SSE and EET Hydrogen have entered into a partnership to develop a 40MWe green hydrogen production facility at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The project, called Gowy Green Hydrogen, is designed to support the region’s industrial decarbonisation by supplying hydrogen to local industries.
The facility is part of the UK’s wider goal of producing 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen by 2030 and is expected to be operational in 2028. The companies have completed feasibility studies and are undertaking design and site investigations. A planning application is expected to be submitted in 2025, pending a final investment decision.
Joe Seifert, CEO of EET Hydrogen, was excited about the project, stating that it complements their existing low-carbon hydrogen initiatives. He emphasized Cheshire’s role in leading decarbonization efforts in the Northwest.
Hannah Bronwin, Director of Business Development at SSE Thermal, highlighted the importance of scaling up green hydrogen production to decarbonise hard-to-decarbonise industries. She noted that the Gowy Green Hydrogen project will play a crucial role in securing hydrogen production capacity and advancing the energy transition.
This collaboration is a vital step in the UK’s efforts to build a clean energy system and reduce emissions in hard-to-decarbonise industries. SSE continues to be a key player in a range of hydrogen initiatives, including hydrogen storage, production and power generation.
