North West’s position as a leading low carbon energy hub. "Low carbon hydrogen, produced at EET Hydrogen’s second hydrogen production plant (HPP2), will help nationally important industry to grow through the securing of vital investment and jobs in the UK’s leading manufacturing region." The customers span 10 vital sectors from chemicals, glass, power, automotive, construction, refining, aerospace, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals and ground transport.
"Some of these agreements are with businesses looking to deliver new investment in hydrogen fuelled plants in the region." Marta Csibra, Head of Strategy and Business Development at EET Hydrogen, said: “The North West hosts approximately 340,000 industrial jobs supplying vital products and services across the UK, and beyond. "Industry needs to transition to flourish in a low carbon future and EET Hydrogen is committed to enabling decarbonisation, rather than deindustrialisation.
" HPP2 will be co-located with HPP1 at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex with a proposed production capacity of up to 1000 MW, enough energy to power a city like Liverpool..
