Essar Energy Transition completes pre-FEED for UK SAF hub

In the UK, Essar Energy Transition (EET), which plans to create the world’s leading low carbon process refinery, has completed the Pre-Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) stage for one of the UK’s largest advanced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production hubs.

Integrated within the company’s Stanlow refinery’s infrastructure, the planned Stanlow Methanol to Jet (MtJ) project will produce more than 200,000 metric tons per annum (tpa) of advanced SAF, using approximately 550,000 tpa of renewable e-methanol and bio-methanol feedstock.

Co-locating the MtJ facility with the Stanlow refinery enables on-site blending of the SAF with the Essar Energy Transition Fuels conventional jet fuel volumes.  Utilising the existing export infrastructure, including access to the Manchester Jet, Midlands, and UKOP pipeline systems as well as existing road and marine distribution routes, the SAF can be supplied directly to the UK aviation sector, including major UK airports and airlines.
