The Environment Agency has today (3 February 2022) started a public consultation on an environmental permit application covering the Stanlow Oil Refinery site, operated by Essar Oil UK Limited.
Consultation is in response to an application by operator Essar for an environmental permit variation to introduce a new Hydrogen Production Plant on site. The new operation would be the first in the North West of England on the existing Stanlow Oil Refinery site.
Subject to approval, the variation will add a new Hydrogen Production unit on the existing Stanlow Oil Refinery site.
Nigel Glasgow, Cheshire’s Area Environment Manager, for the Environment Agency said:
“The Environment Agency is giving residents and businesses the opportunity to comment on the permit variation for the existing ESSAR site on Ellesmere Port. We regulate the refinery under an existing environmental permit, and in partnership with the Health and Safety Executive under Control of Major Accident and Hazards. This consultation only relates to the environmental permit.
The consultation is open until 3 March 2022 and we welcome your views and feedback on the permit variation.”
The Environment Agency’s consultation process will close on 3rd March 2022.

The Hydrogen Production Plant is part of the wider HyNet Project which will also distribute the produced hydrogen, as well as dispatching and storing the carbon dioxide captured by this plant. The carbon dioxide transportation and geological storage are not included in the scope of this permit variation application.
