Tom Barlow-BrownSSE and EET Hydrogen have announced plans to develop a 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, is expected to deliver 40 MWe of green hydrogen to industrial consumers in the region, supporting decarbonisation efforts.
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.’
The goal of the facility is to help hard-to-abate sectors transition to cleaner energy sources, aligning with the UK’s 2030 goal of producing 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen. The project could be operational by 2028, with feasibility studies complete and planning applications expected in 2025.
Hannah Bronwin, SSE Thermal’s Director of Business Development, added, ‘Scaling up green hydrogen production will be essential when it comes to decarbonising hard-to-abate industries.’
