The energy companies plan to build a £600m facility at Essar Oil UK’s Stanlow manufacturing complex in Cheshire to convert non-recyclable household waste into sustainable aviation fuel.
Essar Oil, which owns the Stanlow refinery at the Ellesmere Port industrial zone and US-based Fulcrum BioEnergy have signed a partnership to develop the proposals, which are currently at an early stage and no planning application has been submitted.
The project would use Fulcrum’s waste-to-fuel process, which is already being deployed at its facility outside Reno, Nevada, with operations due to begin later this year.
The proposed Cheshire bio-refinery would be Fulcrum’s first outside the US. It would convert several hundred thousand tonnes of pre-processed waste that would have otherwise been destined for incineration or landfill, into approximately 100 million litres of low carbon sustainable aviation fuel, known as SAF, annually.
